RENAISSANCE FARE (UPDATE)
“Break My Soul,” the propulsive lead single from Beyoncé’s upcoming Renaissance (Parkwood/Columbia), samples Robin S’s iconic club track “Show Me Love” and New Orleans bounce pioneer Big Freedia’s “Explode.” Tricky Stewart and The-Dream co-produced. By midday Tuesday (6/21), Bey's single had topped iTunes and entered the Top 5 at Apple Music.
Last week, Beyoncé revealed that Renaissance would arrive on 7/29. Fans are already pre-ordering their "B7" box sets here.
Whether you're a Bey or Drake fan, the message is clear: Get off your ass and dance.
Queen @Beyonce, you’ve done it again! “Break My Soul” is the song we all need right now, and I can't help but dance and sing along while listening to it. Can’t wait for the album! 💃🏿
