Thoughts on Beyoncé's "Renaissance" (5 months later)?

[No Seas Cortes]

It ended up being one of my favorite 2022 albums, it definitely grew on me  

[HisNameisChase]

I still don't understand why she hasn't dropped the visuals.

I think the album is bareoy OK (TikTok popularized a lot of the songs) but the album won't stand on its own.

I feel like it's a Pintrest of ideas and has no cohesion. A lot of repetitive lyricism, too.

7/10

Where are the visuals!? If this rollout was another artist like Katy Perry or Ed Sherren we would be making fun of it or saying it’s a mess! but somehow we can’t have that energy towards B or to a certain point Adele!

Listened to it twice and it's not my cup of tea at all.

[mhally]

There are a few bobs but on a whole not the biggest of my jams. Still pops and I think it's one of the more memorable releases this year. However, that could also be because it's Beyoncé and this was a very much anticipated album... We'll see if it stands the test of time

my fave album by her 

i really like disco, house, & dance music so the album’s really 4 me 🤭

virgo’s groove, summer renaissance, & cuff it r my faves 😍

& i wouldn’t mind that there’s no visuals, most beyonce albums have them but i wouldn’t care 

the only thing is why tease the visuals if u won’t release them

Album of the year for me. I’m currently loving me some Virgo’s Groove. 
 

Trust me, no one justifies the lack of visuals. The hive is pissed af and some lunatics have started justifying it by saying she controls the medium and that she wants us to enjoy the music bla bla. 
 

i must say that her last sentence of the message she left when she dropped the album is that we will enjoy the music for a while… It was recently revealed that there was some mess going on behind the scenes and they’re most likely planning to release the visuals and tour dates before/at Grammy’s since she’s the most nominated as that will help her attract people’s attention and especially if she wins Album of the year. Basically a marketing ploy. It’s good to see that it succeeded so much without any promo and visuals but it’s still a bummer that we didn’t get anything. Oh well… onto 2023

[jordeezy river red]

My 2nd fav album by her. My fav is still Bday original tracklist. 

[ThatWasFun]

Love it. But where are the visuals...?!

It’s definitely one of the best albums of the year. The production is fire. 

I don’t love all of it, but I can still appreciate its brilliance.

Funnily, the album has become even more iconic now that Ireland’s Prime Minister was recently videoed sucking the face off a younger guy in a Dublin bar, while Pure/Honey plays casually in the background 

The impact!

 

[electricopop]

One of my fave albums of hers and 2022!

I understand with the lack of visuals somehow kinda put the whole experience a bit off but hey, last time during the disco 70s era not a lot of artists do music videos.

She could have at least treat us with some kind of live performances but we all know she's keeping it for the world tour.

the amount of taste 

[Simon Cowell]

Horrible. She was better in Destiny’s Child 

[Pacho Munoz]

 She’s overrated. I rather have Sasha fierce back. 

[MIKE_INT]

Rennai ... WHAT?

 

[jalpha]

 It’s cute, but it feels like she watched a couple episodes of Legendary and decided to make an album.

5/10

It just doesn’t FEEL like a Beyoncé album. Something’s missing. 

[Buffie]

i dont listen music from ugly people
