RENAISSANCE
Beyoncé is back with some bops today. Obviously, I’ve spent a decent amount of time these past few weeks listening to BREAK MY SOUL (honestly a top-notch workout song), and I’m happy to report that the rest of Bey’s new album RENAISSANCE has similar dance tunes that you can’t help but move your body to. The album is dedicated to her Uncle Johnny, who she describes as her “godmother and first person to expose me to a lot of the music and culture that serve as inspiration for this album.” It also sees Beyoncé returning to rap on songs COZY and CHURCH GIRL. I think my favorites (as of now) are the vibey CUFF IT and ALIEN SUPERSTAR. So on the off chance that you haven’t listened yet, go into the weekend knowing that you have my wholehearted recommendation to do so.
