It’s been four years since Eminem has released a solo album, and 2013’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2 ultimately proved a divisive album. While some appreciated Em’s chemistry with the rock-sampling Rick Rubin, others longed for the glory days of Eminem and Dre, which hadn’t been seen in full since 2009’s Relapse.
Therefore, fans were pleased to hear that Eminem would be once again joining forces with his mentor for his upcoming Revival, leading many to speculate on his upcoming sonic direction. Now, Revival is finally upon us, and Eminem has come through with the album’s first single “Walk On Water,” and it features none other than Beyonce.
