    Beyonce's best album. She keeps on increasing her ability to show the world how an a complete artist she is.
    Undeniably a runner for Grammy's AOTY

    hands down her best album. None of Beyoncé albums sound the same. I love that she gives her fans something completely different with each album she puts out

    LOVING IT!!!

This album explores many genre's that haven't been explored or talked about in a while.. every song makes you want to get up and dance no matter where you are or no matter who's watching.. from the flawless transitions to the affirmations that Beyoncé intended for you to say when you sing along!! From her sampling some of the legends of music, ( Donna Summer, Robin S, Teena Marie, and even a interpolation of Nasty Girl by Vanity 6) such a fun album.. I've played it so far a total of 403 times.. and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. Thank you to Beyoncé for letting us know that while the world may be in shambles it's still ok to let loose and dance!!… Expand

    Renaissance é um álbum perfeito e maravilhoso, digno da Beyoncé. A transição entre as músicas é perfeita. É um disco quase que completamente dançante. Todas as músicas são absolutamente incríveis e não possuem nenhum defeito! Beyoncé acertou na medida certa de tudo.

    This album just gets better with every listen. This is house with sub genres. We’re dancing! Rap, vocals, layers, beautifully interchangeable beats. She’s insane.

    Sicuramente album dell’anno, un album che pur essendo lungo più di un’ora non risulta pesante. Complimenti alla queen del pop, che anche questa volta ha fatto centro!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beyoncé pulls no punches on RENAISSANCE, delivering 62 minutes of sonic joy filled with unabashedly fun, self-assured and sexy lyrics. That the album is fantastic should come as no surprise — it is Beyoncé, after all — but even amid her discography, RENAISSANCE is her most impressive studio accomplishment to date, shifting from her usual R&B, soul and pop to a mix of house, electro dance, funk and disco. RENAISSANCE is an awe-inspiring reminder that Mrs. Knowles-Carter's only real competition is herself.… Expand

    Such an amazing body of work the Queen. She’s truly elevated herself again with a fresh sound. This album is like a dissertation of dance. Blending together so many authentic dance sounds from House, Techno, Hyper-Pop, HipHop, Funk, DISCO, Sissy Bounce, etc. The transitions are some of if not the Best musical transitions we’ve had amongst pop music ever.

    Álbum muito incomum de Beyoncé. Embora não seja uma obra-prima como a Lemonade, eu gosto de como é bastante incomum e, em alguns casos, estranha. A melhor coisa sobre este álbum é como as músicas são "misturadas" e transitam imediatamente de uma para a próxima; como Confessions on a Dance Floor de Madonna. Favoritos de Ny: Eu sou aquela garota, Alien Superstar e a América tem um problema.Álbum muito incomum de Beyoncé.

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

    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.
