Beyonce

The Big Freedia-sampling track is the first single from her upcoming 'Renaissance' album, set for a July 29 release.

“Break My Soul” is Beyoncé’s first single from a solo studio album since “Lemonade” in 2016. The singer has revealed little about “Renaissance,” which is due July 29, though Variety reported last week that the LP pulls from dance music and country music and contains input from producers Ryan Tedder and Raphael Saadiq. “The queens in the front and the doms in the back,” she sings, connecting this music explicitly to its roots in Black and queer communities, “Ain’t takin’ no flicks but the whole clique snapped.”

The Williams siblings introduced the video, which featured appearances from Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy and a troupe of dancers. She also released The Lion King: The Gift in 2019. Renaissance will mark Beyoncé’s first solo studio album since Lemonade. Since sharing that LP in April 2016, she has collaborated with her husband Jay-Z on Everything Is Love and released Homecoming: The Live Album, capturing her iconic 2018 Coachella performance. The track was produced by Beyoncé, The-Dream, Tricky Stewart, BlaqNmilD, and Jay-Z. Big Freedia, Allen George and Fred McFarlane—who wrote “Show Me Love”—are listed as co-writers. The record is seemingly subtitled “Act I.” According to an unverified tweet from the fan account Beyoncé Legion, Renaissance is a 16-song album. As promised, Beyoncé has released the new song “ Break My Soul.” The track features two prominent samples: a modified synth melody from Robin S.’ classic house hit “Show Me Love” and a vocal lifted from Big Freedia’s “ Explode,” from the 2014 LP Just Be Free: “Release ya anger/Release ya mind/Release ya job/Release the time/Release ya trade/Release ya stress/Release the love/Forget the rest.” Listen to “Break My Soul” below.

Less than a week after revealing the title and release date for her follow-up to 2016's 'Lemonade,' Beyoncé returns with her new single “Break My Soul.”

It also comes with a CD, a 28-page photo booklet, and a mini poster. Jay-Z also has a writing credit on the song, which samples Robyn’s 1993 pop classic “Show Me Love.” Beyoncé’s forthcoming full-length offering Renaissance is slated for a July 29 release.

The Beyoncé he visited at home was relaxed, in a hoodie eating dinner with her family, and understatedly playing him this gargantuan new music from a laptop. It sees Beyoncé, always pushing and striving forwards, continuing to embrace and explore new sounds, this time in the form of dance music – not that she’ll have any problems handling the genre, as someone who has been getting people on their feet for decades. It seems, then, that Bey season is officially upon us.

It's from her forthcoming seventh solo studio album, "Renaissance."

"Renaissance" will be Beyoncé's seventh solo album. Beyoncé made the announcement by changing the bio on her social media accounts to "6. BREAK MY SOUL midnight ET," suggesting that the song will be the sixth track on the album. "Break My Soul," the first song from Beyoncé's forthcoming seventh album, "Renaissance," has dropped.

Queen Bey kicks off the Renaissance era with her new single “Break My Soul,” which arrived on Monday night. “Bey is back and I’m sleepin’ real good at night,” she declares. “And we back outside / You said you outside but you ain’t that outside / Worldwide hoodie with the mask outside / In case you forgot how we act outside.”

"I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible." Over time time, things started to change, but in the beginning, it was not so easy. The music's origins in black and queer spaces has often been overlooked. "That rush to orgasm was clear in its ebbs, flows and jump cuts between dark chords and uplifting piano breaks.

First single from forthcoming album Renaissance preaches freedom but gets stuck in some familiar musical tropes.

It’s obviously going to be a huge hit, but it also isn’t a Single Ladies or Run the World or Crazy in Love, the kind of Beyoncé single that stops you in your tracks: it feels like it’s following a musical trend rather than setting one. In Britain at least, we’ve heard a lot of pop singles that sound like one or both of them in the last decade. Even if you’ve never heard of a Korg M1 synthesiser, you’ve heard that sound: it’s the basis of the 1993 Stonebridge remix of Robin S’s Show Me Love and MK’s 1992 remix – or “Dub of Doom” of the Nightcrawlers’ Push the Feeling On, two of the most influential house tracks in recent pop history.

The Queen Bey has dropped a new track, and it is what the kids call a bop. Break My Soul is the first single released from Beyoncé's new album Renaissance.

YOU WON’T BREAK MY SOUL YOU WON’T BREAK MY SOUL Work by nine, then off past five.”

All you know for sure is that you'll get superb quality music and visuals!" One wrote: "I love the fact that we never know where Beyoncé is going musically. "Bey is back and I'm sleepin' real good at night," she declares on the track - Break My Soul. The catchy dance-friendly track is hailed as "reviving 90s house/dance" as fans rave about it on social media.

The song was released Monday night initially only on Tidal, Variety said, the streaming service co-owned by her husband Jay-Z.

Since “Lemonade,” Beyonce has released a collaboration with Jay-Z, a live album, a “Lion King” soundtrack and had a song featured on the fil, “King Richard.” The new album is expected to be a followup to 2016′s hit album “Lemonade.” The single is expected to be featured on an upcoming album, “Renaissance,” which Billboard said will be released July 29.

Not merely a canapé to excite us for the release of Renaissance, Beyoncé's 'Break My Soul' is the death knell for a cultural phenomenon.

The new flex is building a life that feels purposeful for you personally, while giving you time to pause, rest up, find love (familial or romantic, whatever your flavour), keep your soul intact and have a good time. True to form, Queen Bey's new track articulates everything we've been feeling; that work robbing us of our joy, stopping us from sleeping at night and generally squeezing the life out of us is something we don't have to stand for. A morsel to whet our appetites for the coming Renaissance album (and, with any luck, accompanying visual album) and a potent dance beat to complement the sunny weather.

Release your job Release your mind “Break My Soul” is the first single from Beyoncé’s upcoming seventh studio album, act i RENAISSANCE, which she announced Thursday. Her last studio album came out two presidents ago, but she has not missed a beat because “Break My Soul” is giving big quit energy.

The dance track channels the vocal house sound of the '90s and is the first taste of Beyoncé's forthcoming album, Renaissance.

But Beyoncé is a singular pop music bellwether, and “Break My Soul,” the first single from her seventh album, Renaissance, seems to hint at what’s coming, especially when taken with her cover shoot for British Vogue’s June 2022 issue, which could have been excerpted from a Rizzoli tome of photographs from Studio 54, if not for the lighting and sobriety. She opens, rather tenderly, “I just fell in love and I just quit my job/I’m gonna find new drive, damn they work me so damn hard.” Relatable: In the first verse alone, she encapsulates the Great Resignation, the Great Unionization, and quarantine insomnia. The phrase “dancefloor liberation” has been overused to the point of becoming a trope, but its meaning is rooted in the queer Black and brown clubs in the 1970s and ’80s, spaces that were politicized by their very existence.

Beyonce released a new single, "Break My Soul," on Monday. The song taps into the worker malaise that led a record number of Americans to quit their jobs.

The U.S. central bank is forecasting a slight increase in unemployment as a result of its policy. You heard the woman." The torrid pace continued into 2022. It's the first song from her seventh studio album, Renaissance, set to drop on July 29. "The overarching story of the last two years is more [one] of workers finding more opportunities and seizing them rather than due to burnout and abandoning work at large," Bunker said. Low pay and a lack of opportunity for advancement tied as the primary motivations for workers to leave a job in 2021, followed by feeling disrespected at work, according to Pew Research Center. Nearly a third of them struggle to get necessary work done, 27% feel less loyalty to their organization, 28% feel more lonely or isolated, and 55% wonder if their pay is high enough, according to the survey, published in October. The overarching story of the last two years is more [one] of workers finding more opportunities and seizing them rather than due to burnout and abandoning work at large.Nick Bunkereconomist at Indeed In the past, burned-out workers may not have felt they had the power to quit a job and readily find a new one, he added. Many fans called out allusions to the Great Resignation on social media Tuesday. "An hour into the work day and I see why Beyonce told me to quit my job," one wrote on Twitter. "Beyonce telling me to quit my full time job and become a full time streamer and like ... I might ... just do it ...??" another tweeted. Beyonce's track "is one instance of a broader public awareness or discussion about people quitting their jobs, which is reflective of what's happening in the labor market and society," Bunker said. - Beyonce released a new single, "Break My Soul," on Monday. The song talks about quitting a job and worker burnout, alluding to the pandemic era's Great Resignation labor trend.

No one puts on a festival show quite like Beyoncé. From Glastonbury to Beychella, Billboard's rounded up photos of her most memorable sets.

Photo : Photo Credit: Kevin Mazur/GI Photo : Photo Credit: Kevin Mazur/GI Photo : Photo Credit: Kevin Mazur/GI Photo : Photo Credit: Kevin Mazur/GI Over the years, she’s performed multiple times at the festival’s many iterations in New York City’s Central Park, and even jetted off to Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2018 for its special Mandela: 100 show at FNB Stadium. (She was, however, already on her way to dominating the Billboard Hot 100 for the rest of 2003 with pre-release singles “Crazy in Love” and “Baby Boy,” which would go on to reign atop the chart for a combined 17 weeks from July to November.)

Beyoncé has returned with a new single called “Break My Soul.” From the house music influences to The Great Resignation references, here's what you need to ...

The dynamic has been deemed “The Great Resignation,” and it has seemingly gained a new anthem in “Break My Soul.” Listeners are interpreting Beyonce’s crooning to “release ya job, release the time, release ya trade, release the stress” as a proclamation to join the Great Resignation and quit their jobs altogether. Many are speculating that this is a peek at Beyoncé’s upcoming release calendar for her Renaissance rollout, with “Break My Soul” kicking it off tonight, and then another song or video dropping this Friday, and then something else this next Tuesday. There are also speculations that a Renaissance tour might be on the horizon after Live Nation France promoted the album on its social media page. House is the perfect soundtrack to the “re-opening” of the world after the COVID pandemic, and “Break My Soul” is likely to inspire other artists to try their hand at the sound. BlaqnimilD, who produced the Big Freedia “Explode” sample, and Fred McFarlane and Allen George, who produced Robin S’ “Show Me Love,” are also credited on the single. “Break My Soul” samples two songs: Big Freedia’s 2014 track “Explode” and Robin S’ 1990 hit “Show Me Love.” “Explode” is a New Orleans bounce track produced by BlaqNmilD, who also has credits on Drake’s “Nice for What” with Murda Beatz. Big Freedia’s vocal sample is heard clearly on the intro of “Break My Soul” and during the post-chorus, as well as throughout the beat. “Break My Soul” comes just a week after Drake dropped his foray into house music with Actually, Nevermind. While some fans are engaged in the impossible-to-know debate of who decided to pivot first, the most meaningful takeaway is that two of music’s most ambitious creators are culling from a bustling scene of Black house musicians.

As prominent artists continue to try out new genres and sounds, Beyoncé channels 90s house music sound for 'Break My Soul.'

Stream “Break My Soul” below. The latest pop star to dabble in house music is 28-time Grammy Award winner, Beyoncé. Following in the recent footsteps of Drake‘s heavily house-inflected Honestly Nevermind, Beyoncé is reminding the masses that house music’s origins started with black artists. “Break My Soul” is Beyoncé’s first single of 2022 and is a preview of her forthcoming album, Renaissance. While the Houston-native icon has not shared if the album as a whole will take on a house music framework, word has already surfaced that Honey Dijon plays a critical role in the oncoming record’s production, signaling to a house-fueled affair from Queen Bey.

The song is part of her new album that's due to be released on July 29.

In April, 4.4 million workers quit their jobs in the U.S. even as fears of recession grow. The lyrics on her latest track, “Break My Soul,” speak to the millions of Americans who have left their jobs over the past year looking for better opportunities with unemployment at a record low. Beyonce’s new single sounds like a power anthem for the Great Resignation.

But as Beyoncé’s announcement named Renaissance as “act i,” that may only be the start, with rumors swirling that a double album is on its way. The sixth track on the album, “Break My Soul,” uses two samples: the ‘90s house classic “Show Me Love” by Robin S, and Big Freedia’s bounce anthem “Explode.” It was produced by The-Dream (who helped create three of Beyoncé’s biggest hits, “Single Ladies,” “Partition,” and “Flawless”), while Jay-Z is credited as a writer. First announced through Tidal, Renaissance will drop on July 29—the first time since 2013’s self-titled visual album that Beyoncé has given advance warning of a release.

"Thank you so much for giving me my flowers while I'm still alive," house music performer Robin S told Good Morning Britain on Wednesday.

She also released Homecoming: The Live Album, which was recorded during her headlining 2018 Coachella performance, and in March, opened the 94th annual Academy Awards with a jaw-dropping performance of her nominated song "Be Alive" from King Richard.) Earlier this year, pop star Charli XCX sampled the track for her single "Used to Know Me" from her Crash album.

At several junctures throughout the song, Beyoncé chants, “You won’t break my soul, you won’t break my soul, you won’t break my soul, you won’t break my soul.” This declaration aligns powerfully with what I hear from Black faculty in my research on workplace racial climate. I also want them to dance and experience the joy Beyonce gifts us in this liberating anthem. Black scholars are often left to motivate ourselves, sometimes as individuals and other times in collectives with other scholars of color. While we care about diversity and students of color, we also care about the scholarly ideas that originally attracted us to academic careers. Thus, some of us leave one place for another with the hope of finding more harmony and balance between our personal and professional missions. Unlike Lemonade, which required metaphorical adaptations to the higher education workplace, I see many obvious connections in this newest song. She also brilliantly used a Beyoncé lyric to advocate for pay equity for Black women in the academy. President Patton Davis notably entered and exited the stage to Apeshit, a Beyoncé and Jay Z song. The performance also inspired me as a Black professor. The 2016 National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in Higher Education (NCORE) occurred shortly after the release of Lemonade, a visual album by Beyoncé. I was the NCORE opening speaker that year. The show I put on at NCORE would not have been possible had it not been for the brilliance of Lemonade’s creator. I framed my keynote entirely on songs and stunning images from Lemonade. Specifically, I used Beyoncé’s lyrics as metaphors for various racialized experiences that many people of color have in the academy.
