The Beyoncé album Renaissance is hailed by critics as a “dance-floor hit.”

These sounds will be recognisable to anyone who has seen reruns of Top of the Pops from that era on BBC Four, he claimed.

Beyoncé expressed her appreciation for the public’s support by writing on the internet: “I appreciate you for calling out anyone that was trying to sneak into the club early.

It is quite important to me. I appreciate your steadfast help. I appreciate your patience.

The 16-song track list received a four-star rating from The Guardian, who called it “unapologetically escapist” and said the vocalist “unleashes everything from disco bangers to global house hedonism.”

“Beyoncé was never going to release a cheesy ‘live, laugh, love’ single, and her rebirth sees her in the role of siren pulling us to the disco, according to Tara Joshi,” she wrote.

It serves as a reminder of how uncommon it is to see this highly disciplined artist simply having fun on her own terms. It’s a celebration of living abundantly and outside the bounds of others’ expectations.

Joshi thinks that the album “falls short of being Beyoncé’s best full-length,” nonetheless.

Pitchfork’s Dylan Green claims it’s “the most unabashedly fun new Beyoncé record since 2006’s B-Day”.

He describes Beyoncé as “one of the only living musicians who can stop the world with new music” who has put out an album with a “staggering amount of talent in one place” – referring to collaborations with Grace Jones, Skrillex and Drake.

“Her chants of ‘the category is…’ and other language used within ball culture and queer communities also stand out in the music,” he wrote.

“Dance music of all stripes was built by queer artists, and that history hovers through.”

Renaissance is the first instalment of a three-album project recorded during the pandemic.

“Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world,” Beyoncé wrote on Instagram.

“It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving”.

Rolling Stone’s critic Mosi Reeves notes “every song is an uptempo track that has the potential to joyously redefine dance floors, living rooms, and car singalongs in 2022 and beyond”.

According to Will Hodgkinson in The Times, the superstar “appears to have discovered the sweaty, dirty world of club culture” for the first time, and “this album is about letting go and having a good time.”

Beyoncé has replaced overthinking with disco dancing, he remarked, adding that her vocals is as dynamic as it has ever been.

It doesn’t seem like a horrible method to cope with the anxiety-ridden age.
