Spotlight Video of the Week: Beyonce’s “Renaissance” Is Out!
After “Renaissance” leaked – but before it dropped last night – Beyoncé released a statement about it on her website.
Mrs. Carter explained that today’s album was one of a three-part project that she recorded during the pandemic, which inspired her creativity. “Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world. It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving,” she noted. “My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking.”
Bey also thanked everyone in her life – including her kids, Blue, Rumi, and Sir, her husband and muse, Jay-Z, and her godmother Uncle Johnny. She finished it with a special thanks to her fans – “I hope you find joy in this music. I hope it inspires you to release the wiggle. Ha! And to feel as unique, strong, and sexy as you are.”
