We can count on Beyoncé to break the internet every time she announces a new project, and she did it once again with Renaissance. This is the name of her upcoming seventh studio album and she teased its release with a catchy dance track “Break My Soul”.
Beyoncé removed bios and photos from her social media accounts earlier this month, and her fans immediately knew something is up. This was her way to tease her upcoming seventh studio album called Renaissance, set to hit the shelves on July 29.
She’s yet to share any official statement regarding this record, but she previously discussed it with Harper’s Bazaar in August last year. Queen B said she thinks that she feels “a renaissance emerging” after a long period of isolation and injustice and that she wants to be “part of nurturing that escape”.
According to Variety, Renaissance will be a multi-part album, featuring country and dance tracks. The lead single “Break My Soul” is an obvious candidate for the dance side of the album, because it pays a homage to the house music of the 90s. It was released on June 21 at midnight, just in time to coincide with the 2022 summer solstice.
