SWEAT STAFF PICK: Daniel AND Lolo

"Over 16 generation-hopping tracks, the record celebrates the transportive nature of the club, whirling through genres and name-checking floor-fillers that have ruled discotheques, warehouses, and makeshift dance havens for decades. It also drops hints as to what might have led Beyoncé to find solace in those places, with dropped-mask lyrical asides about wanting love and feeling underestimated by others juxtaposed with braggadocio borrowed from the likes of bounce innovator Big Freedia and Atlanta MC Kilo Ali. 

The catalog of touchstones, samples, and cameos on Renaissance could double as a syllabus for a master class on the evolution of dance music as it has unfolded during Beyoncé's lifetime — and in this era of easily accessible YouTube clips and streaming discographies, it should."
