Bey is BACK and here are 16 reactions to her seventh album, Renaissance

I’m sleeping real BAD at night because I stayed up for the release

2 years ago

Happy Renaissance day, to those who celebrate. Truly, this is my version of Christmas Day. I stayed up all night to listen to Beyoncé’s new album and read the reactions and, I have to say, they didn’t disappoint.

From Cuff It (you’ll be hearing so much more about that from me) to Pure/Honey, there wasn’t a single bad track on the entire body of work. Also, it was FILLED with lyrics like “them Karens just turned into terrorists” which is so incredibly bold, I’m obsessed.

So if, like me, you’re keen to know what everyone else thought about the holy grail that is Renaissance, here are 16 of the best reactions:

1. B’Day, Beyoncé and Lemonade have some explaining to do

4. Truly she can do no wrong

She’s done it again. Off the first listen, it’s a beautiful buzz in the ear— it’s joyous, it’s sexy, it’s grown. I loved every second. My instant replays are Cozy, Cuff It, Break My Soul, Church Girl, Thique, and Pure/Honey. #renaissance

8. Lol when everyone thought America was going to be the skip-track

This woman really said “America Has A Problem…it’s not student loan debt, it’s that I’m too bad of a bitch and the kids can’t handle it.”

I love her so much. #AmericaHasAProblem #RENAISSANCE pic.twitter.com/S5Gge5NeJh

9. ‘Release your anger’ – Big Freedia, track six

I’m not arguing with NO bish regarding Renaissance. If you wanna be angry Beyoncé still out here dominating & your fave isn’t. That is NOT my problem or concern – Stay in yo struggle. I’ll be celebrating the greatness of the Queen of Music this Friday. pic.twitter.com/2TTRBYr0sZ
