Beyoncé is all about shock drops. After saying through her social media bios on Monday that her new track Break My Soul would arrive at 12 a.m. ET, the pop star appears to be like to have launched the track early on some platforms. You’ll be able to presently stream it on Tidal and hearken to it on YouTube. Break My Soul is the primary single launched from her upcoming album, Renaissance.
Renaissance will doubtless be Beyoncé’s seventh solo album, a follow-up to 2016’s Lemonade. A number of social media accounts (and Beyoncé’s web site) have posted the album’s title alongside cryptic textual content that claims “act i.”
We have gotten our palms on another Beyoncé music within the years since Lemonade — she’s been busy with The Lion King: The Reward, a companion album to a 2019 remake of the animated movie; Disney Plus visible album Black Is King; Netflix live performance movie Homecoming; and Every part Is Love, a collaboration with Jay-Z. She scooped up an Oscar nomination (her first) for Be Alive, and received a Grammy Award for finest R&B efficiency for her single Black Parade. However there’s nothing fairly like a Beyoncé solo album. Here is a reminder of the 5 we have had along with Lemonade: Dangerously in Love, B’day, I Am… Sasha Fierce, 4, Beyoncé.
A tweet posted Wednesday by Beyoncé’s nonprofit BeyGood appears to counsel that that is certainly a solo album. The tweet features a collage of album covers, and a few eagle-eyed Twitter customers seen that one isn’t just like the others. “This album with the pink glove is not an actual album and the hand is pointing at brandy’s album… brandy’s album is titled B7 omggggg!!!! BEYONCÉ!!!,” one Twitter user wrote. Mainly, it seems the gloved hand is an easter egg teasing Beyoncé’s seventh solo album.
When is the brand new album arriving?
We are able to anticipate Renaissance on July 29. It will be out there on streaming companies together with Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and YouTube Music.
Here is an Instagram submit with the discharge date, from Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles.

What’s going to Beyoncé’s new album sound like?
On Thursday, British Vogue revealed a narrative from its Beyoncé-featuring July 2022 challenge, written by Editor-in-Chief Edward Enninful.
“Immediately, a wall of sound hits me. Hovering vocals and fierce beats mix and in a cut up second I am transported again to the golf equipment of my youth… It is music I like to my core,” Enninful wrote of listening to the album for the primary time at Beyoncé’s residence recording studio. “Music that makes you rise, that turns your thoughts to cultures and subcultures, to our individuals previous and current, music that may unite so many on the dance ground, music that touches your soul.”
