Beyonce releases new single Break My Soul
Beyonce has released new single 'Break My Soul' to kick off her 'Renaissance' era before her latest album drops next month.
Beyonce has released new single 'Break My Soul'.
The 40-year-old pop megastar dropped her latest song - the first tune to be taken from her upcoming album 'Renaissance' - on Monday night (21.06.22) in the US, and the house track samples both Robin S' dance hit 'Show Me Love' and Big Freedia's 'Explode'.
On the song, Beyonce sings: "Now, I just fell in love, and I just quit my job / I'm gonna find new drive, damn, they work me so damn hard / Work by nine, then off past five / And they work my nerves, that's why I cannot sleep at night."
In the pre-chorus, she belts out: "Motivation / I'm looking for a new foundation, yeah / And I'm on that new vibration / I'm building my own foundation, yeah / Hold up, oh, baby, baby."
The 'Crazy In Love' hitmaker is set to release her new album on July 29, and it's believed the collection - her first since 2016's 'Lemonade' - will drop in multiple parts.
Last summer, she gave fans a hint of what's to come from her new material and promised to "break the rules that need to be broken".
She said at the time: "With all the isolation and injustice over the past year, I think we are all ready to escape, travel, love, and laugh again.
"I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible...
"I have paid my dues and followed every rule for decades, so now I can break the rules that need to be broken. My wish for the future is to continue to do everything everyone thinks I can’t do."
Meanwhile, Beyonce is on the cover of British Vogue's July issue, and the publication's editor in chief Edward Enninful teased Beyonce's future plans.
He wrote: "New music is coming - a thrilling abundance of it...
"The creation has been a long process, she explains, with the pandemic giving her far longer to spend thinking and re-thinking every decision. Just the way she likes it."
