“The Renaissance Was A Fervent Period Of European Cultural, Artistic, Political And Economic Rebirth Following The Middle Ages”

“A Revival Of Or Renewed Interest In Something”

Beyoncé’s ‘Break My Soul’ Is Personal. The Dance Floor Resilience Anthem With Self Affirming Lyrics And House Beats, Sampling Robyn S.’s ‘Show Me Love’ Is Exhilarating. It Encourages Rebirth, As Beyoncé Sings Of Revival Through Salvation, Motivation, Building New Foundations And Releasing Things That Don’t Serve You.

“With All The Isolation And Injustice Over The Past Year, I Think We Are All Ready To Escape, Travel, Love, And Laugh Again. I Feel A Renaissance Emerging, And I Want To Be A Part Of Nurturing That Escape In Any Way Possible” — Beyoncé, Harper’s Bazaar (2021)

Beyoncé Sings Directly To Me. This Is PERSONAL. In The Midst Of My Own Personal Renaissance, Re Discovering Myself And Embarking On My Journey Of Adulthood In What Has Been The Most Exciting Year Of My Life So Far, Big Freedia’s Hyping Throughout The Track ‘Release Your Anger, Release Your Mind, Release The Stress’… Couldn’t Have Come At A Better Time. With A Week To Go Until My Final Leaving Certificate Exam, Summer Is 7 Days Away And My Life Is Only Just Beginning. The Disco House Tune Has Filled Me With A New Excitement For Life, And I’m Prepared To Dance My Way To Unreserved Joy.
