Beyoncé fans are about to feast, as the superstar singer is reportedly shopping a long-awaited visual film for her Renaissance album.
Above The Line reported on Thursday (August 31) that Queen Bey and her Parkwood Entertainment company are actively shopping the visual album to studios and streamers – there just haven’t been any takers yet.
According to the outlet, the film is directed by British filmmaker Nadia Lee Cohen, and sources say that it’s “artsy” and in line with Beyoncé’s other visual albums, 2016’s Lemonade and 2020’s Black Is King. The source noted it’s “weirder” as well, adding that it “hasn’t been Disney-fied”
“It’s a visual album movie, but it’s like an art film, and I’ve also heard it’s better than Black Is King,” the source reportedly said.
Despite the album dropping a year ago in August 2022, no visuals have been released – and many fans have speculated that a visual album existed but could not be sold. The source confirmed that to the outlet, saying Renaissance was viewed by select studios and streamers between four and six months ago, but they passed at the time.
“I’m guessing the price and lack of replay value for the casual viewer,” they said. “Or maybe Beyoncé didn’t like how it turned out? I don’t know…”
