If I were going to write Beyonce a hand-written note critiquing her current project, Renaisssance', it would read as follows:
Dear Mrs. Carter:
We are living in crazy times. A struggle for many post the COVID pandemic. Those suffering with mental illness, trauma, and pain are those I wish to give a voice to. May their pain never go unnoticed. People are indeed hurting. Thank you for all you do philanthropically.
Renaissance?
It's brilliant. Just what the doctor ordered. I have listened to the body of work 5+ times. The way in which you layer your harmonies simply takes one's heart. It's beautiful, B. I love the project's retro 70's, 80's vibe. It gives jazz, funk, and disco- which by the way, will never be dead to this young lady. with a sprinkle of old hymn and spiritual. The correct balance. The perfect formula. You never fail to surprise fans with the order in which you lay out your tracks. I'm so in love with this project.
Favorite Track: Too many to choose!
Number of concerts I've attended: 1
(OTR I) Miami, FL
Opening Night
The 'love of my life" scats in faucetto on Virgo's Groove are done to perfection and 'hit you right in the gut! The love and passion comes to life on this track. Riffs that are so 80's like the R&B beloved Jones Girls and our sorely missed Whitney Houston.
Well, Queen, L'Chaim! Cheers! Skoal! Salute! You've done it again. Thank you, songstress, for sharing your gift of music.
Respectfully,
Alana <3
