Once Again, Beyonc Says 'You Are The Visual, Baby'

In a recent interview, Queen Bey explained why she opted out of having music videos for her 2022 dance album, "Renaissance."

Beyonc s Renaissance album speaks for itself at least thats what the artist told GQ magazine in an interview published Tuesday. 

Fans of the Houston legend, known as the Beyhive, have wondered if music videos for her 2022 dance album will ever be released. But aside from Renaissance: A Film by Beyonc, which dropped in December, Queen Bey hasnt shared any other visuals for the album. Instead, she told fans during her tour for the project, You are the visual, baby.

In her GQ interview, Beyonc explained why she opted out of having music videos for Renaissance, as well as its follow-up, Cowboy Carter.

I thought it was important that during a time where all we see is visuals, that the world can focus on the voice, she said. The music is so rich in history and instrumentation. It takes months to digest, research, and understand. The music needed space to breathe on its own.

Sometimes a visual can be a distraction from the quality of the voice and the music, she continued. The years of hard work and detail put into an album that takes over four years! The music is enough. The fans from all over the world became the visual. We all got the visual on tour. We then got more visuals from my film.

Ironically, Beyonc is known for her visual albums including her iconic 2016 Lemonade album.

The GQ interview was published a day after the Country Music Association excluded the superstar singers Cowboy Carter from its nominations for this years CMA Awards.
