Not gon' lie - not BeyHive 🐝, but when it comes to Black music, sound, fashion, and visuals; there's not many who do it like Queen B !
Yonce got us 'back outsiiidde' with Break My Soul, an uptempo dance track, which samples Robin S' Show Me Love and features Big Freedia, a New Orleans Bounce Artist.
What many thought would be a single, turned out to be a surprise album! Literally.
Last week, Beyonce released RENAISSANCE, a Disco, Soul, House, and Funk inspired project paying homage to legendary musicians.
The album samples decades of Billboard hits from the 70's to 2000's and features a few modern-day acts as well.
Fans detected an album was coming when Bey's team removed photos from her Social Media avatars, but never guessed; RENAISSANCE merch would include an actual vinyl record!
Mrs. Carter ain't come to play!
Let's talks about RENAISSANCE.
Not the sassy lyrics, seamless transitions, secret Drake collab, or the Milkshake sample that had Kelis spazzing off Energy (although, we don't entirely disagree)....
Let's focus on the dance beats, nostalgic vibes, and iconic fashion sense incorporated in the album imagery.
The Dresses, Cat and Bodysuits set enough thirst traps to get you a COZY, Flight Booked to Bridle Path. 🛫

Bey's visuals feature looks from Mugler, Alaia, Schiappareli, Gucci, and more high fashion designers....
Loving the creative curations, but can we talk about this Gucci look for a sec'??

Beyonce slayed !!! And not just the dress - the whole production set!
I don't know where Miss Sasha Fierce took this photo, but the background reminds me of the lounges my Grandmother and Great Aunts used to work at in 1970's, Brooklyn, NY. Clubs like the Bamboo Lounge and the modern day Black Flamingo.
Heres' a photo from our Lewis/Jamison/Clark family album.
My Great Aunt Darlene, Grandmother Janet Johns, and Great Aunt Pauline II
From grooving to Cheryl Lynn, Ralph MacDonald, and Donna Summers, to thrusting wit' Prince and voguing with RuPaul, WE been outside! 😄
* Clears throat * getting back to the fashion, I watched the Gucci Love Parade live when the retro-inspired collection premiered, last November on Hollywood Boulevard's Walk of Fame, and immediately knew the girls were gonna eat it up.
Alessandro Michele, Gucci's Creative Director; gave CBS 60 Minutes an inside look at the inspirations for his designs, and RENAISSANCE fits right in!
A F--- it, it's Friday, era.... Careless, fun and free!
Beyonce wears custom Alaia Catsuit
Don't this fit look like the dress my Grandma flexed in above? ↑ 😉
My Top 6 records on the album are MOVE ft. Tems and Grace Jones, ALL UP IN YOUR MIND, SUMMER RENAISSANCE, ENERGY ft. Beam, BREAK MY SOUL, and ALIEN SUPERSTAR. ✰
Not necessarily in that order, but the ⏬ playlist'll get you up out your seat!
It's giving visions of Gucci Sunglasses and Versace Shades ....

Or the chic Dolce & Gabbanas, we found in Neiman Marcus!
We saw these JW Anderson Sandals in Neimans too, and nearly lost it....
