Beyoncé is releasing the new song “Break My Soul” at midnight Eastern. She made the announcement by changing the bios on her social media pages to read: “6. BREAK MY SOUL midnight ET.” It’ll mark the first single from her new album Renaissance, which is out July 29.
“Break My Soul,” released on the summer solstice, marks the start of a new season, Pitchfork has learned. The new single is a dance song that is intended to mark the start of a new era with new anthems.
“Break My Soul” will arrive just about two years after Beyoncé’s single “Black Parade,” which she released on June 19, 2020 in observance of Juneteenth. The track was eventually included on The Lion King: The Gift (Deluxe Edition) and also earned her the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance in 2021. With the award, Beyoncé became the winningest female artist in Grammy history.
Renaissance is Beyoncé’s first solo studio album since April 2016’s Lemonade. “Break My Soul” is the musician’s first new song since November 2021’s “Be Alive.”
