Decoding Beyonce's Renaissance Era: On July 29th 2022, Beyonce released her 7th solo studio album named “Renaissance”. While it had been announced since the month of June, fans and critics didn’t know what to expect from her new release. But Beyonce definitely surprised her listeners thanks to a body of work paying tribute to the history of dance music and drawing from a large variety of music genres. How could we make sense of this new era, and what does it mean for an artist such as Beyonce to be reborn? Let's decode Beyonce's Renaissance Era.

    Please do 2pac’s 1995 classic album me against the world because it’s own, removed from the hype, me against the world is just a very quality record that finds an artist coming into his own through the influence of his peers, both local and musical.

    I love this album. I love the carefree spirit and experimentation. It astounds me when people are expecting artists to stay and keep mimicking their former era of "successes" when being a true artists is all about experimenting, evolution and looking into the future, being a visionary. Beyonce is reclaiming another piece of black heritage in my opinion. This is OUR sh!t and there's nothing wrong with our favorites exposing their listeners to something new and opening that musical palette. I cant wait to see what the other projects have in store, Country maybe?

    I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s so inspiring! I heard there will be country music and I am definitely here for it! I loved when she performed on the CMT Awards. I’ve always loved various genres of music, so I enjoy when artists let go of the molds society created for them and experiment with new things. I’m open to this refreshing new vibe!

Something tells me that if she goes full throttle on a country album, they will have to pay attention. Times are changing, whether folks like it or not.

    You did such a beautiful job on this video! I absolutely love Renaissance Act I, mostly because it aligns with my goals for myself at this time in my life. I actually cry when listening to some of the songs. I know that may seem weird to some because the album is mostly about dancing and having a good time, but in some of those party songs I hear the antidote for some of the most trying times in my life. She captures how I feel now that I’m on the other side and this allows the most “ratchet” songs to become a spiritual experience of self love and gratitude for who I am today…. And it feels amazing to shake my ass to something like that! 😜 Thank you for this profound piece on an amazing body of work!✨

    Very interesting commentary. My perspective differs, however. To me, Beyoncé is not an artist who reveals herself through her music. She lets people in with little nuggets here and there, but mostly she’s fiercely private. The fact that she doesn’t do interviews is also telling of this. In my opinion, she holds back even more so with Renaissance by singing mostly in 3rd person. If singing in 1st, she often portrays characters. For example, in “break my soul,” when she talks about quitting her job and being worked so hard. She’s obviously trying to relate to us common folk because who’s bossing around Beyoncé - the supposed Queen almighty? Or is she not? There could be someone behind the scenes that is doing that, record label or a corporation maybe, but she would never disclose this because it would be too revealing.

    Yeah you’re onto something. Beyoncés not the type let us gather anything about her personal life🤣 And she doesn’t have to. I will say I was surprised that Renassiance is so surface. Especially after Lemonade was more personal (for her). But that’s also the fun in being a fan of her artistry - she’s always doing something new. And this is just the first of three parts!

    I think a part of it is some people not knowing how to deal with an album that wasn't made for them. The album being an ode to black LGBTQ & ballroom & having different fragments of those groups imbedded in it was hard for some people to get, like certain phrases she used & her commentating in heated's outro most ppl who knew what it was were excited over the references to artists of the genre & loved how deep she delved into the culture while a lot of people that didn't know were quick to make fun of it or question what she was doing . And some people wanted her to go back to her old sounds from her older albums rather than experiment.

    Hey❤️ I may not know you personally however I care about you deeply because I know how much you mean to Jesus Christ The King of ALL CREATION . I want to tell you that Jesus Christ loves you so much, he died for our sins so that whoever believes in him wouldn’t have to perish in hell but instead have eternal life in heaven. You need to understand that HEAVEN and HELL are 1000% REAL they aren’t imaginary , and hell is a horrible place I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. God doesn’t want you to end up there he wants you in heaven and so he is giving you a chance to accept the sacrifice of his son Jesus Christ and be saved. Day by Day the world is falling apart because we are literally living in the last days of Earth there is no doubt or debate about it, Jesus Christ is coming faster then you think to bring judgement to the world and to destroy it. This really is URGENT, it’s NOT A JOKE ,Tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone, you can be alive one minute and gone the next, please take this opportunity to be on the side of Mercy confess your sins and wicked ways to Jesus , sincerely REPENT/turn away from them, ask for his forgiveness, and be baptized at a real bible believing church- ask him to enter your heart and to be your Lord and Savior before it is too late , truly believe in him and he WILL do it because it is his promise. It’s important that you seek the righteous and Holy path of the Most high God so that you may inherit eternal life and be spared of Hell fire. You can begin a new life in Christ and have a genuine relationship with him, please repent. Jesus changed my life and he will change yours too🥰, He is coming NOW! not SOON- when you least expect it!, therefore repent and make sure you are prepared. May the Lord be with you eternally💕🙏🏾

    The album is…entertainment. The album is not genuine in the sense that if you study her as an artist, one of many perspectives you may arrive at is that she is not as transparent as you think…and certainly NOT on this album. The image she presents on stage and in her music is totally opposite of what actually does get revealed about her life in the press. No interviews? There’s a reason. Talking in the 2nd or 3 person on her songs? Disconnect. Again, there’s a reason. The messages in her songs ranging from being in control, how beautiful she is, etc., etc.? Again, it’s manufactured that way for a reason. Live long enough and you realize when you REALLY have it going on, there’s a quietness about you. No need to flex. At this point I’m almost convinced that behind the veil, there’s a woman that has more fear, insecurity, hurt, feeling of being trapped, lost and bewilderment than she’ll probably either never could reveal or admit.

    This is along the lines of my thoughts. For those who have actually grown up with Beyoncé know that she’s been on stage singing/performing since she was a very young child. There’s been interviews and little snippets along the way that have eluded to the fact that she had no control over her life especially during the formative years of her solo career and during destiny’s child. That elevator scene with her sister and husband was very telling to me.

To think that at her 25th year in the music industry and she is still able to produce a work like this and still sell like how she used to sell in her debut era is crazy. 190k PHYSICAL copies sold in first week, 350 Million streams across all music platforms, 115 MILION Spotify streams first week. She now occupies 4 of the top 5 best selling first week album sales by Black women. THIS is how you do a music career. THIS is longevity.

    @@Jasmine-mi6sh seems like you have some demons you're trying to fight off baby and you are taking it out on her. Beyoncé came out and said a long time ago that the song wasn't made for anyone but the ones who doubted her and the people that hated her guts for nothing. For the people that tried to bring her down because she was doing her thing and that she wanted to let them know she wasn't going anywhere any time soon and she wasn't lying. But this wouldn't be the first time she said she wasn't going anywhere. She said it back in DC in "Survivor" and my baby didn't lie. Too many people tried to slander her name, talents, etc when she does nothing. WOMEN taking shots at her too. And Kerli Hilson was one of them. She made a whole song (aka a diss) towards Ciara and Beyoncé. She told Beyoncé that she needed to go and sit down and have some children which Beyoncé would kind of respond to in Run The World. People take shots at this woman every day because they know she won't say anything but when she does I'm happy. She's a human being and people need to know their place.

    If you think about it, she rides the wave of pop culture for every release and tries to relate to the middle and lower classes.That's what she does. She capitalizes off of the social issues; even though some of the things she says might not have anything to do with her. That is why in "Who run the world" she talks about hardworking women, while in "Break my soul" She talks about quitting her job. She sees the social changes every year and incorporate those messages in her songs and will try to relate. Not saying no one else does it, but it's nothing new.

    Please stop. She doesn’t “ride the wave” most of her work is about her personal experiences and perspectives as a black woman, for one thing, including being a hardworking woman. Second, reflecting the times and making music that speaks to her fans is not “riding a wave”, it’s creating a safe space for them, which is exactly what she said she wanted to do.

    what gets me about Beyonce's haters is the misogynoir of it!! Instead of she's a hard worker, she's a try-hard, Instead of confident and knowing her worth, she's full of herself. Instead of accomplished, she sold her soul to the devil for success. Like a woman of color isn't capable of success and excellence in her own right. Not liking an artist is understandable, no one will ever appeal to everyone but try to tarnish someone because you don't "like" them is insane.

She was also mocked by the black community as well as the mainstream white media for her drug addiction too. Those shit were very hurtful to her. Just bc someone dies does NOT mean that we can erase their History. So stop using Whitney as an example when she wasn't treated better by thé black community or the mainstream media as Beyoncé either when it comes to misogynoir. And the real Queen ?

I cannot say, that I ever heard that in her music, but if it were there, it most certainly was NOT on her album "BEYONCÉ", especially not the track "Partition". That song is all about sex, fighting the misconception that feminists don't love having sex [with a man]. It was after her giving birth to Blue Ivy and feeling like a sexy woman again. It's pure passion and pleasure for both (her and Jay 🙂)!

    Renaissance not only lives in the undercelebrated and undercredit space between queerness and blackness, it thrives there. It feels like an ode to being alive. To surviving. The pandemic, the peaks in hate crimes, the economic crisis, but also past tough points in history. Me too, the 2008 stock market crash, 9/11, Columbine, the aids crisis, Vietnam, need I continue? Renaissance wouldn't be such a breath of fresh air had we not lived through all of these things. Don't get me wrong, it would still be great, but it would not be so truly refreshing. There's a reason why everyone's describing not being able to listen to anything else. There are albums like Renaissance, but many of those albums to have come out post pandemic focus on a single aspect of what was lost in early 2020. Those albums are a taste, but Renaissance is being able to catch your breath before needing to dunk your head underwater once more. Sorry, I'm done gushing about this album, hope someone liked my hyperfixation era.

    As much as I am gay, I have to share my dislike towards this album. It has no purposeful meaning for me, as most of it is dark and senseless. I've disliked Beyonce's music since after 4. Yes, every artist needs to stay current, but that is the problem with music as of late. It becomes so futuristic that it loses meaning, purpose. When I listen to music, I want to get meaning and purpose from it, not just 'feel good' because of its beat. That is what I miss about music.

Even her best songs from 4 and before (which are my favorites) are rnb pop tracks that get you up and dancing or rnb ballads that don’t really say anything about her love. Lemonade being the exception. I mean she’s definitely keeping up with current trends with Renaissance but imo she’s always been a feel good artist.
