Album Review: Beyoncé - Renaissance

Album Review: Beyoncé - Renaissance

“These different personas are dipped in and out of as Beyoncé and co keep switching up the beat and style, fluidly transferring from body to body, each as alive and active as the next. While there are plenty of young pop acts using dance sounds in their music, Beyoncé isn’t so interested in trying to do something modern – these songs are rooted in the tried and true styles of the last 50 years, from house to dancehall to disco and much more.”

I wrote a review of the kick-ass new Beyoncé album a couple of hours after the England Women lifted the Euro 2022 trophy, so I was a bit inebriated. Take a look over on BPM.
