The full Beyoncé experience drops today, including a documentary about a historic set of concerts and the live album to accompany it. “Homecoming...” is everything a Queen Bey fan could want. And in true Beyoncé fashion, she over-delivers.
The movie "Homecoming: A Film By Beyoncé" documents the monumental two week journey of her headlining shows at Coachella last year. The doc takes us behind the scenes as she preps for the concerts with bands from HBCUs, as well as her main team. Anytime you can get these intimate glimpses of one of the all-time greats of any era in any genre, it’s captivating. The huge payoff, of course, is actually seeing the fruits of her labor come to life in front of 100,000 plus fans.
Meanwhile, "Homecoming: The Live Album” takes us there mentally and spiritually. Featuring 40 tracks of Beyoncé at her finest, you can truly appreciate just how vocally gifted she is. Take away the iconic dancing and the immaculate, one of a kind stage production, and you still have a singer whose voice is so pure and powerful she can make the toughest of us teary eyed.The movie is out now on Netflix, the album is available everywhere. By the end of the weekend, though, once all her fans get to digest all the divine content, “Homecoming" may be renaming to “Homegoing” because they all would have collectively and figuratively died and gone to Heaven.
