Renaissance (★★★★☆), an album that, at its core, captures the physicality of the dancefloor and everything that goes along with it.Its story should sound familiar by now: amid the uncertainty of a global pandemic and the claustrophobia of quarantines and lockdowns, an artist longs for the freedom, expression, and human connection of the club and puts out an album inspired by dance music.Although the COVID dance album has become something of a meta-genre at this point, Beyoncé’s take on it is, unsurprisingly, a standout.Renaissance is undeniably a fun dancefloor fantasy, but it works as well as it does because it is made from a place of intimate familiarity with its genre.

Ethan Shanfeld Beyoncé’s critically acclaimed “Renaissance” album has only been out a week, but the pop titan is already gifting fans with more to dance to.On Wednesday, the singer released an EP of “Break My Soul” remixes by Will.I.Am, Terry Hunter, Honey Dijon and Nita Aviance.

King Crimson‘s  Robert Fripp and wife Toyah Willcox are back with another instalment of Sunday Lunch, serving up a cover of Lenny Kravitz‘s ‘Are You Gonna Go My Way’.Willcox, dressed in a slinky maid outfit, spends the song flipping tortillas in a frying pan, while a full-throttle wind machine blows her hair and clothes around. Fripp, meanwhile, plays his way through the track on a cherry-red guitar, hair spiked to a triangle on top of his head.

The seventh studio album from Beyoncé, one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year, arrives today. "Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world," Beyoncé said in her album announcement.

In this way, it’s even more like her answer to Madonna’s “Erotica” than her surprise self-titled set was in 2013.After Beyoncé clears her throat with the eerie electro-soul of opener “I’m That Chick” — and, um, of course, she is! — the album really kicks into full effect with “Cozy,” on which the empowering lyrics of Destiny’s Child hits such as “Independent Women Pt.
