The first preview from her new album Renaissance samples Robin S.' classic house cut “Show Me Love”

The Williams siblings introduced the video, which featured appearances from Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy and a troupe of dancers. She also released The Lion King: The Gift in 2019. Renaissance will mark Beyoncé’s first solo studio album since Lemonade. Since sharing that LP in April 2016, she has collaborated with her husband Jay-Z on Everything Is Love and released Homecoming: The Live Album, capturing her iconic 2018 Coachella performance. The track was produced by Beyoncé, The-Dream, Tricky Stewart, BlaqNmilD, and Jay-Z. Big Freedia, Allen George and Fred McFarlane—who wrote “Show Me Love”—are listed as co-writers. The record is seemingly subtitled “Act I.” According to an unverified tweet from the fan account Beyoncé Legion, Renaissance is a 16-song album. As promised, Beyoncé has released the new song “ Break My Soul.” The track features two prominent samples: a modified synth melody from Robin S.’ classic house hit “Show Me Love” and a vocal lifted from Big Freedia’s “ Explode,” from the 2014 LP Just Be Free: “Release ya anger/Release ya mind/Release ya job/Release the time/Release ya trade/Release ya stress/Release the love/Forget the rest.” Listen to “Break My Soul” below.

The Big Freedia-sampling track is the first single from her upcoming 'Renaissance' album, set for a July 29 release.

“Break My Soul” is Beyoncé’s first single from a solo studio album since “Lemonade” in 2016. The singer has revealed little about “Renaissance,” which is due July 29, though Variety reported last week that the LP pulls from dance music and country music and contains input from producers Ryan Tedder and Raphael Saadiq. “The queens in the front and the doms in the back,” she sings, connecting this music explicitly to its roots in Black and queer communities, “Ain’t takin’ no flicks but the whole clique snapped.”

Beyoncé's new solo album Renaissance, her first since 2016, will be released on July 29.

Just the way she likes it," he wrote. "[On set] it was a magical mood and soon B was walking around feeling easy and free to be herself," he added. "Her husband and kids came to surprise her on set.

Of course, Twitter erupted with joy at the release of a new Beyoncé track—both celebrating its homage to the Black queer origins of house music, ...

In the accompanying article, British Vogue’s editor-in-chief Edward Enninful offered a glimpse of what that music might promise. But for her widely anticipated seventh album, revealed in a British Vogue cover story last week to be titled Renaissance, Beyoncé is turning the tables all the way back around, delivering the kind of traditional multi-chapter promotional rollout that she all but did away with a decade or so ago. Back in 2013, Beyoncé released her critically-acclaimed self-titled record (and its accompanying visual album) in a surprise drop—and by doing so, changed the game forever.

It's from her forthcoming seventh solo studio album, "Renaissance."

"Renaissance" will be Beyoncé's seventh solo album. Beyoncé made the announcement by changing the bio on her social media accounts to "6. BREAK MY SOUL midnight ET," suggesting that the song will be the sixth track on the album. "Break My Soul," the first song from Beyoncé's forthcoming seventh album, "Renaissance," has dropped.

(Her 2016 magnum opus Lemonade drew praise for its inventive fusion of hip-hop, R&B, blues and indie rock, while 2013’s Beyoncé, famously found the singer flirting with trip hop and experimental pop.) Over a pulsating house beat accentuated by looping piano progressions, Yoncé celebrates the joys of living with reckless abandon (“I just fell in love, and I just quit my job”) and the thrill of returning to a new normal after three years of a stir-crazy existence (“I’ma let down my hair ’cause I lost my mind”). While it’s difficult to not examine the song through COVID-colored glasses, it’s undeniable Beyoncé is acknowledging the shared experiences of the pandemic as she playfully quips “we back outside” before giving a shout-out to the continued importance of wearing a mask.

While it’s difficult to not examine the song through COVID-colored glasses, it’s undeniable Beyoncé is acknowledging the shared experiences of the pandemic as she playfully quips “we back outside” before giving a shout-out to the continued importance of wearing a mask. In fact, “Break My Soul” is loaded with inspirational aphorisms: “If you don’t seek it, you won’t see it”; “If you don’t think it, you won’t be it”; “Tryin’ to fake it, never makes it.” It’s easy to dismiss these affirmations as overly sentimental platitudes.

"I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible." Over time time, things started to change, but in the beginning, it was not so easy. The music's origins in black and queer spaces has often been overlooked. "That rush to orgasm was clear in its ebbs, flows and jump cuts between dark chords and uplifting piano breaks.

“Show Me Love” has been sampled by the likes of Jason Derulo, and by Charlie XCX earlier this year, and search results for bootleg remixes on YouTube go on for page after page. It's actually a sample from Robin S.'s '90s club classic “Show Me Love", a retro floor-filler that has been a staple of wedding DJs, Ibiza beach parties and UK club dance floors for decades. “Crazy in Love” used The Chi-Lites “Are You My Woman? (Tell Me So)” after producer Rich Harrison came across it in a stack of records, while “Freedom” sampled “Let Me Try” by Kaleidoscope to give the track more of a militant feel.

It also reunites Queen Bey with bounce music legend Big Freedia, who appeared on Beyoncé's hit 2016 song “Formation.” “It feels surreal to be on the track with ...

Someone please catch me." "Imma let down my hair/'Cause I lost my mind," she sings. In 2020, Beyoncé' released the single "Black Parade" in honor of Junteenth.

Beyoncé's new era has officially begun! The musician launched her Renaissance era with the album's first song, "Break My Soul", with a lyric video released ...

“I can’t wait for the world to hear it.” Although Renaissance will be the first full-length studio album she’s dropped in years, Beyoncé has put out quite a bit of music. On Beyoncé’s website, fans can already pre-order the album, with four box sets available, some of which include a CD, T-shirt, mini-poster and a 28-page photo booklet. “I’ma let down my hair ’cause I lost my mind / Bey is back and I’m sleeping real good at night,” Beyoncé croons in the song. Although she has kept mum, others around her have teased details of the upcoming album that promises a new side of the artist. The single heavily samples Robin S.’s 1990 dance hit, “ Show Me Love“, and features additional vocals and another sample from bounce legend Big Freedia.

First single from forthcoming album Renaissance preaches freedom but gets stuck in some familiar musical tropes.

It’s obviously going to be a huge hit, but it also isn’t a Single Ladies or Run the World or Crazy in Love, the kind of Beyoncé single that stops you in your tracks: it feels like it’s following a musical trend rather than setting one. In Britain at least, we’ve heard a lot of pop singles that sound like one or both of them in the last decade. Even if you’ve never heard of a Korg M1 synthesiser, you’ve heard that sound: it’s the basis of the 1993 Stonebridge remix of Robin S’s Show Me Love and MK’s 1992 remix – or “Dub of Doom” of the Nightcrawlers’ Push the Feeling On, two of the most influential house tracks in recent pop history.

The Beyoncé he visited at home was relaxed, in a hoodie eating dinner with her family, and understatedly playing him this gargantuan new music from a laptop. It sees Beyoncé, always pushing and striving forwards, continuing to embrace and explore new sounds, this time in the form of dance music – not that she’ll have any problems handling the genre, as someone who has been getting people on their feet for decades. It seems, then, that Bey season is officially upon us.

The song was released Monday night initially only on Tidal, Variety said, the streaming service co-owned by her husband Jay-Z.

Since “Lemonade,” Beyonce has released a collaboration with Jay-Z, a live album, a “Lion King” soundtrack and had a song featured on the fil, “King Richard.” The new album is expected to be a followup to 2016′s hit album “Lemonade.” The single is expected to be featured on an upcoming album, “Renaissance,” which Billboard said will be released July 29.

Beyoncé is now officially the unofficial spokesperson of the Great Resignation. At midnight Tuesday morning, she released “Break My Soul,” an ode to house ...

Release your job Release your mind “Break My Soul” is the first single from Beyoncé’s upcoming seventh studio album, act i RENAISSANCE, which she announced Thursday. Her last studio album came out two presidents ago, but she has not missed a beat because “Break My Soul” is giving big quit energy.

The dance track channels the vocal house sound of the '90s and is the first taste of Beyoncé's forthcoming album, Renaissance.

But Beyoncé is a singular pop music bellwether, and “Break My Soul,” the first single from her seventh album, Renaissance, seems to hint at what’s coming, especially when taken with her cover shoot for British Vogue’s June 2022 issue, which could have been excerpted from a Rizzoli tome of photographs from Studio 54, if not for the lighting and sobriety. She opens, rather tenderly, “I just fell in love and I just quit my job/I’m gonna find new drive, damn they work me so damn hard.” Relatable: In the first verse alone, she encapsulates the Great Resignation, the Great Unionization, and quarantine insomnia. The phrase “dancefloor liberation” has been overused to the point of becoming a trope, but its meaning is rooted in the queer Black and brown clubs in the 1970s and ’80s, spaces that were politicized by their very existence.

The Queen Bey has dropped a new track, and it is what the kids call a bop. Break My Soul is the first single released from Beyoncé's new album Renaissance.

"The overarching story of the last two years is more [one] of workers finding more opportunities and seizing them rather than due to burnout and abandoning work at large," Bunker said.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell wants to increase joblessness in the US in order to save the economy. But Beyoncé may beat him to it.

But if Beyoncé goes where Powell has not, "Break My Soul" also presents fans with somewhat of a predicament: "Now if I quit my job, how I'ma pay for the tour?" The song, Beyoncé's first single since Juneteenth last year, blends 1990s club culture with 2022 Pride vibes. "Release your anger/Release your mind/Release your job/Release the tide/Release your trade/Release the stress/Release your love/Forget the rest," sings Big Freedia, lyrics that embrace both the socio-economic pandemic fatigue and the desire to break free of it.
