Beyoncé has shared a short visual for her latest campaign with Tiffany & Co., which is soundtracked by her ‘Renaissance‘ song ‘Summer Renaissance’.The pop behemoth, who last year starred in the jewellery brand’s ‘About Love’ campaign with her husband Jay-Z, appears in the one-minute clip directed by Grammy Award winner Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo, Never Let Me Go) that sees her command a busy downtown nightclub.With the song itself sampling the queen of disco Donna Summer‘s classic ‘I Feel Love’, the video echoes the Studio 54 era as Beyoncé arrives dressed to impress in glitzy threads and jewellery for the ‘Lose Yourself In Love’ Tiffany campaign.Beyoncé initially “decided to lead without visuals giving fans the opportunity to be limitless in their expansive listening journey”, as a press release stated upon the release of her seventh solo album ‘Renaissance’, which dropped in July. “It is a chance again to be listeners and not viewers, while taking in every gem of the pristine production.”Romanek shot the film using a rare 65mm camera as an “exploration of fearless creativity”, Tiffany & Co.

Renaissance (★★★★☆), an album that, at its core, captures the physicality of the dancefloor and everything that goes along with it.Its story should sound familiar by now: amid the uncertainty of a global pandemic and the claustrophobia of quarantines and lockdowns, an artist longs for the freedom, expression, and human connection of the club and puts out an album inspired by dance music.Although the COVID dance album has become something of a meta-genre at this point, Beyoncé’s take on it is, unsurprisingly, a standout.Renaissance is undeniably a fun dancefloor fantasy, but it works as well as it does because it is made from a place of intimate familiarity with its genre.

Jennifer Lopez knows how to put on a show! The 53-year-old singer took the stage at UNICEF's sixth annual LuisaViaRoma in Capri, Italy Saturday in support of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people amid the ongoing invasion of the country by Russia.Lopez hit the stage in a sparkling zebra print number by Roberto Cavalli. The jumpsuit featured sequined details as well as feathered embellishments. She also rocked a zebra-printed feather boa-type cape to cap off the look. In photos from the performance, the «On My Way (Marry Me)» singer dazzled as she belted out some of her biggest hits, twirling and being lifted on stage by a bevy of dancers.Lopez opened the mini-concert with two of her biggest hits, «If You Had My Love» and «Waiting for Tonight.» Lopez thanked fans for coming to see her, telling the crowd that her look and performance Saturday night were «giving disco,» a reminder of her time as a little girl, growing up in the Bronx.«We're giving disco tonight.

Beyoncé is the preacher, and her music is the gospel, then Renaissance is her Resurrection Sunday sermon. Her seventh studio album is not only a place for Beyoncé to breathe new life into the musical stylings of Donna Summer and Diana Ross, but an altar call to those who have forgotten who made house and disco music: Black queer and trans people. Lynnée Denise defines house music in Harper’s Bazaar as “joy, a rhythmic theory of escape, accentuated by what could be called fatal pleasure—the war on drugs and addiction, coupled with dangerous freedom marked by a lurking “big disease with a little name.”The album is a memoriam to Uncle Jonny, the singer’s late uncle.

housed-up first single “Break My Soul.”If anything, Beyoncé has been reborn as a gay black man — or even a trans woman — on “Renaissance,” embracing the sounds of the underground that those communities have fiercely used as a means of empowering club catharsis. In this way, it’s even more like her answer to Madonna’s “Erotica” than her surprise self-titled set was in 2013.After Beyoncé clears her throat with the eerie electro-soul of opener “I’m That Chick” — and, um, of course, she is! — the album really kicks into full effect with “Cozy,” on which the empowering lyrics of Destiny’s Child hits such as “Independent Women Pt.

, is finally out in the world—and with its myriad references to the rich history of disco and house music (and very steamy lyrics) expect it to be soundtracking dancefloors around the world all through the long, hot summer ahead.But eagle-eyed—or should we say eagle-eared—fans have already spotted a very different kind of reference among the and thumping electro beats. The album’s closing track, “Summer Renaissance,” also serves as a paean of sorts to Bey’s love for fashion, featuring shoutouts to some of her favorite brands, including , , , and . “So elegant and raunchy, this haute couture I’m flaunting,” she sings with delicious imperiousness over a sample of the rippling synth line from Donna Summer’s disco classic “I Feel Love.”Beyoncé being Beyoncé, however, she made sure we were aware she still has her finger on the fashion pulse, throwing in a nod to the beloved Black-owned brand , too.

Beyoncé's new album Renaissance has arrived. The project sports 16 tracks including its lead single "Break My Soul," a top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorBeyonce has revealed the credits for her forthcoming seventh full-length solo album “Renaissance,” and they’re every bit as star-studded and envelope-pushing as you’d expect, a mixture of household names like Drake, Jay-Z and Pharrell, veteran hitmakers like The-Dream, Raphael Saadiq, Hit Boy, Mike Dean and Nova Wave, and some unknowns who are having their first entries on Genius.com.Based on the songwriting credits revealed in Apple Music — with a few typos — collaborators include:Drake, on the song “Heated,” Jay-Z, with credits on three songs, Pharrell Williams, likely in collaboration with his Neptunes partner Chad Hugo (the name “Chad” appears at the end of the credits for song “Energy”), Nigerian singer Tems, Solange/ D’Angelo collaborator Raphael Saadiq, R&B chanteuse Sabrina Claudio, Longtime Beyonce collaborator The-Dream (“Single Ladies,” “Who Run the World (Girls)”) on multiple songs, Longtime Jay-Z/ Kanye West collaborator No I.D., Songwriting/production duo Nova Wav (Denisia “Blu June” Andrews and Brittany “@Chi_Coney” Coney), PC Records founder and Charli XCX collaborator A.

Jessie Ware's pop talents weren't exactly a secret when she first emerged. Her debut album Devotion is peppered with moments like "Sweet Talk," a glittering synth ode to puppy love still progressive by today's standards, and one of the songs that made it clear stuffing her in the "post-Sade crooner" box wasn't accurate.

Diana Ross to David Bowie, Nile Rodgers is the stuff of disco legend. Now, the 69-year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Famer will have Central Park grooving as music curator for DiscOasis, a roller-skating party that begins at Wollman Rink on Thursday and goes through Oct. 1.“I sure hope history remembers disco the way that I remember it because I’m not just being romantic about it,” Rodgers told The Post.

BBC Radio 2 today after the comedian’s WiFi kept cutting out at the start of their interview, forcing her to take an early music break.The Zoe Ball Breakfast show presenter also apologised to comedian and presenter Romesh, who eventually managed to get his signal back later on in the broadcast. Zoe, 51, interviewed Romesh, 44, on her show today as the comedian promoted his new BBC One sitcom Avoidance.However, moments into appearing live on air, Romesh’s WiFi proved to be rather patchy, which led to a chaotic start to their interview. “Oh no! We’ve lost Romesh, oh dear…” Zoe exclaimed as the comedian’s voice cut out. Zoe then informed the sitcom star he was “dipping in and out” while he was trying to tell a story.“Oh, I’m sorry - I was telling such an amazing anecdote that I don’t know if I can recreate the quality of that,” Romesh quipped. The comedian attempted to carry on, but he quickly dipped out again. At this point, Zoe suggested she should play some music in the meantime so Romesh could “get a better line”. She told him to “hold tight”, before cheekily adding that the star’s frozen Zoom image “looked quite dashing”.The Radio 2 presenter then hastily cut to Donna Summer's track On The Radio. When she returned, she nervously asked if Romesh was “still there”. “I’m really sorry,” a clearer-sounding Romesh told Zoe. “This is putting a lot of pressure on this interview isn’t it.
