The production choices are either tame or peculiar. I enjoyed some of the artistic direction though.

Queen B with the bouncy ass shit. RENAISSANCE has got everything Beyonce: it fuses the artsier side of her previous two records, the fun and radio-friendly side of her biggest bangers, and the "for the culture" dimension that is always close to her heart. Now only have to shake da ass to these house-full jams.

This was not good. I don't know how this has so much praise from everyone. It's bland, the lyrics are bad, it's just overlong and boring. Maybe I'm just a hater, who knows...

It'd be silly of me to crown this quite straightforward nu-disco album as a reinvention of something or a solidly groundbreaking effort, but I cannot in good faith understate the extensive qualities on display here. Beyonce is a skilled artist and a careful networker, knowing well what song-writers and producers to involve in her projects to strike gold. That is why her albums nowadays are released in great time intervals, in order to secure some quality control management. Even if she does not have much to say, her music communicates volumes of power and fun that not many can accomplish.

Beyoncé's true seventh album is nothing short of a groundbreaking modern pop album. It?s weird to say that because obviously house music has had a long history in pop music from the heavy use of tropical and festival house during the mid-2010s to the boom of deep house in the ?90s and early 2000s, but Beyoncé revolutionizes various styles of house for the 2022 rebranding of pop music. It?s no secret that in the last few years pop music has been trying to find a new sound and style. From the nu disco and dancehall rebrands of Dua Lipa (and others) to the obvious explosion of alt-pop and ambient pop with Billie Eilish (and others), the more lowkey and emotional indie folk and singer/songwriter of Phoebe Bridgers (and others), the small rebrand of pop punk with Olivia Rodrigo, and the exploration of hyperpop with Charlie XCX (and others). Beyoncé takes most of these genres and styles to the forefront of her new sound and style. Renaissance is an explosive, sexual, black, and explorative dance-pop, house, and contemporary RnB album that dives into various subgenres of these and more. For example, take the neoperrepo and afrobeat heavy-hitting opener in ?I?m That Girl?, then the deconstructed club banger of ?All Up In Your Mind?, or the funky house and nu-disco ?Virgo?s Groove?. But the album goes through these ideas and genres with a perfect balance of heavy hitting and smooth grooves without really losing a step, other than ?Break My Soul? and ?Plastic Off the Sofa?. I really have to say I can?t wait to see what these other installments will sound like if this is the first one.

Wall to wall good solid songs but I would have liked greater variety in the arrangements - brassy Bey is the best Bey. Best songs: 'Summer Renaissance', 'Thique'
