Nova Wav first chatted with Beyoncé about “Renaissance' two years ago: 'She wanted people to feel like they were escaping. Even if things are still iffy in the climate of the world, she gave us something to dance to, something to feel good about.”
Released on Friday, the 16-track record is filled to the brim with infectious, danceable tracks, and Nova Wav — made up of Brittany “Chi” Coney and Denisia “Blu June” Andrews — are honored to have a hand in eight of the songs. The duo, who has produced and written for Jay-Z, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Kehlani, DJ Khaled, H.E.R., Jazmine Sullivan and more, first met Beyoncé in 2014.
Let’s start with “Cuff It,” which you co-wrote and produced. This song has an insane lineup of writers, including Nile Rodgers and Raphael Saadiq, and features Sheila E. on the drums. How did it come together?: We were doing some sessions in Atlanta and a couple of people came out to work on the album. I just remember having a creative block for two days straight, like I didn’t get anything done, so we all went to the strip club.
