RENAISSANCE: Beyoncé’s Celebration of Queer Black Excellence

Last week’s episode was called Six Songs for Summer but with this album, I think I should replace it with these Sixteen Songs for Summer. On her latest seventh studio album ‘RENAISSANCE’, Beyoncé weaves a rich tapestry that celebrates queerness and blackness, collaborating and sampling from some of the most exciting underground artists of colour, including trans icons Honey Dijon, T.S. Madison and Big Freedia. The album is an ode to disco, dance and to the ballroom scene, with Beyoncé playing the role of emcee. Category: Queers in the Club.
