QuoteReview: Beyonce's Triumphant 'Homecoming'The live album that accompanies her new Netflix documentary is an awe-inspiring greatest hits set4.5/5Listening to the live album version of Homecoming, which was dropped as a surprise-release on all streaming platforms the same morning as the documentary, it's clear that Beyoncé and her musicians met the call. From the stirring, opening brass section of "Welcome" to even the collage-like interludes that weave portions of her own discography with nods to everyone from Nina Simone to Soulja Boy, Homecoming: The Live Album is the type of victory lap worthy of a queen.The setlist works so well because, at the time, Beyoncé was untethered to any current projects. Lemonade was a couple years behind her and Everything Is Love, her collaborative album with husband Jay-Z, had not yet been revealed to the public. For a pop star as productive and intentional as she is, a concert that isn't tied to an era is rare. So, the songs from Homecoming feel like a greatest hits collection with a twist: they're carefully combined, remixed and chopped up to fit the college homecoming theme and musical accompaniment of a full marching band.

QuoteMuch of the magic that makes the experience of merely listening to Homecoming so vivid is in Beyoncé's voice. Doing some of her most ambitious live choreography for two hours in the desert, the then-36-year-old delivers the best vocal performance of her career. Whether she's rapping her verse from "Top Off," belting "I Care" in tandem with the guitar solo or crafting an angelic harmony with her Destiny's Child groupmates for a medley of their hits, her voice only seems to grow stronger as the show progresses, a feat unto itself.
