It’s a s*** list

When doors could finally be cracked upon, Renaissance was the conductor that compelled us to hit “play’ and perform a collective post-pandemic swag surf. Gathering the genres that make Black nightlife sweaty, sticky, and exuberant—Chicago house, disco by way of Donna Summer and Nile Rodgers, New Orleans bounce, R&B remixed with New Jack Swing and hip-hop—Beyoncé’s seventh album dragged listeners out of stasis and into an ecstatic, glitter-filled revelry that many are still dusting off their shoulders whenever they reminisce about the tour experience that doled out bliss in generous amounts. With collaborators like Raphael Saadiq, Pharrell Williams, and Honey Dijon, the record—more than ushering people to the dance floor—revealed the breadth of community needed to create any song that opens up the blinds and lets the light in.
Each person is owed and on this album, all were named, including the Clark Sisters, a pioneering gospel group whose song “Center Thy Will” was sampled on “Church Girl,” where the sacred and sinful is positioned both in the club and beneath the steeple. In both places people come for release and leave cleansed anew. After crafting Lemonade, an album widely accepted as her magnum opus, it’s astounding that Beyoncé found a way to not only vocally surpass her best work, but simultaneously expand the ways her entire discography is a***yzed and understood. By making herself a historian, she forced us all to be students. All while still rocking a groovy two-step.
