    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.

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

    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.

    Her best work of art - songs comprised of house, disco, r&b, and more. She continues outdoing herself with her vocal, production, lyrics, sampling, and so forth. If this is what she has to offer for her first act, then I am excited to see what she has in store for the next two acts/albums.
