A Beyoncé Renaissance Is Coming
Be ready, Beyhive: A revival is coming.
Beyoncé will be experiencing a
Renaissance with her seventh studio album — and Act I'll be dropping exceptionally soon.
It’s been six years since Queen B released the universally acclaimed
Lemonade, and four since
Everything Is Love, her joint album released with her partner Jay-Z Because the Carters. On Thursday (June 16), the Tidal streaming service and Columbia Records reported that she is finally returning for her new solo studio album, called
Renaissance, this summer. Her social media bios have also changed to coincide with the announcement and list the date of the initial release as July 29.
What Act I actually means has however to be revealed, however fan accounts have begun parsing the metadata accessible across the web. As an example, the Apple Music listing has
Unveiled the album to have a total of 16 tracks. On Beyonce’s
website, four unique box sets with a physical CD, a T-shirt, 28-page photo booklet, as well as a mini poster are obtainable to pre-order.
The announcement of
Renaissance arrives almost a week soon after Beyoncé erased all her social media profile photographs on Friday, June 10. Earlier this week, fans also
Spotted another hint of a upcoming album once the singer’s BeyGOOD Foundation Twitter account
shared a collage of album covers to celebrate Black History Month, with a unknown image of a gloved hand pointing to Brandy’s album
B7. As
Renaissance could be Beyoncé’s seventh studio album, it could make sense to put two and two together.
Last year, Beyoncé did confirm in a
interview with
Harper’s Bazaar that she had been working on a new album for quite a while while in the COVID-19 pandemic, even indirectly name-dropping the title.
“I feel a renaissance emerging, and I'd like to be piece of nurturing that escape in any way possible,” she mentioned to the magazine. “I’ve been in the studio for per year plus 1/2. Some days it takes each year for me to personally search through thousands of sounds to find just the correct kick or snare.”
In preparation for
Renaissance, Queen Bey emanated magnificence and elegance for the July 2022 cover distribute problem of British
Vogue. The story also delved into some
broad strokes of what @we could have the ability to expect from the sound of
Renaissance.
Since the tea-spilling of
Lemonade in 2016, Beyoncé has worked on multiple assignments. She starred as Nala in the 2019 musical remake of
The Lion King and curated its soundtrack album called
The Lion King: The Gift. On Juneteenth 2020, she released the surprise charity single “
Black Parade,” and an online directory called "Black Parade Route" was launched alongside the song’s release to promote Black-owned small businesses.
Recently, Beyonce produced an original song “Be Alive” for the 2021 film
King Richard, which in 2022 won a Hollywood Critics Association Award for Best Original Song and obtained a few award nominations, including Best Original Song at the Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards.
