Welcome back to PART 2 of our Beyoncé “Act 1: Renaissance” journey. In this episode, Angie and Steffi break down the era!

For the first 20 minutes of this episode, we read and play your voice messages regarding thoughts on Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” album. So a huge shout out and thank you to those of you who submitted your thoughts! We really appreciated and loved hearing from you.

In our Era Breakdown episodes, we touch on so many topics like career context, controversies/scandals of the era, marketing, music videos, live performances, album stats, and the album & era’s ultimate impact and legacy. For this episode, we breakdown and discuss all the drama that has ALREADY happened in the Renaissance era: the album leaking, removing an ableist term, KELIS!, Diane Warren’s shady comments, and…if Beyoncé is culturally appreciating or culturally appropriating from ball culture. We also share our hopes for the music videos, future live performances and debate on the titan diva rivalry of our time: Beyoncé or Adele for Album of the Year? We then end the episode giving our predictions for what Beyoncé has in store for Act 2 and Act 3.

Again, this is part 2 of the conversation! So make sure you listen to part 1 where we discussed the album track by track.

We hope you enjoyed our Beyoncé “Act 1: Renaissance” journey!
