Beyoncé Renaissance (Post) (Wb) (Sft)

4.5 stars out of 5 -- "What first strikes you about RENAISSANCE are its mellow atmospherics. Even some of the more uptempo cuts here showcase Bey's mesmeric refrains in a mellifluous, low-key register..."
"RENAISSANCE her seventh studio album, marks the sound of an artist refreshed: this is her most relentlessly upbeat and fun record yet, one where she explores love, friendship and relationships across 16 spellbinding tracks."
Paste (magazine) - "RENAISSANCE doesn't take itself too seriously, allowing the goddess herself to have a bit of fun and create infectious dance music."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Beyonc‚'s seventh album is not just a pop star's immaculate dance record, but a rich celebration of club music and its sweaty, emancipatory spirit."
Clash (Magazine) - "From the hedonism of Studio 54 disco, to the highs of Hacienda clubland and Detroit techno, Beyonc‚ puts her proverbial stamp on a ravey revivalist trip through era-defining dance."
