Item Description
Capping off the autobiographical relationship saga started by Lemonade and 4:44, Beyonc? and Jay-Z present a united front as the Carters on their surprise release Everything Is Love. Unveiled without warning while on the European leg of their joint On the Run II tour, the album extends themes from Beyonc?'s Lemonade (Jay-Z's infidelity, her strength and power) and Jay's 4:44 (family, penance, and the black experience), celebrating the couple's cultural clout and self-made wealth through the lens of forgiveness. It's also a sonic master class in marital counseling and commitment, wherein Beyonc? emerges with the upper hand and a contrite Jay is lucky she's so gracious. Vocally, it's a similar story: Beyonc? shines here, balancing light rap verses ("Apeshit" and "Nice") with some of the prettiest vocals she's recorded in years ("Friends"), while Jay offers his standard braggadocious bars that nonetheless make an impact for their occasional honesty and humility (like on one unflinching exchange in "LoveHappy" where Beyonc? angrily alludes to the infamous Becky-with-the-good-hair and their vow renewals after Jay's cheating, to which he exclaims, "Yo, chill man!"). These interactions provide plenty of charm on Everything Is Love, which manages to be casual in its delivery while carrying emotional heft for fans who have followed this Empire-esque dramatic arc since Lemonade dropped in 2016. In addition to executive production by Beyonc? and Jay themselves, a team of collaborators provides enough stylistic variety to support the thematic tone, from the aggressive trap anthems "Apeshit" and "Nice" -- courtesy of Pharrell Williams -- to the sun-kissed romance of "Summer," whose Cool & Dre also provide classic-sounding atmosphere on the sample-riding "713" and "Black Effect." The carefree confidence on "Heard About Us" benefits from Boi-1da and team, while TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek joins for the bold "LoveHappy." Their reconciliation under intense public scrutiny and fame makes the album even more of a triumph, a spirit that peaks on the uplifting power anthem "Black Effect," which delivers on "713"'s assertion that there "Ain't no way to stop this love/Ain't no space if everything is love." Hand in hand, Beyonc? and Jay-Z do it together on Everything Is Love, a timely document that shows even the most powerful couple in hip-hop can still endure the most trying and human of challenges. ~ Neil Z.
