It’s an intensely purposeful formula, and to get it just right, Beyoncé elected a board of “superheroes,” as Leven Kali — one of the many young contributors on the project — describes them to Variety.Indeed, the credits for “Renaissance” are impressive, with producers the Neptunes, Mike Dean, The-Dream, Skrillex, A.

Beyoncé‘s ‘RENAISSANCE‘ single ‘Thique’ was originally put together back in 2014.The guest-heavy 16 track album was released last month and featured the likes of AG Cook, Skrillex, Giorgio Moroder, Grace Jones, Tems and Jay-Z.Now, Hit-Boy has told a Rolling Stone podcast, how Beyoncé stashed away their collaboration for eight years.“I had to sit on that beat for eight years!” he said. “That’s the way the game goes sometimes.

Renaissance (★★★★☆), an album that, at its core, captures the physicality of the dancefloor and everything that goes along with it.Its story should sound familiar by now: amid the uncertainty of a global pandemic and the claustrophobia of quarantines and lockdowns, an artist longs for the freedom, expression, and human connection of the club and puts out an album inspired by dance music.Although the COVID dance album has become something of a meta-genre at this point, Beyoncé’s take on it is, unsurprisingly, a standout.Renaissance is undeniably a fun dancefloor fantasy, but it works as well as it does because it is made from a place of intimate familiarity with its genre.
