RENAISSANCE got my nipples hard... tmi? soz ~ Beyoncé Reaction ~

[@randywalker7840]

Beyoncé definitely represented for the black lgbtq community on this album with several black lgbtq artist and creators on the album.

[@pareeshaslaughter6798]

I've heard of black ballroom dancing, but then I really looked into it and BLEW MY MIND‼️🤟🏿🔥

[@jinkkxx]

@i gotsa know! pure/honey incorporated a lot of vogue beats which is apart of the ballroom scene (which originates from the black lgbt community)

[@jvnoirlondon]

​@i gotsa know! The album consists of two predominant sounds, the first being house which originated in the black community of Chicago in the 80s, and the second, vogue/ballroom beats which originated in the ballroom scene of New York where queer poc gathered at functions that celebrated the LGBTQ+ community

[@dmg.2443]

@i gotsa know! Gay Ball culture. Look it up.

[@seoulku]

The way everyone’s brain shortwired listening to this project lmao Truly iconic. I’m guessing the next act will be country based and I’m ready to RIDE

[@BradEvans21]

omg i’d love for a country vibe

[@bananaguard454]

@boat is it confirmed, though? It could be different things for act 2 and 3. Maybe a tour and something else instead of new albums? I was expecting two more albums too, but I've seen someone talking about those acts being different things to complement the album itself and it got me thinking.

[@livelifeonline4634]

act ii 3.29!!!

[@gauthamkrishna623]

All Up in Your Mind is in fact produced with the help of A G Cook, who is the producer of Miss Charli XCX. Definitely a standout in this beautiful Album. She said let the girls, gays and the theys have fun!

[@nilslog6623]

Omg I knew it was one of my favs for a reason

[@BradEvans21]

YASSSSS! i looked while editing and i saw that and it makes so much more senseeee

[@AJCub92]

32:50 “I feel love” by Donna Summer is where the sample comes from. One of the best disco songs ever. fun fact this is the second time she’s sampled Donna Summer, first time it was in Naughty Girl with her disco song “Love to Love You Baby”

[@jacobmccain8794]

“Plastic off the sofa” is my absolute favorite! Vocals DOWN! So many intricate vocalisms. Then the runs. SHEESH. She didn’t have to come for all the artists in the Industry so hard like this! A monster vocalist! “Virgo’s Groove is also another where she just completely shows off that she’s not just “that girl,” but THE vocalist!

[@bperez8656]

Virgo’s Groove is the center piece of the album for sure! The more you realize how it cements itself as a calming force for 6 minutes surrounded by hype music on both sides

[@saphire2214]

It’s super GAY! And we straights who know good music are here for it!❤️✨🙌🏾

I LOVE the way songs transition through another, I'm such a nerd for it, its the main reason I listen to artists like Pink Floyd. I love when musicians make a cohesive album. Beyonce said herself that artists don't release albums anymore, just singles. You can tell this is an entirely cohesive album, ugh I love it.

[@bluboy4ver2]

Church Girl is a bounce song which is a specific genre of dance music from Louisiana, specifically New Orleans. Beyoncé’s mom is from Louisiana so she grew up listening to Bounce and several of her songs are inspired by it. Big Freedia is basically the Queen of Bounce that’s why Bey loves putting her on her tracks.

[@jjh2456]

Yep. Formation is another bounce song.

[@theyoshow]

This album is a tribute to her late uncle who was part of the LGBTQ community. ❤️

[@m.c.a.2699]

Aww whattttt 🥲 bless him then

[@ronaldronz4599]

RIP Uncle Johnny

[@liteflightify]

I had very mixed feelings with the first listen of this album. After just several days, it’s already in contention for my favorite Beyoncé album. I wasn’t sure about getting a vogue, house, disco, funk, dancehall album from Beyoncé. But it managed to sound risky, fun, fresh and unified.

[@kalmanta1824]

That’s what you get when the artist has a VISION, learns the history and gets the people involved that lived the culture. What a wonderful record.

[@liteflightify]

@@kalmanta1824 I mean, I know Beyoncé wasn’t gonna put out a trash album. But she’s never done anything this risky, messy and undermining expectations.

[@IonXCVII]

@@liteflightify I totally understand what you mean :) Love that it came around for you 👋

[@kalmanta1824]

@@liteflightify Lemonade had its fair share of risks. She jumped from Reggae to Rock, Country and Chillwave on one album. It was a major disparture for her, and it payed off immensely.

[@liteflightify]

@@kalmanta1824 Even within its risks, it’s was extremely streamlined and overtly calculatedly. While most of the songs still fit pop conventions. It was also a “serious album”. So, risk-taking is more expected.

[@tarenhempstead559]

Your reaction was everything! You got it in a way that other reactors seemed not to have with the house and ballroom references. This project is such a love letter to black queer art and expression. Just a few notes; Church girl is for the girls in the south who spend all night at the club Saturday night, and then come to church on Sunday to catch the spirit lol. It reminded me of my cousins from Arkansas, and a lot of black queer music has roots in gospel music so I thought it fit even though everyone might not get it. Also, I think I have another theory about why she chose to name this project renaissance. I think it is a nod to the Harlem renaissance which was an outburst of black queer art, music and literature in the 1920's. I think she is saying that is what we are in right now in 2022, and what she wanted to highlight with this project.

[@stephengeorge7930]

beyonce said this is for my uncle johnny, the gays that came before him, the gays now and the gays yet to come.
