What I enjoy most about this album is the joy you spoke about. A lot of Beyoncé’s previous albums dealt with a lot of heartbreak and infidelity. This project feels liberating.
(My opinion) This album is her best album. The timing is perfect and this makes the album all the more enjoyable. Especially in a time where microwave pop music is dominating, it feels like we needed this body of work. Finally something with structure and cohesiveness. I hope record labels reconsider how music is being manufactured by using this album as a template.
@@RedRypster I've avoided this question for weeks because this is very difficult for me 😄... It actually changes every week but "Virgo's groove" and "Summer Renaissance" got me in a chokehold 😭 ❤
I’ve been having this album on loop for a month!! I just can’t stop listening to it! Did she cast a spell in this album! 🤣😂😂 This is her best album period!!
Ranking my Beyonce's albums and why: 1. Renaissance - the production is heaven. It's an eclectic and experimental work of house, pop, dance, disco, R&B, synth-pop, Miami bass, hip hop, and hyperpop and her vocals is soaring. The song's also transitioned with each other like it's a DJ set. And speaking of DJ, it plays tribute to queer black people and black DJs who pioneer house music. 2. Lemonade- the diverse genres of art pop, R&B, country, hip hop, rock and blues work so well. And she tackles infidelity, abandonment, healing and social injustice that black people experience. 3. BEYONCÉ - this is the album where I started to appreciate alternative R&B music. And all those visuals she released on music videos such as "Drunk in Love", "Blow", "Partition " and "Flawless". 4. 4- get it? Hahaha. 4 is my favorite because it's a mixture of jazz, R&B, rock and disco. Her vocals are really showing here such as in "1+1", "I Care", "Best Thing I Never Had", "Love on Top" and "I Was Here". And this is where she became independent and not to follow any trends. 5. I Am... Sasha Fierce- it's a mixture of pop and R&B music. There's also a bit of soft rock influences in it. This is her peak era where I like the songs "If I Were A Boy", "Single Ladies", "Sweet Dreams", "Diva", and "Ego" and appreciated underrated tracks such as "Broken Hearted Girl", "Radio" and "That's Why You're Beautiful". 6. B'Day- this is her second album and she did not disappoint. It's a bop, like all songs can be a single. I especially like "Irreplaceable", "Deja Vu", "Ring the Alarm" and "Beautiful Liar". 7. Dangerously in Love - this is her introduction where she made a name for herself. "Crazy in Love", "Baby Boy", "Me, Myself and I", and "Naughty Girl" are iconic
Thanks for the elaborate comment! In other words, each album Beyoncé releases is better than the previous for you. That’s a testament to her growth. Btw, are you a writer? Seems so from how detailed your reasonings are.
@@musermusings thanks for the compliment. No I'm just a fan and I do my research hehehe 😅. I love listening to Queen B's songs and albums, because they're so empowering🐝 Edit: and yes every new Beyonce releases is better than the previous one!!! For me I feel like she likes to tops what her previous achievements. She doesn't stay the same lane
What a thoughtful take on such a notable piece of work from the Queen! I was definitely hesitant, as a long-time Beyoncé fan, how this would compare to her previous work. She's such a versatile artist and her adaptability (while infusing her own originality) is impeccable.
I have stan Beyoncé since I was a boy in the early 2000's now I'm an adult gay man and I can say that I was waiting for an album like renaissance from my queen, and I feel soo happy all the waiting was worth it :)
Love this video! You did a fantastic job on this...I'm sure you know that. I do think it's her best...for all of the reasons you mentioned in the video...to me, all of her albums are my favorite. Beyoncé has been my favorite since Bills, Bills, Bills...I knew she was going to be the best back then when I was only 10 years old lol. Keep up the great work 👏🥰🔥💥💯 looking forward to more of your content
Thanks Joey! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Bills Bills Bills was also the first song that introduced me to Beyoncé. I was six years old then. Looking forward to hearing from you again.
While I listen to her album 24/7. It’s like crack to me but I feel like there HAS to be a different album bcus of the lyricism. Like yes ik the meaning, her uncle, and the entire concept but it still feels wrong that lemonade or even bday can’t be #1.
Happy birthday 41st to Beyoncé! Even though I think B'Day is her best album to date I appreciate she continues to challenge herself artistry and her fans.. This was another good breakdown.
"but amateur singers also find singing [to plastic off the sofa] worth while, no matter how bad they sound" 😂 spot on! that is ME. can't sing worth a dime but Vigo's Groove and Church Girl get me feeling like I'm THE Beyonce every single time
I'm a big Beyonce fan and it's definitely one of her best albums, in my opinion. This album has been on repeat since it came out and I'm not tired of it yet🥺 I still get as excited as I was when I first heard the album. Low-key has a little bit of crack in it 😂😂😭
This is my personal favorite album of Beyonce's, along with B'day. Beyonce and Lemonade are cool albums conceptually and artistically, but the songs themselves are a hit or miss IMO. What I love about the renaissance is the cohesiveness of it all, it doesn't need a bunch of interludes or long/heartfelt intros in order to try and tie the songs together into one body of work, it does it on its own, the sound and mood of the album flow so effortlessly it's almost like your traveling through a river. The production is gorgeous, the writing is sharp and playful, and Beyoncé's voice commands attention and rides the beat throughout the entire album. I like B'day for similar reasons, the energy is consistent throughout the album, it's short and sweet but every song is of good quality, not to mention Bey's vocals are on point and Deja Vu is a killer album opener.
You’re so right about all of the points. It’s also so much more varied in terms of subject matter than Lemonade. That whole album dealt with infidelity and tbh with you, that topic is explored so often in music.
You are one of the very few on TH-cam that actually got "Church Girl" right. Most just bash the song without actually listening to it. Can't wait until she reveals the visual to show so many "critics".
Exactly. The problem is that people are not actually receptive to the actual content/lyrics. Instead, they are being willfully obtuse and appalled because Beyoncé simply says to “drop it like a THOTTY”. But then again, are we surprised that so many people are simple minded?
I just can't stop listening to it like seriously. I've already listened to it way more than the lemonade album. I loved 30 so on. But Beyonce is seriously gonna be robbed if she doesn't win album of the year for Grammys next year.
Sonically,Vocally,and maybe even Creatively;Renaissance is her best album;HOWEVER I AM…Sasha Fierce will always hold a very special place in my heart 🥹❤!!
@@musermusings I Am……Sasha Fierce isn’t my favorite album by Beyonće 💿 because of the songs or even the worldwide success that Beyonce received from it as that album did catapult Beyoncé to the mainstream ✨SUPERSTAR✨ that she is today ! This is my favorite Beyoncé album because (to me ) it signifies a battle within,and coming towards a common ground between the different “sides” of yourself as a person. Sometimes you may want to be “soft and vulnerable” while other times you may want to be “A BAD BITCH or Diva”! In a way this album 💿 humanizes Beyoncé as she was able to show a different side to herself BEYOND her stage Persona !
@@musermusings I fell in love with summer renaissance straight away. Heated, Pure/Honey, Plastic off tha sofa, church girl, I’m that girl. Such a great album
Yessss yessss B !! THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️LEMONADE IS FOR ME STILL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥by the way your video is 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯PURE/HONEY IS JUT LORD❤️❤️ENERGY!!!! SUMMER RENAISSANCE ❤️❤️❤️❤️she give me body, voice, culture,talent !!! A real QUALITY !!!yesss P.s MOVEwithGrace❤️❤️❤️
Lemonade is undeniably brilliant. Personally, I enjoy Renaissance more and find myself playing it much more than I did Lemonade. I believe it covers more ground than the cliché infidelity story.
Black is King is a great body of work but many of the songs don’t even include Beyoncé on them so I guess it would be unfair to say it’s HER body of work.
Beyoncé legit embodied the emotion of the concept of the album. Scratch that, she embodied the emotion of the genre of R&B. . . The Rhythm & Blues of somebody fighting against being “burned out” after managing the balance between God, money and Love. The same way actors have the term “method acting” so does singers, she was like “method singing”. Listening to virgos groove for example sounds sad but it’s upbeat, so it’s easy being distracted on the bluesy element of R&B. To add, if you’re somebody you thrives off of silenced gossip, especially following after both Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s dramatic albums of Lemonade and 444, you wonder if those had anything to do with the performance on this album to flow so effortlessly in authenticity.
NO.non nein .if by "best" u mean worst and if by "renaissance" u mean "enterrement" that would be a yes. And before thia album i ised to enjoy her music.karma is real

One of my fav things about this album as well!
Yesss yessss totally agree!!!preach!!!❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯🔥🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
beautifully put, this album must have crack in it bcus I can’t stop listening
Same here, every time I tell myself I need to take a break, I fall back into the rabbit hole.
(My opinion) This album is her best album. The timing is perfect and this makes the album all the more enjoyable. Especially in a time where microwave pop music is dominating, it feels like we needed this body of work. Finally something with structure and cohesiveness.

Exactly! Great point. Beyoncé is trying to set a precedent for all other popular artists to strive towards.
this is sooo trueeee
@@zawadicarroll lol. I'm a super fan. I listened to her entire discography. My faves are IASF and renaissance

The album of Lemonade had nothing to do with social justice issues Black People face. The visuals touch on it a bit. The album was about infidelity.
can't wait for the music videos to drop, i know they bout to be fyeee.
Same here, I wonder when they’ll come out. Hopefully soon…
@@musermusings oop
1. B Day
2. Lemonade
3. Renaissance

5. Four

7. Beyoncé
This is an interesting list, tell us why you chose B’Day as your fave.
Always nice to see how other fans rank her albums. This list is very different from my own.
@@MrFrankCandid because it’s banger after banger after banger no skips every single song could be a single
The delusion. 💀💀💀
I like it, but I've always just loved self-titled
The self-titled album is great!

@MUSER Wow, hard to find another person that was introduced at the same time, and I will be watching your videos, I subscribed

So where would you rank Renaissance?
Hahaha, there is def some crack in the music.
B Day? 😂
Yeah for me she did everything possible at all cost and perfectly fulfils
Beyonce take my kiss double
What’s your favorite songs?
@@musermusings yeah the best thing I never had (Beyonce) shorts
I’ve had it on repeat since it came out. It’s the culmination of all of her past albums.
It’s hard to let any other music play, it has us in a chokehold.
me too
Happy birthday 41st to Beyoncé! Even though I think B'Day is her best album to date I appreciate she continues to challenge herself artistry and her fans.. This was another good breakdown.
Thanks Clarissa! You are a real one!
"but amateur singers also find singing [to plastic off the sofa] worth while, no matter how bad they sound" 😂 spot on! that is ME. can't sing worth a dime but Vigo's Groove and Church Girl get me feeling like I'm THE Beyonce every single time
I’m right there with you! 😜 “Boy I know you can’t help but to be yourself round me” 🎶
Loved this - I love how professional your breakdowns on various subjects are. I would love for you to do one on Dua Lipa, Halsey or Madison Beer.
Thanks! I appreciate that. I will def take those topics into future consideration. My next video will be on Rihanna. Stay tuned!
I'm a big Beyonce fan and it's definitely one of her best albums, in my opinion.

She doesn’t need no promo!

She should def win Album of the Year. She deserves it finally.
Tee Noir did an analysis on Church Girl for those misunderstanding it! ❤️
I’ll check it out
Came here to say this
1. Renaissance
2. Lemonade
3. BEYONCÉ
4. 4
5. B'Day
6. Dangerously in Love
7. I Am... Sasha Fierce
I would agree with this list but swap the B’Day and Dangerously in Love
That’s a solid list

Lemonade is her masterpiece IMHO. But I don’t really care fire club music, so
Lemonade is undeniably brilliant. Personally, I enjoy Renaissance more and find myself playing it much more than I did Lemonade. I believe it covers more ground than the cliché infidelity story.
In my controversial opinion black is king is her best body of work as an artist because it tapped into a very sacred place inside her
Black is King is a great body of work but many of the songs don’t even include Beyoncé on them so I guess it would be unfair to say it’s HER body of work.
