Carrie Battan: 碧昂丝的最新专辑《Renaissance》代表了她对自由和自我表达的追求，摆脱了以往作品中婚姻和家庭的束缚，专辑中融入了俱乐部音乐和酷儿文化的元素，致敬了这些文化对她的影响。她详细分析了专辑中几首歌曲，例如《Cozy》，这首歌体现了碧昂丝对浩室音乐的深入研究，并与传奇DJ Honey Dijon合作，展现了碧昂丝对音乐的精益求精。另一首歌曲《America Has a Problem》则出乎意料地并非政治歌曲，而是节奏强烈的俱乐部风格歌曲，样本采样了90年代关于可卡因的说唱歌曲。此外，她还赞扬了专辑中歌曲的衔接和过渡，如同一位经验丰富的DJ一样流畅自然，整体营造出一种沉浸式的音乐体验。值得一提的是，碧昂丝在巡演中似乎在克服伤病，表演中肢体动作有所减少。 David Remnick: David Remnick主要负责引导访谈，对Carrie Battan的观点进行补充和引导，并对碧昂丝的巡演和专辑的总体情况进行总结。他提及了碧昂丝的巡演是夏季最受期待的音乐盛事之一，并与Taylor Swift的巡演不相上下。

Shownotes Transcript

This summer, the most anticipated tour (in close contest with Taylor Swift) is Beyoncé’s tour for her seventh studio album, “Renaissance,” which came out in 2022. Her previous record “was about the turbulence of [her] marriage and was in some ways a monument to marriage as an institution,” The New Yorker’s music critic Carrie Battan tells David Remnick. “Renaissance”—a homage to club music and queer culture—“is about breaking free of all of those chains. It’s about going to the club, and quitting your job and dancing and experiencing the ultimate freedom.” Battan talks through her favorite tracks on the record.
