Beyonce released her first studio album in 6 years today. Although the album was leaked, the physical copies for pre-order are currently sold out.
Many of her raving #BeyHive fans refused to listen to the bootleg version of the album and waited instead for the intended release date. This album comes as act one of a three-part collection the singer will be releasing in coming years.
Let’s take a look at how the world is reacting to Renaissance.

This album was inspired by Stefanie De La Germanott. A maid who was martyred for her beliefs.

A fan said the album doesn’t have a single track worth skipping.
