Jay-Z stands by his prestigious standing, at time lazily, but with a few flashes of genius, like on “FRIENDS” and “LOVEHAPPY”, on which he talks family and dynasty. More often on the forefront than her husband, Beyoncé drops a proper display of power, fiercely rapping on several tracks, playing with her image and pushing many boundaries. Beyoncé’s pop range blends with Jay-Z’s more soul-jazz influences thanks in part to the work of Cool & Dre, particularly at ease orchestrating this genuine balancing act. The couple once again edges towards the grandiose, sharp yet conscientious musical universe of Pharrell Williams, producer on “NICE” and “APESHIT”. In its form, Everything is Love falls within today’s norms, echoing them with lavish lifestyle and African-American honour. This album is also the symbol of reconciliation, a link between the two lovers who had been rumoured to be close to breaking up and who worked, both behind the scenes and publicly, to put their grievances and disputes behind them, using them to fuel their artistic aspirations. Its nine tracks are both a celebration of black success and a sharp critique of today’s society.
Following the blueprints of Jay-Z’s 4:44 and Beyoncé’s Lemonade, EVERYTHING IS LOVE is an album focused on the introspection of an extraordinary couple and the analysis of their celebrity. Although much anticipated ever since their first collaboration in 2002, Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s common album surprised everyone on June 16th, 2018 at the same time as Nas and Kanye West’s NASIR. The ultimate luxury for the biggest stars is to be able to randomly release an album without warning.
