On her new album, Renaissance, Beyoncé celebrates club culture and the lure of life.
When nothing reigns, the longing for everything that makes up existence grows. This is how the US artist Beyoncé recorded her new album while the pandemic was at a standstill: “Renaissance”, 16 songs full of thirst for life.
It often sounds proud, powerful, dominant and dark. But the next moment Beyoncé breathes an oath of love into the microphone and she seems seductive and vulnerable. This joy of experimentation is not only evident in her voice, but also in the different genres that characterize the album: from dance music, house, pop, gospel, funk to R’n’B, everything is included.
Hymn-like self-invocation
