Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul” lyrics herald that the music superstar is truly and officially back.
Last week, the “Dangerously in Love” singer caused panic in the industry by announcing the impending release of her long-awaited seventh album Renaissance. The project — her first solo outing since 2016’s Lemonade — is due to arrive July 29.
The announcement came following weeks of speculation, rumors and subtle hints that fans dissected with surgical precision.
The Beyhive will get their first taste of the LP when its lead single “Break My Soul” drops at midnight tonight. Beyoncé announced the release simply by changing her bio on Instagram.
Pitchfork notes the single is timed to coordinate with the summer solstice and that it will feature an anthemic and danceable vibe. Meanwhile, American Songwriter reports “Break My Soul” was co-written and co-produced by The Dream. He previously worked with Beyoncé on the likes of “Love on Top,” “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” and “Countdown.”
While we don’t know much about the sound of either “Break My Soul” or Renaissance just yet, we got a hint of what to expect thanks to a recent feature for British Vogue.
The article describes the new material as featuring “soaring vocals and fierce beats” that evoke memories of clubbing.
“It’s music I love to my core. Music that makes you rise, that turns your mind to cultures and subcultures, to our people past and present, music that will unite so many on the dance floor, music that touches your soul,” the publication promises. The inspiration is reportedly American music made around the turn of the century.
An accompanying photoshoot hintes at a dance vibe as it features photos of the “Diva” hit-maker reclining on a disco ball and wearing a stunning gold number. Check out some of the photos below:
