Renaissance has been carefully crafted for those who love to dance, have fun and just enjoy life! An album that is extremely needed in today’s society where the threat of recessions, war and health problems can become overpowering, but no one or nothing can overpower Queen Bey! I would dare say Renaissance knocks Self-Titled off the top spot of Beyoncé’s whole discography!… Expand

    this album is so grooving and dancy and so relatable. she really felt comfortable doing this project and you can tell. the production, vocals, the sampling. everything’s on par. she even done her research and involved the black lgbt and dance pop artists before her. she deserves her flowers

    It’s crazy to think that Beyoncé managed to top Lemonade with this album, and after three (THREE!!) projects with visuals, she convinced the world that her album does not need them to be good.

    Truly an one of one, nobody can’t think like her.

    Beyoncé yielded an ageless club masterpiece. To call Beyoncé a titan and icon in the music industry is a complete understatement of who she truly is. She always brings something new whilst elevating and celebrating her past. Like she states in ALIEN SUPERSTAR, she is one of one, she is number one.

    Excellent from top to bottom. The 1hr 2 min go by so fast that you have no choice but to restart the whole thing from the top, the transitions are top tier, and you can tell that she really took her time to perfect this album. Worth the wait for a solo Beyoncé album.

    I am a bit of a reserved person, but this album makes me want to get up and dance ( of course when no one is around lol). The songs make me feel good and free. The album sounds really fresh compared to other albums I've listened to. I like the fact that she released the clean version of the album too. The only criticism I have is the album cover, although iconic, I wish she was more covered.

    Beyoncé’s seventh studio album is a celebration of identity. In celebrating her own identity in some moments beyonce is letting us celebrate ourselves on the dance floor - encouraging us to be “cozy in my skin” and“UNIQUE”.

Beyoncé with RENAISSANCE finds yet another opportunity to pay a beautiful tribute to black music and culture from around the world.

Y eso me asusta y me gusta muchísimo, Beyoncé cada vez nos deja más y más claro que es una living legend, nos ha dado un proyecto que está unos niveles de adelantado a su época que no son ni medio normales, pero a la vez con sonidos de generaciones biende anteriores, literalmente esto es un avance para la música en general. A nivel vocal, es difícil que Beyoncé haga un proyecto que no esté sobre 10, pero en este caso ha sido sobre muchísimo más de lo que puede una persona ennumerar con sus dedos (manos y pies). Lo mucho que ha experimentado con su voz forma parte de lo increíble que es este proyecto y lo especial que lo hace. Las lyrics son sorprendentemente buenas, cuando salió Break My Soul, pensé que sería su peor album en cuanto a lyrics y me como mis palabras con patatas, genuinamente Beyoncé y el rap-singing es una cosa que NO SE PUEDEEEE. Aun que el concepto no sea tan elaborado como lo fue su predecesor, Lemonade, el proyecto es incluso hasta el más arriesgado, ambicioso y rico que ha hecho Beyoncé hasta la fecha. Por supuesto que es el álbum más cohesivo que he escuchado nunca, lo conectado que está entre pistas y las transiciones??? Son completamente cosa de otro mundo. Francamente parece una única canción de 1 hora con una serie de cambios, creo que es el ejemplo perfecto de lo que es un no album que sea una playlist de canciones y ya. La felicidad que me ha transmitido esta persona es completamente desmedida así que si, en cuanto a persuasive es un sí.

While also deeply invested in celebrating Black queerness, Renaissance is an exhilarating dance album. Curated for the dance floor, every song seamlessly transitions into the next, resulting in over an hour of complete bliss.

    Beyoncé did it again! With "RENAISSANCE" she brings back a lot of things, from history to joy, she also brings old ball room vibes to a modern world that has recent scars. I can`t compare to the previous album, "LEMONADE", they tell different stories, but in this new one, she not only gave you a history class but she did that with happiness, voice, identity, that is a thing that anyoneBeyoncé did it again!

    This album is 100% album of the year so far. Every song on this album is amazing and the transitions are just amazing. Over her career, Beyoncé has only gotten better and that continues to be the case with RENAISSANCE. So far, I've listened to the album 6 times and I haven't listened to anything else since it came out. I would highly recommend everyone listen to it.

    Wow! Quel album! J'ai adoré du début à la fin. Elle a fait une énorme prise de risque et on peut on dire que ça lui a totalement réussi. Elle s'est vraiment surpassée. Elle ne nous déçoit jamais. Un très grand bravo à elle.

    When Beyoncé released Break My Soul I cleared felt as the best it was yet to come. This album got me fully surprised. It's definitely something that rased with time, there's so many details, especially in the production. Songs with phases, transitions and unique elements. It's a masterpiece.

This album got me fully surprised. It's definitely something that rased with time, there's so many details, especially in the production. Songs with phases, transitions and unique elements. It's a masterpiece. She definitely worked hard in these three years of production. She's still serving concept and carrying support for the black community. I dare to say that Renaissance it's more big and good than Lemonade. Beyoncé is vibing her past, ancestrality. It's a masterpiece in all aspects. It's powerful, empowered, underground, groovy, classy and you won't listen to it without dancing. One of the albuns wich deserve the AOTY title.… Expand

    The best!! Uma nova Beyoncé que não conhecíamos, mas que segue no mesmo nível artistíco que estávamos acostumados. As influências do dance house e o afrobeat completam essa obra atemporal. Certamente, um destaque em sua discografia.

    O RENAISSANCE é um dos álbuns mais incríveis que a BEYONCE já lançou. Ele traz referências lírica e sonoras de toda a sua discografia.

    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.
