Beyoncé’s New Song ‘Break My Soul’ Will Send You Straight To Dance Floor

This is the first look at her long-awaited seventh album, Renaissance, which will be released on July 29. According to Pitchfork, the dance influences are evident from the increasing track, which samples Robin S.’s famous “Show Me Love” as well as vocals from Big Freedia’s “Explode.” (We’d already had hints that her new music would make us want to get up and dance.)

Given the delays caused by the pandemic, it was also reported that Beyoncé was able to take more time to perfect her album. She seems to have channeled a lot of the public’s feelings throughout this difficult period, from major life changes (“Now I just fell in love / And I just resigned my job”) to eagerly socializing again (“And we back outside”) to discover new passions and priorities (“I done found me a new foundation”). Beyoncé merely stated this morning that “Break My Soul” would be released at midnight. The song was released earlier than expected on Tidal this evening, but it is now also able to listen to on other platforms. Below are the lyrics for you to read and be inspired by, as Rollingstone reported. I’m ’bout to explode, take off this load Bend it, bust it open, won’t ya make it go?
