The celebrated dance artist Renaissance announced it would be a trilogy with three parts before releasing the album in July. She stated in the CD’s liner notes, “This three-act project was recorded over three years throughout the epidemic.

The remaining two acts’ details have up until now been kept a secret. Acts 2 and 3 will allegedly be an acoustic album and a JAY-Z collaboration, according to a pop culture reporter for The New York Times.
Kyle Buchanan tweeted, “Before Twitter goes down, rather than making you follow me somewhere else, I’ll just tell you what I’ve heard about the other 2 acts of Beyonce’s 3-part ‘Renaissance’ project. “(The third act is a collaboration with Jay-Z, and the second act is an acoustic album)”

If accurate, Everything Is Love (2018) would be Bey’s second full-length project with her hubby.
She already shared her thoughts on the sources of the Renaissance. In a period when the world was dangerous, she said, “creating this record gave me a place to fantasize and find escape.” In a period when not much else was moving, it gave me the freedom and adventure I needed. My goal was to establish a secure environment free from bias. a location where overthinking and perfectionism are not allowed. a location where one can yell, let off steam, and experience liberation. It was a lovely journey of discovery.
Bey received nine nominations for the 65th Grammy Awards earlier this week, including Album of the Year and Record and Song of the Year for “Break My Soul” and “Renaissance.” With a record-breaking 88 nominations apiece, she and JAY-Z are now tied for the most Grammy nominations in history.
