Beyoncé’s new movie, Homecoming, is out now on Netflix.
The film is centred on the singer’s acclaimed Coachella comeback show in 2018. Beyoncé directed and produced the work alongside longtime collaborator Ed Burke, who served as co-director.
“This intimate, in-depth look at Beyoncé’s celebrated 2018 Coachella performance reveals the emotional road from creative concept to cultural movement,” part of a synopsis reads.
“Shot over eight months, the film follows the global entertainer as she returns to the stage after the birth of her twins, highlighting the comprehensive preparation involved in creating her ground-breaking performance, which included four months of band rehearsals followed by four months of dance rehearsals with over 150 musicians, dancers, and other creatives, — all of whom were hand-picked by the artist herself,” another description reads.
The setlist is as follows: ‘Crazy In Love’, ‘Freedom’, ‘Lift Ev’ry Voice And Sing’, ‘Formation’, ‘Sorry’ / ‘Me, Myself and I’, ‘Kitty Kat’, ‘Bow Down’, ‘I Been On’, ‘Drunk In Love’, ‘Diva, ‘Flawless’ (Remix), ‘Feeling Myself’, ‘Top Off’, ‘7/11’, ‘Don’t Hurt Yourself’, ‘I Care’, ‘Partition’, ‘Yoncé’, ‘Mi Gente (Remix)’, ‘Mine’, ‘Baby Boy’, ‘You Don’t Love Me (No, No, No)’, ‘Hold Up’, ‘Countdown’, ‘Check On It’, ‘Déjà Vu’ (featuring JAY-Z), ‘Run the World (Girls)’, ‘Lose My Breath’ (featuring Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams), ‘Say My Name’ (featuring Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams), ‘Soldier’ (featuring Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams), ‘Get Me Bodied’ (With Solange Knowles dancing), ‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)’, and ‘Love On Top’.
The release comes with a surprise, accompanying live album, which features a recording of her entire Coachella performance as well as new material.
‘Before I Let Go’, Beyoncé’s cover of Frankie Beverly and Maze’s 1981 song, is also on the 40-track album. It’s the singer’s first new material – albeit a cover – since teaming up with Jay-Z on 2018’s ‘The Carters’.
Last month, Beyoncé and her husband were honoured at the annual GLAAD Media Awards when they were presented with the Vanguard Award for “their LGBTQ allyship”. During their acceptance speech, Jay-Z paid tribute to his mother, Gloria Carter. He had previously documented her coming out on his 2017 track ‘Smile’.
