    Queen Bey is Back!...Feel the BEAT of the 80's and 90's in the 2020's. The Queen starts us of with I'm that Girl (reclaiming her power) and ends with Summer Renaissance (celebrating happiness and love)...Every single track on the album blends well with each other and you even lose track that you have played a new track. This Album is a celebration of Love, Blackness, and the recognition ofQueen Bey is Back!...Feel the BEAT of the 80's and 90's in the 2020's.

    This album is incredible, with many boos that have so much repalyability which only adds to how good this album is. It celebrates dance music and it’s culture very well, with the samples being great. No skips either, apart from I’m That Girl and Move. Apart from them, perfect! :)

    Anyone who hates this album is a racist and hates women. I see a whole bunch of trump supporters leaving bad reviews on purpose knowing damn well they didn’t listen to it. This is one of best work and it has no skips. I can’t stop listening to it

    One of Beyoncé most cohesive albums to date! Beyoncé has proven to be one of the best artist in our lifetime. The hard work and dedication she puts in her work is phenomenal! The album seamlessly plays as one song at the beginning. A tribute to the black LGBTQ+ community! Overall a great body of work.

This album is one of the only few albums with un-skippable songs from I'm that girl all the way to Summer Renaissance, it is elegant, classy, refreshing and DIFFERENT. Beyoncé has always produced fine art and always takes pride in all her work but the way she experimented with different sounds and genres, pop, rnb and dance electronic emphasizes this fact. Truly a Summer and disco anthem.… Expand

    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.

    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.

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't usually do this but Beyoncé just gets it. She constantly reinvents herself, she constantly pushes herself outside of her comfort zone, and always delivers. BUT what helps is she has the talent and versatility to deliver any style of music which is where others fall short. I also appreciate that Bey is so inclusive. She goes out of her way to find contributors to help communicate whatever vision she is trying to execute as clearly as possible like TS Madison on Cozy or Honey Dijon on Alien Superstar. She didn't just make a dance music, Beyoncé studied the pioneers and even worked with some of greats that paved the way for her, (hello Nile Rodgers, hello Sheila E.) to bring Renaissance to life and she's done it flawlessly! Everyone can release descent music, but it takes a special talent to create an experience like Renaissance, and she's not even relying on visuals.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beyoncé pushes the boundaries of creativity…yet again. Queen Bey emerges herself into a world of music that makes you want to MOVE! This album showcases what happens when you combine great production, lyricism, and pristine vocals to fulfill an excellent body of work. From the beginning of the album, Beyoncé gets cocky on ‘IM THAT GIRL’ which makes a statement that expresses why she is the pinnacle. Don’t attribute anything else to her success, it’s all her! As the album progresses, we catapult into a new dimension on tracks like ‘ALIEN SUPERSTAR’ and transition throughout the rest of the album seamlessly when we land on tracks like ‘CUFF IT’, ‘ENERGY’, and ‘BREAK MY SOUL’. At no point does she entertain us with filler; every single song has intention and was created to sound like nothing you’ve ever heard before. This album wasn’t created as a ‘comeback’ album; it was created as a reminder! A reminder that Beyoncé produces quality work time and time again. Renaissance will surely replace one of your favorite Beyoncé releases in your personal ranking. Go ahead, press play, and don’t you dare skip a beat!… Expand

    Beyoncé at her best. She proves that not only is she THAT girl, but 20 years in her solo career she is the most versatile pop artist of our time.

    one of the best albums i’ve ever heard. Beyoncé spotlighting Queer Black people is one of the best things she has ever done and i’m so proud of her for taking the risk and redefining herself every time. Bravo Beyoncé!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beyoncé has done it again! It is evident in this body of work that Beyoncé thought outside of every box anyone has ever placed her in. From the “I’m that Girl” to “Summer Renaissance” is like being apart of an actual revival of culture & art. Each song takes you through the moments of fabulous night out on the town with the “gorls”! It’s very much giving c*nt*… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album is for musical sonography which many people didn't know they needed, but they needed. It's far from everything we have nowadays, it was already boring and massive to see so many songs the same and all in order to hit. It's good to see that someone in the industry still cares about bringing new experiences and perspectives on music. Beyoncé is the industry, too bad the world has its eyes covered for false art.… Expand

    Phenomenal album. Some of Beyoncé's best work. The transitions are amazing and the production is chaotic in the best way possible. Unlike anything you ever heard. Beyoncé continues to pave her own lane and show that she has no competition.

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

    Beyoncé's seventh solo album is a flawlessly structured feast. [Oct 2022, p.25]

    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.
