This album was the original Renaissance. Beyoncé is determined not to follow traditional musical standards. She’s following her instincts. Matthew is no longer her manager so everything is on her shoulders. She’s just had Blue and she’s trying to realign her priorities, juggle motherhood and being a wife, and continue her artistry. In the middle of all of this she’s also trying to lose the baby weight and rediscover her sexiness. The result is this more mature, less regimented album that acknowledges all the parts of her womanhood. There’s thought provoking tracks, sexy grooves, and haunting unexpected transitions. She’s left behind the commercial, pop Bey and dived into “Beyoncé: Grown Woman”. She curses and drinks a little. She even requests and talks about sex and her feelings of jealousy. This album was about freedom from restricting expectations and standards.

Went to the renaissance tour with my girl when it came to LA in September, and my appreciation for Bey just went higher.. Beyoncé for me was like yeah I know she’s great, but I’m not her target audience. But I swear after seeing her show man nobody can compete with her.. she did me a solid by bringing Kendrick out tho 💪🏾😂

When we are old and grey, and Beyoncé is no more, XO will move us to tears. It's the audio representation of longing. At least sonically.

Yes thanks! Just enjoying the plethora of good bey content

Considering the fact that this record is almost 10 years old next month, I love it each and every worth a minute of that self titled album. It dropped unannounced and set the standard to the music industry, in terms of releasing a single or an album, without the label's traditional promo and rollout. At that time, I was 18 years old and remember thinking, "The Queen is back, like she never left!" Not only did she drop the record, she even released the accompanied seventeen visuals. I don't gotta fave track, its the whole ass record for me❤❤❤❤

I love that you'll reacted to this album! Please do Lemonade and Rennisance next.

It was actually not available on any streaming platforms and you had to purchase the entire album, no songs were available ala carte. It was wild. And accompanied by a music video for every song. We were shook

Love this album so much. It's so nostalgic but I don't just love it for that. It's just an amazing album that to me, is just timeless. Like you said it takes you on a journey for every single song it's so amazing to just sit and listen to the whole album. And the fact that it also has a visual movie!!! Insane

You forgot to mention that this was she stepped away from her dad and she ditched the “clean/pure/perfect” image. This album had profanity and sort of humanized her

@AngeBiampandou

8 ай бұрын

Her departure from Matthew Knowles was before 4. This album was after Blue Ivy. But that's definitely when she wanted to ditch perfect clean image and to be more spontaneous and liberated. I think motherhood really impacted her in a beautiful way. She felt even more comfortable in her body

Hey yall, i really think yall should react to Renaissance. Just because of all the musical changes, production it would be a really good talking piece. Also Beyoncé’s voice has matured tremendously, listening to this made me realize how much depth she has now in her voice and experience. She’s like really seasoned idk how to describe it and I’m curious if yall will be able to tell. And if your dad is a big 70s fan i mean that’s like the perfect album for him. Bday is one of favs as well because it’s so funky.

“Beyoncé” is an absolute work of art from start to finish. Love this album and to think she originated the “Suprise Drop” release too boot!? So iconic.

Dad has to listen to IV, Lemonade, Black is King, and Renaissance! Beyoncé walked so that Renaissance could fly. IV was the vocal best album until Renny. Black is King is a literal cultural masterpiece, I’m not being inflammatory either… And Renaissance is really just wild. A perfect body of work.

Renaissance is a perfect body of work. Well said! It’s masterful !

I love how the son was like i dont a lot of the songs, but proceeds to know every riff and run of every song! LOL welcome to the Hive!!

We definitely need more Beyoncé!! Lemonade Renaissance & Beyoncé (self titled) are her big 3, I need to see dads reaction to both renaissance & lemonade, but I also think he will really enjoy “4” & B Day because her vocals on those albums are outta this world

Also it gave me so much joy seeing you vibe to the music whilst dad is just trying to absorb everything, :)

Beyoncé can do it all, pop, rock, r&b, electronic, etc… she’s a legend🔥

Bday, BEYONCÉ and Renaissance are Beyoncé trilogy. You can notice they are all reminiscent of each other. You can see that on these 3 she had more freedom of creation, she did exactly what she wanted to do. Bday is so raw and fun, BEYONCÉ is so well produced and amazing all around and Renaissance is a mix of both

Damn, I don’t think I’ve ever read a better review weaving a thread between these 3 I will say, Plastic off the Sofa and Virgos Groove also take you back to dangerously in love a bit ❤

I think you should get into some Victoria Monet- Jaguar 1&2. The way I can see your dad vibing. Victoria’s music literally ‘bridges the gap’ lol. She does the old sound combined with today perfectly.

We need more more more We are addicted!❤ The amount of respect and thoughtfulness you and your dad showed is amazing.

Again XO is the best song. Whenever I get married I’ll have the DJ play that for my wife at our wedding reception.

I could watch y’all all day. I just love how you all make connections with producers and lyrics! Not enough people spend enough time doing that on reactions! I definitely see all the work you’re putting into it. Oh and no one gives Superpower it’s props enough. So glad to listen to people that know music.

i feel like he’ll like lemonade more

I love their reaction to Rocket. Specially the son. I felt the same. Laughing my a** off and mesmerized by the build up too.

Dad was loving “Drunk In Love” 😂😂

This is my absolute FAVORITE Beyoncé reaction video! Yes Papa your reactions were ❤❤❤ Please do her other albums!

You gotta do Beyoncés the gift. It might be more in your demographic it’s the album soundtrack for the lion king and inspired by the African continent with African artists. It’s also a ground breaking visual album short film shot in Africa

No Angels or Haunted is my favs, for the production alone. 10 years already, man that album gets me feeling nostalgic.

In the last song the last part with her daughter misspronoucing her name it just came as a full circle moment, as at the beggining of Haunted she is announced on stage by a competition presenter which also misspronounced her name. I just found this detail interesting😊

I was dying with y’all listening to Rocket 😂😂😂 Also during minute 57:12 when pops said during Flawless: “Yup, they shouldn’t have messed with her, who ever it is” 😂😂😂

And this album was released as a masterful visual album, with music videos accompanying each song.

I'm back to this reaction for a 2nd time. And it's crazy how the last 3 beyonce albums are all as incredible as each other

Part of the drum beat in partition at the beginning is actually Justin Timberlake with home Depot buckets duct taped to his shoes and he's stomping on the ground and the handles are making the clattering percussive sound

I think the only important piece of this that you missed is that she dropped 13 HIGH QUALITY music videos at the same time as the album. Thats what made the release so groundbreaking. Most artist barely shoot 3-4 videos per album and she shot an video for every track

Amazing reaction! If your dad is a Jay fan I recommend you react to everything is love! It's Beyoncé + Jay z's joint album. After he released 444 & her lemonade it was like the ending of their trilogy.

You two should review BDAY. Your dad would love the instrumentation on that album

This was also so huge because of the visuals. A music video for I think every song! 🔥🔥 which I think she also did on Lemonade if I’m not mistaken.

Queen Bey gets me every time !! I’m falling in love with this album again after 10 years !!!! ❤️

Yall need to watch the videos! ❤

I think this reaction would have been even better with the visuals. This I think was her first visual album. I think you all should do the visuals next.

She’s said she was embracing her sexuality and becoming a married woman. This was all after marrying her husband and he was the love interest in all the videos for the album.

great reaction. i really enjoy it. i hope you guys eventually react to Beyonce Renaissance album one day. I know Pops would love the production that album.

Yes!!, next yall should definitely react to her various live performances but album wise yall should do lemonade &' make sure you give him the back story.

You gotta do a Beyoncé series. Renaissance might get pops off his feet!

@Bridging the Gap My favorite song of this Album is Jealous a truly golden song followed by No Angel

Now we need Lemonade (her most musically diverse and experimental record often considered her Magnum Opus) or 4 (objectively her best vocal performance; traditional R&B record)

I love this and I appreciate yall putting respect on the Queens name. I think your dad would enjoy the velvet rope by Janet Jackson, it’s her most iconic album

Yall should listen The Carters and The Gift. Her rapping on those albums was insane, and a lot of people forget about those albums when those are honestly some of her best

Na this is crazy bro. Officially my favorite channel. Y’all have to do Renaissance and Everything I’d Love next.

Oh y’all should definitely react to her debut album

i also love your dad’s comment on “mine” re: listening albums. beyoncé said something very similar in an interview: “nobody makes albums anymore”. beyoncé’s self-titled was also a response to a musical era where it seemed most artists were just pushing out singles

XO I think you should listen to again. That's one of the best songs of the album. Sometimes one time listens don't give the song justice.

You should show your dad one of the dreams first albums and also "cranes in the sky" by beyonce's sister Solange

First off, u guys' connection &smiles are beautiful & infectious..I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction! Beyonce has always& forever will be my fav artist and performer And self-titled is my fav album🐝🐝🐝🐝 New here, not sure if y'all get into live performances on ur channel but they are masterful...literally like all of em! I think Dad will enjoy the Stevie Wonder & Prince tributes she's done! Pahlease react to those🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

DEFINITELY show your dad her Stevie Wonder tribute, SHE KILLED THAT PERFORMANCE ❤️👑🐝

I think it’s about time for the lemonade or renaissance reaction 👀

U should definitely listen to lemonade… it’s a lot deeper and kinda contrasts with this album, would love to hear ur dads opinions on it
