Beyoncé has opened her Renaissance World tour in Sweden and the show features a whole lot of the Renaissance.
Beyoncé performances 16 tracks from the new album but for fans expecting a hit singles show, forget it.
Hit songs MIA on this tour include ‘Baby Boy’, ‘Naughty Girl’, ‘Single Ladies’, ‘Check on It’, ‘Deja Vu’, ‘Irreplaceable’, ‘Beautiful Liar’, ‘If I Were A Boy’, ‘Halo’, ‘7/11’ and ‘Sorry’.
The 2022 album ‘Renaissance’ is part 1 of a trilogy so expect a lot more new Beyoncé music in coming years. The album was created during Covid as an escape. Beyoncé said I a statement ahead of the release, “Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world. It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom”.
