Renaissance

Released

“You know all these songs sound good.” This album senses its own boundaries (none) and knows its fullness (beyond the brim). Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, hyperpopular avant-garde bounce singer, created a mixtape of visceral dream meat in concert with about a hundred collaborators. It is a moon shot in the dryer, a five course meal in a paper bag covered with quick dry gel, and a disco wedding in the back seat of an uprising. Have you ever had fun?
