Like all responsible members of humanity, I’ve had the latest Beyoncé album ‘Renaissance’ on repeat this entire week. This is the summer soundtrack we’ve been waiting for, and Beyoncé delivers like only she can. Fresh and piping hot, the latest remix for lead single ‘Break My Soul’ features none other than Madonna and manages to feel almost like an afterthought in the appropriately titled ‘Queen’s Remix’. That’s just the tip of the iceberg for this miraculous album. It channels 90’s drag balls though the lens of a powerful black woman, and finds the ‘Summer Renaissance’ of the dance floor its saving grace and salvation. Not unlike the way Taylor Swift’s ‘folklore’ defined the summer of 2020, Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ is the sonic boost that will see us through the dazzling summer of 2022. For that, and a record-breaking career of influential and bad-ass moves, she is our Dazzler of the Day. Check it all out at www.beyonce.com.
