simon Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 1 minute ago, Somnambulist said: I certainly think she made a great record but higher than self titled and lemonade? I......dont know about that. Lemonade literally has a class a professor teaches, it has so much nuance and history and while Renaissance is certainly fun and very well produced, it just doesn't seem as powerful to me, especially in regards to the lyrics and melodies. I know quite a bit about ballroom and all that, and I really appreciate all the details the record makes to reference that history, but its pretty surface level to me. In any case, good for her though, she made a great record. Lemonade deserved a 10.0 because of its cultural depth. It will receive that in its retrospective review. Renaissance is much more musically experimental than Lemonade, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abeille Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 "Her global reach is a reminder that Beyoncé, the billionaire pop icon, does not and could not exist in a vacuum. Renaissance reinvents Beyoncé again, and she trusts that her fans will be up for the challenge. She is 40 years old, the age society at large tends to start writing women artists (and women in general) off as creatives who still have something to offer, but she refuses to submit to that bullshit, making herself impossible to ignore."

In any case, good for her though, she made a great record. I feel you on this one. First time watching Lemonade premiere I was in tears. But over time I realize Lemonade as a whole project is like 10/10 but the music itself is like 8/10. The middle part drags a bit too much. Sandcastles sounds like an Adele B-side I guess she has to put it in for the sake of storytelling. It’s the whole story and visual that elevate the project and give it layers of meaning. Meanwhile, every song on Renaissance is top tier with insane production value. I think it’s really on par with ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOMBAYAH Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I gasped when I saw the score omg, not that she doesn’t deserve it but Pitchfork is usually an overly-strict publication so didn’t think they’d actually give such a high score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyonce_runthis Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Beyoncé’s season is in full force girls. Be ready for acclaim, success and most of all the bitter bitter taste of tears from the haters. She just continues to win ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillycilla Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I know people don’t think Renaissance has much depth due to the carefree nature of the album. However I believe the album is a lot more political and nuanced than you think. The visuals will confirm that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandicha Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I'm actually shocked, I thought that they weren't going to like this album because it was different from what we've come to expect from her but... they got it right tbh. Love to see her just making more interesting and more experimental music later into her career. For me this one is about on part with self-titled but better than Lemonade.
