But even in the absence of a direct tribute to any Texas artists or styles, Renaissance remains grounded in a broader Southern cultural and creative lineage, wherein Beyoncé pulls from a handful of distinct communities and in turn makes something whole and singular, offering a unified vision for what Black joy and freedom feels like-especially on the dance floor. Though not necessarily regarded as a dance-music hot spot, Texas boasts a rich and dynamic history of house and electro, and Beyoncé is likely familiar with this legacy. Given how proudly Beyoncé reps her Southern heritage, and how intentionally she’s woven her Creole and “Texas bama” roots into her music, you’d expect Renaissance to also pay tribute to Texas’s club and house scenes. She tries her hand at Afrobeats, Miami bass, and New Orleans bounce-styles and subgenres that together work to celebrate the totality of dance music across the Black diaspora. Throughout the record she threads variants of dance music to make one of the most invigorating pop albums of the year.
She loves finding new sandboxes to play in, then turning those sandboxes into skyscrapers.īeyoncé’s seventh studio album, Renaissance, marks another paradigm shift. Over the past decade she’s collaborated with artists such as Jack White, James Blake, and Frank Ocean while experimenting with styles as disparate as Jamaican dance hall, New Orleans jazz, and new-wave R&B. These albums took huge risks-personally and artistically-and established Beyoncé as pop’s most influential post-genre tastemaker. The radicalism of her latest solo albums, Beyoncé and Lemonade, elevated her from pop superstar to generational icon, from chart-topping vocalist to critically lauded auteur. With each release, she reoriented the boundaries of commercially viable music. Her early solo stuff sashayed from funk-forward soul to arena-ready Top 40 bait to eighties-styled synth-pop. As part of Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé shifted the sound of Y2K pop with empowerment-themed, futuristic R&B. In its wake, it has disrupted the trajectory of pop music.
Since she emerged from Houston onto the national stage as a sixteen-year-old phenom, her work has continually metamorphosed to meet the cultural and sociopolitical moment.
