“Comfortable in my skin / Cozy with who I am” and “Don’t even waste your time trying to compete with me (Don’t do it) / No one else in this world can think like me (True)” are lyrics that perfectly embody this new sense of self for the singer. In these two tracks, it feels like she’s finally let go of her critics’ perceptions of her beauty. As a 40-year-old mother who went through a challenging pregnancy with twins, Beyonce knows that her body has changed, but not her energy nor her soul. Next comes “COZY” and “ALIEN SUPERSTAR,” two songs that thematically stay within the same realm as the opening track, emphasizing feeling comfortable with your uniqueness and your flaws. It’s a song about knowing your self-worth, clearly obvious when Beyonce sings, “It’s not the diamonds / It’s not the pearls / I’m that girl.” RENAISSANCE opens with “I’M THAT GIRL,” which is the singer saying that her wealth and affluence, as well as her husband, do not own her or steer her away from being successful. Beyonce sounds like she’s having fun, even as an A-list celebrity, and it’s evident throughout its 16 tracks.
Compared to the melodrama of "Lemonade ," this new project is a celebration of owning your femininity, finding one’s confidence and letting go of past inhibitions and self-doubts.
