After the release of Beyoncé’s latest album Renaissance in July, Queen B may be teaming up with her billionaire husband, JAY-Z, on a collaboration album in the near future. Bey had previously described Renaissance as a “three-act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic.” She described the period as “a time to be quiet, but also a time that I found most creative”.
New York pop culture Kyle Buchanan hinted at the Carters’ new studio effort last week, suggesting that the other two installments of Renaissance involve an acoustic album and the collaboration album with Hov.
“Before Twitter goes down, instead of forcing you to follow me elsewhere, I’m just going to tell you what I heard about the other 2 acts of Beyonce’s 3-part ‘Renaissance’ project. (The 2nd act is an acoustic album, the 3rd act is a collaboration with Jay-Z),” Buchanan wrote on Twitter.
The Carters, who are now on par with the most Grammy-nominated artists in history with 88 apiece, last released a joint album in 2018: Everything Is Love. The album opened at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 123,000 album-equivalent units sold in its first week.
Renaissance became Bey’s seventh No. 1 solo studio album after topping the charts with 332,000 units earned across the United States. Supported by singles “Break My Soul” and “Cuff It”, the album featured guest vocals from Beam, Grace Jones and Tems. Production was executed by Hit-Boy, No ID, BloodPop, Skrillex, and P2J, among others.
