On the latest @nytimes Popcast, I spoke to @joncaramanica about Beyoncé’s use of queer references in ‘Renaissance’, the importance of using criticism to ask vital questions and the whirlwind week of backlash (and support) I received after publishing a mildly critical review of the record.
If she wanted to give queer artists a platform, she would've had them listed as co-creators on the tracklist and all the streaming platforms. Otherwise it's just jumping on the bandwagon of what's "in" night now.
