    Beyonce shifting to new genres? Beyonce reinventing herself? I believe none of them is correct: with this album, she simply perfects her craft - creating Albums with a strong cultural background and collage-like song production. And this work is her best example of doing that.

    Beyoncé gives a super elaborate tour in the most exclusive queer clubs of the 90s to celebrate the culture once again. Everything is crafted to perfection, with seamless transitions, highs and relaxing moments, harmonies and background adlibs for days and vocals only Bey could deliver. A magnum opus in her discography.

    Beyonce has done it again! Creating a body of work, while showing her musicality and versatility. Proving she can tackle any music genre, while still maintaining her musical identity and transcending music fads. She remains the artist/vocalist/entertainer of her generation. This is the album of the year, Well done Beyonce!

    It’s perfect. Each song is its own masterpiece. You rarely hear music this advanced, this progressive, this innovative, this well-crafted. It sounds like 2005, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2022, 2050. It sounds like the past, the present, and the future.

    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 Problem.

    A mosaic of references that manages to be original and does not come shy of brilliance. This is Beyoncé using all of her cultural coin to make house and dance music be recognized as a black/latino/queer american creation. They forgot black people made rock n' roll and Bey does not want history to repeat itself. Also, it's just THAT good.

This album ratifies Beyoncé as the greatest living entertainer -perhaps the greatest of all time, but sadly some are not ready for that statement. Bombastic beats that make you soar and transport you to the late 80s and early 90s ballroom and house scene, all infused with a refined disco groove from the 70s. There are synths, bass, horns, snaps, claps, stacked vocals and more that are elevated by the immaculate production. You HAVE to hear this album (patiently and in a space that allows you to DANCE) in the order the artist intended to and with a full glass of water by your side because you won’t be able to resist its groove and rhythm. You will DANCE, sweat and sing the lyrics as if you already knew them. This is the album I’ve been waiting since the pandemic started its “remission”. No other artist or project had been able to hit the note. Of course Queen B had to be the one, right? If you are anything like the author of this review, you’ve been struggling to get back to your old self (both mentally and physically) ever since March 2020 came. I also happen to be young enough to not know the majority of references, samples and the social and historical context Beyoncé is paying homage and drawing from to build Renaissance - Act 1. Therefore, for the past month or so I’ve been reading and studying about the ballroom culture, the 70s, 80s and early 90s disco, house and clubhouse music and history. I’ve learned so much about how black people in the United States- particularly black members of the LGBTQ community in those years- ORIGINATED and CRAFTED those musical genres in clubs, drag runway shows, voguing, kikis, alleys, recording booths, disco ballrooms, etc. All while being ostracized, rejected and suffering from the AIDS pandemic. This album transports me to those parties, to an era I didn’t live and expressed pure love to those unseen communities.

    I can’t help but connect that pandemic with the covid-19 pandemic in which Beyoncé crafted her Renaissance and freed herself from perfectionism and musical expectations. Maybe I’m reaching but perhaps the suffering and stress of the recent pandemic unlocked a creative vault in her brain, one that was filled with memories and musical references definitely introduced by her dear uncle Jhonny and her deep love for musical icons like Donna Summer, Prince, MJ, Dianna Ross, etc.

    All songs deserve their own moment and they all feel incredibly thoughtful and meticulously curated. I won’t go into specifics so you can discover every song by yourself. Just know that my favorites right now are:
    - Alien Superstar, Summer Renaissance, Cuff it, Pure/Honey, Virgo’s Groove, Break my Soul, Church Girl, Move and Heated. Give this album the time, light, joy and dance floor space it deserves. Give Beyoncé all the flowers she deserves. Go into this project with an open mind and ENJOY it. That is what Beyoncé does so good that others can’t do or die trying: she really cares and succeeds at making her fans (us, her beloved Beyhive) and all other listeners truly ENJOY MUSIC. What a joy and thrill it is to live at the same time as Beyoncé. What an amazing privilege it is to witness true artistry. Long live the QUEEN and her Renaissance. throught    … Expand

Rooted in honesty and what is real, the Queen conjures a pocket of escape that allows the listener to release their inhibitions, to dream, and to be themselves, without the burdensome coercions of the world to be perfect! The cornerstone of this album both thematically and sonically is the celebration of UNIQUENESS! A bold and unafraid homage to the Queer and Black roots of club and disco music. RENAISSANCE is culturally steeped in all things Queer and all things Black! It’s the culmination of inclusion and collaboration, boasting a most diverse group of musicians and artists of the demographic. Thank you Queen Bey for graciously sharing your gift with the world. Your incomprehensible contribution to music and to our lives is seen and felt everyday and you will always be THAT GIRL! WE LOVE YOU QUEEN BEYONCÉ. 10s ACROSS THE BOARD.… Expand

Every song is brilliant on its own and they are perfectly sequenced with absolutely seamless transitions. Anyone hating on this album is playing themself.

    The album shows yet another side of Beyoncé, another experimental version. This album brings the joy and excitement out of the listener. From house to funk and references from ballroom culture this album unites everyone on the dance floor. It is not surprising how amazing her vocals sound and the production is top notch. The flow from one song to the other deserves a Grammy on its own!

Beyoncé somehow manages to, once again, completely reinvent her sound while making every song uniquely her own. She is a musical auteur, putting her touch on every lyric, every trill, every consonant—every detail.

    The album, heavily inspired by the Disco, House and Ballroom genres, is a sonic ode to confidence, acceptance and elation. Though the album does not have any signature Beyoncé ballads (the closest being the groovy love song, “Plastic Off the Sofa”), it still showcases the vocal control and acrobatics of Beyoncé’s trained instrument. From her melodic runs, to her harmonic backing vocals, all the way to her forceful commanding raps, Beyoncé demands awe and attention.

    Musically, Renaissance blends together like a perfect recipe, with each song standing out on its own but seemlessoy transitioning to the next while contributing to the overall product. It’s a cohesive body of work that sees Beyoncé get down and dirty while paying homage to LGBTQ+ culture that originated in Black queer and trans communities. The album includes contributions from some of the queer community’s biggest artists, including Big Freedia, TS Madison, Kevin Aviance and Honey Dijon. Among the club soundscape, you’ll also hear an unexpected sample of The Clark Sisters’ “Center of Thy Will” on “Church Girl”—a track that, perhaps, encourages you to get on your knees in other ways after you “drop it like a thottie.” It’s the cheeky juxtaposition that many of us have come to witness in real life: sometimes, the most devoted “church girls” are the wildest outside of the pews. And Beyoncé channels it into a dance anthem.

    The sounds of the album may take a while for some people to get used to, especially those who are not familiar with House music or Ballroom culture. But if you give the new sounds a chance, they will surely grow on you. Renaissance is an experimental risk that Beyoncé has taken to provide us with a joyous dance album, and that risk has paid off.    … Expand

    O álbum da carreira. Uma sonoridade incrível que mescla o melhor do disco dos anos 70/80 com um refinamento que só a Beyoncé poderia nos dar hoje em dia. Um álbum pra não pular nenhuma faixa. Impecável!

    A celebração do ballroom veio com toda força da forma mais respeitosa possível. Beyoncé nos deu a explicação para o seu jeito "intocável" oferecendo cultura sobre um patamar no qual resgatou para a nossa pista de dança. Aqui é falado sobre amor em suas 2 maneiras: amar a si mesmo e aos outros. Um verdadeiro culto, pode-se chamar de bíblia do vogue.

For example, PURE/HONEY goes from ballroom to a Prince song, back to the ballroom, and finishing with a Michael Jackson song. Chef's kiss. Renaissance is precisely that, a renaissance of music. she combines her own Hip-Hop and Pop sounds and blends them with old-school disco and early 90s House music. With other great albums out, like Lizzo's, Beyonce truly takes the crown of all crowns.… Expand

    EU ESTOU TRANSCENDENDO COM A QUALIDADE DESSE ÁLBUM. Ao mesmo tempo que possui faixas com misturas de afrobeat, bounce, dance, house e disco, possui inúmeras frases de duplo sentido e críticas sociais. É icônico, e consegue ser atual, dançante não sendo superficial. Beyoncé se arrisca novamente e recebe o devido valor por isso.

    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.
