    What a ride. Renaissance is one of the best albums of all time. It is Beyonce's best album to date there is no question about it. Not only is this the best effort in the pop genre, the seamless transitions track to track allow for practical playlists such as workouts and home cooking. You will find yourself repeating them over and over just to hear something you hadn't heard before.What a ride. Renaissance is one of the best albums of all time.

You will find yourself repeating them over and over just to hear something you hadn't heard before. Beyonce is a genius in her prime, comfortably in her first Act 1/3. I hope to see the momentum rise for her next couple albums. My beekeeping sister slayed, she did. She sought out a very fun vibe for this album, and it worked. We are exhausted of hearing poppy breakup songs. BGM.… Expand

    Very unusual album from Beyonce. Although not a masterpiece like Lemonade was, I like how it is pretty unusual and in some cases strange. The best thing about this album is how the songs are "mixed" and transit immediatelly from one to next one; like Madonna's Confessions on a Dance Floor. Ny favourites: I'm That Girl, Alien Superstar and America Has A Proble

    Beyoncé has set the bar even higher for her latest album "RENAISSANCE". This is something she has never done before, and even so, it is so beautiful and surely marks a highlight on her over 25 year-old career.

With dance tunes, slow songs, dance grooves and many more this album has redefined what a modern album show be like!

    É incrível a capacidade da Beyoncé de sair da zona de conforto e mesmo assim nunca perder a qualidade. Ela disse que esse era um álbum pra trazer alegria, celebrar, de divertir e eu não consigo não sentir essas sensações ao ouvir o renaissance. Ele simplesmente cumpre o que é prometido em todos os aspectos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beyoncé pushes the boundaries of creativity…yet again. Queen Bey emerges herself into a world of music that makes you want to MOVE! This album showcases what happens when you combine great production, lyricism, and pristine vocals to fulfill an excellent body of work. From the beginning of the album, Beyoncé gets cocky on ‘IM THAT GIRL’ which makes a statement that expresses why she is the pinnacle. Don’t attribute anything else to her success, it’s all her! As the album progresses, we catapult into a new dimension on tracks like ‘ALIEN SUPERSTAR’ and transition throughout the rest of the album seamlessly when we land on tracks like ‘CUFF IT’, ‘ENERGY’, and ‘BREAK MY SOUL’. At no point does she entertain us with filler; every single song has intention and was created to sound like nothing you’ve ever heard before. This album wasn’t created as a ‘comeback’ album; it was created as a reminder! A reminder that Beyoncé produces quality work time and time again. Renaissance will surely replace one of your favorite Beyoncé releases in your personal ranking. Go ahead, press play, and don’t you dare skip a beat!… Expand

It's far from everything we have nowadays, it was already boring and massive to see so many songs the same and all in order to hit. It's good to see that someone in the industry still cares about bringing new experiences and perspectives on music. Beyoncé is the industry, too bad the world has its eyes covered for false art.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't usually do this but Beyoncé just gets it. She constantly reinvents herself, she constantly pushes herself outside of her comfort zone, and always delivers. BUT what helps is she has the talent and versatility to deliver any style of music which is where others fall short. I also appreciate that Bey is so inclusive. She goes out of her way to find contributors to help communicate whatever vision she is trying to execute as clearly as possible like TS Madison on Cozy or Honey Dijon on Alien Superstar. She didn't just make a dance music, Beyoncé studied the pioneers and even worked with some of greats that paved the way for her, (hello Nile Rodgers, hello Sheila E.) to bring Renaissance to life and she's done it flawlessly! Everyone can release descent music, but it takes a special talent to create an experience like Renaissance, and she's not even relying on visuals.… Expand

    A beautiful body of work. This is art at its finest. The tracks feel like a warm hug after a long day.

    Best in everything... Beyonce' is the Queen of music for a reason. Renaissance is indeed a body of work, proof of a perfectionist behind the strings of this masterpiece "Genius". An echo from the past into the future. This Album is "One of One", "Number One", "The only one", "UNIQUE".

    Beautiful cohesive work. Worth the listen and wait. She's mixed so many elements of dance and somehow managed to make them all work.

    A continuous mix of hedonism, virtuosity, scholarship and, as one of her disco antecedents would have it, Good Times. [Nov 2022, p.84]

    Beyoncé's seventh solo album is a flawlessly structured feast. [Oct 2022, p.25]

    Renaissance derives its meaning through its diverse soundscape, which, due to Beyoncé’s astute curation, becomes a statement about letting the music speak for itself.
