Beyoncé Says There’s No ‘Renaissance’ or ‘Cowboy Carter’ Music Videos So That Fans Can ‘Focus on the Voice’: ‘Sometimes a Visual Can Be a Distraction’
variety.comZack Sharf Digital News Director Beyoncé said in an interview with GQ magazine that she purposefully did not release any music videos for songs off her last two albums, 2022’s “Renaissance” and 2024’s “Cowboy Carter,” because she wanted the focus to remain on her voice and the music itself.
Fans urged the singer to “release the visuals” after she never dropped any “Renaissance” videos, but it was all by design. “I thought it was important that during a time where all we see is visuals, that the world can focus on the voice,” Beyoncé 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 added. “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.” Beyoncé launched the Renaissance World Tour in May 2023.
