It marks her first proper solo album since her critically-acclaimed LP Lemonade, which she surprise dropped on Tidal in 2016 after leaving a series of cryptic ...

Now kicking off her brand new era, Beyoncé changed her Instagram bio to announce the July 29 release of Renaissance and graced the cover of the fashion magazine for a brief profile written by Edward Enniful teasing what’s to come as well as a set of stunning photos. This gave Beyoncé much more time to “spend thinking and rethinking every decision,” Enniful wrote. Beyoncé has long been known to blend all sorts of sounds and genres into her music, be it pop, R&B, soul, hip-hop, country, blues — you name it. I want to get up and start throwing moves. Before that, she released her self-titled fifth studio album in 2013 — also without warning. New Beyoncé music comes just like falling asleep: slowly, then all at once.

Streaming sites including Spotify and Apple Music swiftly posted artwork for the record, offering fans the chance to pre-save the release.

With hits like Crazy In Love, Single Ladies and Hold Up, she is one of the most successful and influential recording artists of her generation. "I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible. Yes, the music is coming!" Last year, the 40-year-old confirmed to Harper's Bazaar that she had begun working on new music. One chorus can have up to 200 stacked harmonies," she said. A listing on Apple Music suggests that Renaissance will contain 16 songs.

The following year, Beyoncé co-wrote, co-directed and executive produced “Black Is King,” a visual version of her “Lion King” album. That seminal project was nominated for nine Grammy awards, including record (“Formation”), song (“Formation”) and album of the year. “AND WE’RE ALL GONNA BUY IT!” Who could forget when Beyoncé changed the music game in 2013 by quietly launching her eponymous fifth studio album without so much as a peep of prior notice? Though “Renaissance” has already received more advance promotion than some of her other surprise releases, fans remain in awe of Queen B’s unique ability to sell a product without even trying. On Wednesday night, Beyoncé revealed that her highly anticipated seventh studio album, “Renaissance,” is coming July 29.

The album will be the pop star's first solo studio album in six years.

In March, Beyoncé opened the 2022 Academy Awards with an elaborate, neon-clad performance of her song "Be Alive," from the film King Richard, which also earned the artist her first Oscar nomination. Though she last released a proper, solo studio album in 2016 with Lemonade, her second visual album that also premiered as an HBO film of the same name, Beyoncé hasn't been quiet, working in film, fashion and contributing to other artists' projects, including a 2020 feature on rapper Megan Thee Stallion's remix of "Savage." Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has announced a new album, titled Renaissance, out July 29 according to a new listing for a Renaissance CD and products on her website.

"I've been in the studio for a year and a half," she said at the time. "Still, there's nothing like the amount of love, passion, and healing that I feel in the recording studio. It's music I love to my core." "Sometimes it takes a year for me to personally search through thousands of sounds to find just the right kick or snare. "I want to get up and start throwing moves. The July 2022 issue is slated to hit newsstands on 21 June.

Jimmy Kimmel apologises to Beyonce for mispronouncing name 'for ... (Metro)

Jimmy Kimmel apologises to Beyoncé for mispronouncing her name 'for 20 years' - and we could all owe Queen Bey an apology for this mistake.

He quipped: ‘I just want to be-yon-say, to be-yon-say, that I am so-ray for screwing up your name for 20 years. It’s on the “e”. So it’s actually “Be-yon-say”. Not “Beyon-Say. ‘ ‘I want everybody to look at this together.

"You told us “say my name, say my name,” and we didn't listen," Kimmel says.

“Because, put her name up on the screen if you would” — at this point her name appeared onscreen — “And I want everybody to look at this together. I mean you said, you told us ‘say my name, say my name,’ and we didn’t listen.” “You know, last night, my wife — we put the kids to bed — my wife was looking at her phone, and she’s like, ‘Oh my God!’ Kimmel said.

Beyonce Renaissance: All you need to know about the B7 album ... (goodtoknow)

Beyonce Renaissance is the 7th album from the former Destiny's Child star - release date and tracklist revealed.

She currently looks after all things Entertainment for Goodto.com, Woman&Home, and My Imperfect Life. Before joining Future Publishing, Selina graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2006 with a degree in Journalism. She is fully NCTJ and NCE qualified and has 100wpm shorthand. It's thought the album might be the first of a several part release, given Beyonce's choice of words - "act i" suggesting that there could be more to follow. As a result it creates a very classy and elegant sound, that is neither major nor minor sounding, but actually both at the same time. The new album is available to pre-order in a collectible renaissance box set (£34) - which comes in four different designs. “With all the isolation and injustice over the past year, I think we are all ready to escape, travel, love, and laugh again,” she said. Beyonce's new album Renaissance has the confirmed release date of July 29th.

Beyoncé's New Album Is a Mystery, But Signs Point to Disco (Jezebel)

Renaissance: act i, Bey's first solo, non-soundtrack album since Lemonade, drops July 29.

The AP reports that Bey is planning “intimate” shows and pop-up performances around the U.K. to coincide with the Renaissance release, with a “huge tour” to follow. Neither record had the impact of Lemonade or Bey’s 2013 self-titled album, which introduced the world to the concept of the surprise digital album drop (or “pulling a Beyoncé” as it came to be known). Renaissance comes at a crucial juncture for this purveyor of superstardom’s gold standard. Beyoncé appears on top of a horse on a dance floor in one of the piece’s accompanying photos, which echoes of Bianca Jagger at Studio 54. 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. A slightly less sparse British Vogue cover story that also dropped Thursday claims “a thrilling abundance” of music is coming. The album’s pre-add page on Apple Music lists 16 tracks (12 of which are labeled “explicit”), but no song titles.

Beyoncé's 'Renaissance' merchandise is already on sale and includes $40 mystery boxes with a T-shirt that has yet to be revealed.

Editor-in-chief Edward Enninful said for the shoot, Beyoncé “wanted to play with fashion like never before.” Much like her merch, the cover story was equally mysterious. It’s not just fans loving her concert tees.

‘It’s a natural continuation from her last two records because she wrote them out of her desire to find peace in the world and in her marriage. As ever with Beyoncé, it is all about the intent.

What you need to know about Beyoncé's Vogue cover (The Sydney Morning Herald)

Apart from Adele and Rihanna, no singer can cause louder rumblings in the world of fashion by landing on the cover of Vogue than Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.

The T-shirts do not appear in the Vogue shoot but are available to pre-order on Beyoncé’s website. You will have to look elsewhere to purchase horses and feather crowns. Instead of an interview, British Vogue editor Edward Enninful delivers a first-hand account of working with the Dreamgirls star for the July edition. “I asked when we might make some more pictures together,” Enninful says, having styled the star in 2020. “I want to get up and start throwing moves. It’s music I love to my core.

Beyoncé's Baby Bangs Have Divided The Internet (Glamour UK)

Beyoncé covers the July issue of British Vogue and looks amazing in the daring editorial photoshoot – fans are already reacting to some of her hair looks.

She also had a pair of those stubby bangs in a brunette shade in her "Telephone" music video with pop star Lady Gaga. In a few photos, she has dark hair instead of her usual blonde-highlighted strands, which is making some fans wonder if Queen Bey will be returning to her brunette era for this new album. The rest of the photo shoot is just as breathtaking and extravagant.

Beyoncé's New 'British Vogue' Photos Have Just Changed Our Lives ... (Daily Beast)

Queen B didn't just announce her new album—she gifted us with what may rank as one of the most stunning magazine photo shoots ever.

The blurriness of this adds to the intrigue of this album, too. And not only is Beyoncé pioneering with those disco balls, but she’s teasing the sound palate of Renaissance. British Vogue EIC Edward Enniful, who was lucky enough to hear some of the new tracks, said the song he heard conjured images of the club. Agree that photo #2 has the most flair, but I am desperate to see more angles of her wearing that asymmetrical visor in photo #1. It’s so hard to admit that summer can’t really begin until the end of July, but I’ll be spending the next 42 days peeling through the internet for the chunkiest heeled boots and sparkliest disco balls I can squeeze into my apartment. Fletcher: A top comment here reads “The president of the United States omg!!!” and I love that energy. Fletcher: I’ve sent this image to approximately 87 of my closest friends, making sure they understand that this is the vibe every day after July 29. This shot is full of lightness and movement, and has inspired me to dance. Fletcher: The black clothes/red background look she’s repeating really takes the cake in this shoot. A simple, sleek black dress (notice the gloves, too!) is the perfect way to capture attention with this cover. Saturn’s rings are floating around, defying the law of gravity. This look is giving Twin Peaks “Black Lodge” vibes, a little bit, but if Lynch were high fashion instead of abstract horror. We are not among you, but we’re happy for you.) She’s the type of creator whose vision comes together in one intentional set of songs.
