    This album was such an amazing journey. A story about their love, family and fame. They open up about their struggles and their place in the world and how they feel about it. They also talk about how at the end of the day, beyond all the sparkling wonders of fame, they are just people, like anyone else.
    It's captivating and rewarding. Don't miss it.

    The Carters are a great duo as we all know but in this project, they use their music to communicate with their fans. Its not the typical Beyoncé we're used to though. She has simply reached a level in her career that she can do whatever she wants whether we like it or not. The album is great

    this album is a portrayal of Beyonce and Jay z 's world. through this album you can hear the anger, the love they have for each other. they also have the ability to weave real word topics in their music. they battle topics such as the athlete's protests to the incarceration of black men in such a simple way. they have truly cultivated a timeless album.

    A perfect ending to the era that is Lemonade and 4:44. A masterpiece. We hear a carefree Beyoncé and Jay get everything that they want off their chest. They have told each of their stories and now are back to tell us through all of it they are still happy in love. A timeless classic will age like WINE.

    I absolutely adore Beyoncé. I feel her songs really help me when I feel sad, happy, excited, etc. This album seems a little disappointing though. It doesn't really make me feel anything. All the songs seem similar, and I HATE the use of autotune. She's better than that!!! I think the best songs are SUMMER, APE****, BLACK EFFECT, and LOVEHAPPY.

    Coeso, profundo, com samples muito bem utilizados, Everything is Love é, sem duvidas, o melhor album do ano. Destaque para Apes**t, Blackeffect, Summer, Lovehappy.

    I enjoy every song on this album! I listen to this album over and over, never anticipating the next song, which is rare for me. Beyonce dusted her magic all over this album and Jay raps the hell out of his verses, on every song. I'm excited about this summer jam-out album! Yet another brilliant album from two brilliant people.

    Sadly, no - not Everything is Love, more likely everything is bu****it on this album. Tracks are skippable, generally, and "Queen" B sounds unemotional. More importantly, it's a superficial album recorded by a pair of shallow people who are also thiefs... I don't buy their concept of "love".

    No me gusto del todo. Este nuevo rumbo que tomaron Beyonce Y Jay Z musicalmente no me gusta, nada que ver con 4:44 o Lemonade (los cuales son mejores que este album). Ya con escuchar APES*IT sabria como iba a ir este album y no me equivoque, canciones con contenido lirico basico y beats que no resaltan fuera de lo normal, un trap cualquiera

    Meh. Downgrade from Jay Z's 4:44 and Beyonce's Lemonade. Its kinda weird to hear B and Jay just flex rap like everyone else now is. Lacks any real creativity or any passion as the previous projects I mentioned had. Besides **** and one or two more, nothing really that good on this project. Plus, Beyonce is not a good rapper. She literally has one flow and a monotone voice tone to rap withMeh. Downgrade from Jay Z's 4:44 and Beyonce's Lemonade. Its kinda weird to hear B and Jay just flex rap like everyone else now is.

Jay Z's choppy flows sound weird and that he actually overwrote his lines and that he had to cram his lyrics in each line. Not terrible, but disappointing… Expand

    A deeply disappointing album from two great artists. It seems they lost their way becoming obsessed with money and appearance and losing any and all emotions and realness to their art.

    Nothing but a show-off. Does not have a positive message people can relate to. Jay-Z's verses aren't good and his interventions are incredibly stupid.

    EVERYTHING IS LOVE is definitely not Beyonce or JAY Z's best. I mean its nowhere close to an easy listen. A lot of the songs are just bad...

BOSS, just one of the trash songs I was explaining, id skip if i were you 1/10 4. NICE. its so uncomfortable to    EVERYTHING IS LOVE is definitely not Beyonce or JAY Z's best.

    Standouts are **** 713 & FRIENDS

    Overall: 3.33 (rounded down to 3) Beyonce and JAY Z have done better than this before... idk what happened here but it was not good at all.    … Expand

    What happened to the "4" Beyoncé?? This record is extremely forgettable, incoherent and clearly seems to be aiming for the charts. The trap influence is also very bugging. Even "Lemonade" was better than this mess. The lyricism is also extremely effortless and only remarks their obsession with their wealth.

    Este álbum muito bom produzido pela grande Beyoncé e pelo talentoso Jay-Z mostra-nos músicas tocantes e com sonoridades incríveis. Não há "fillers" aqui e tudo está bem. Destaques para "SUMMER", "BOSS" e, finalmente, "HEARD ABOUT US".

    Beyonce and Jay-Z take pop, R&B, and rap for a spin on "EVERYTHING IS LOVE" and the result is a jolt of energy and artistry. Whether it be the smooth and warm breeziness of "SUMMER", or the fun and excitement in **** or the extraordinary groove and intellect of "LOVEHAPPY", "EVERYTHING IS LOVE" sees the musical power couple at their best and brightest.

    What is this? Why?Why? Why is Beyoncé forcing me to listen to Jayz? Seriously woman, get a solo carreer for once. Absolutely no one, I said, no one! wants to see you with him. I'm giving one point for the beauty of the **** music video. The rest is ear-bleeding material.

    Beyoncé and JAY Z come together for their first collaboration album under the surname of The Carters. This short-lived album, combines the sound of both artists for a beautiful homage of their love for their race, friends, fans, and most of all each other.

I enjoyed hearing both artists on this album, but I felt like some tracks felt more like Bey's or just JAY Z's instead of a collaboration on each track. I also wanted a bit more production wise and I felt like some production was stuff we had heard on Bey's last two albums. Nevertheless, it was a nice collaborative project and I look forward to seeing what Bey has for her next project.

    The fact that Beyoncé and JayZ are making bop after bop and the children are sleeping on them makes me angry. I think this album has the concept, the production, the lyrics and the vocals we all expected from these two incredible artists, yet they were slept on.

    As an album it’s almost entirely soporifically dull though beautifully appointed throughout (and it’s a joy to hear Beyoncé rapping) by some smart production from both main protagonists and some slick grooves from the Daptone band. [Aug 2018, p.68]

    It's also a sonic master class in marital counseling and commitment, wherein Beyoncé emerges with the upper hand and a contrite Jay is lucky she's so gracious. Vocally, it's a similar story: Beyoncé shines here, balancing light rap verses ("Apeshit" and "Nice") with some of the prettiest vocals she's recorded in years ("Friends"), while Jay offers his standard braggadocious bars that nonetheless make an impact for their occasional honesty and humility.

    There’s a sense of immediacy and even unpredictability in the most restless moments on Everything In Love, which saves the album from being a rather static and defiant contemplation of The Carters’ victories.
