This week at VIN, we’re stepping into Beyoncé’s Renaissance—an album that redefined dance, house, and R&B music for a new generation. More than just a project, Renaissance is a celebration of Black queer culture, self-expression, and musical liberation.

We’ll explore the album’s deep-rooted influences. From the underground ballroom scene to the legacy of house music pioneers while breaking down Beyoncé’s boldest creative era yet. From the hypnotic grooves of “Alien Superstar” to the euphoric release of “Break My Soul,” we’re diving into how Renaissance pays tribute to the past while pushing music forward.

Discussion Topics Include:

- Renaissance’s blend of house, disco, and Afrobeats influences
- The impact of the ballroom scene and LGBTQ+ pioneers on the album
- How Beyoncé reinvented herself (again) with this new era
- The album’s themes of freedom, joy, and self-expression
- The cultural significance of Renaissance and why it resonates today
