My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking.
A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration. I hope you find joy in this music.
I hope it inspires you to release the wiggle. Ha! And to feel as unique, strong, and sexy as you are,” she concluded.Mrs. Carter reportedly ran “MeToo” background checks on all the project’s collaborators after her producer Detail, who co-wrote “Drunk In Love”, was accused of sexual abuse in 2020.

Beyoncé’s chart RENAISSANCE continues in abundance today – as her seventh solo record sets its sights on becoming her fourth UK Number 1 album.
Beyoncé is having a RENAISSANCE in more ways than one. Following the release of her critically acclaimed seventh solo album, the record’s lead single BREAK MY SOUL could challenge long-reinging champions LF SYSTEM for Number 1 this week. BREAK MY SOUL is currently set to bounce from Nunber 6 to Number 2…but can it raise higher?
Beyoncé’s long-awaited seventh studio LP, Renaissance, is due out tomorrow (July 29), releasing via her Columbia Records imprint, Parkwood Entertainment. Today, less than 24 hours before the album drop, she’s shared a statement implying the record is the first installment of a larger, three-act project.
housed-up first single “Break My Soul.”If anything, Beyoncé has been reborn as a gay black man — or even a trans woman — on “Renaissance,” embracing the sounds of the underground that those communities have fiercely used as a means of empowering club catharsis. In this way, it’s even more like her answer to Madonna’s “Erotica” than her surprise self-titled set was in 2013.After Beyoncé clears her throat with the eerie electro-soul of opener “I’m That Chick” — and, um, of course, she is! — the album really kicks into full effect with “Cozy,” on which the empowering lyrics of Destiny’s Child hits such as “Independent Women Pt.

Also like Jackson: She was groomed for global takeover by her father. “You can tell now just how important Joe Jackson was to Michael and Janet in preparing them for their moment — and then when the moment arrives, them having to separate themselves from their father and move on to doing greater things,” said Andreao “Fanatic” Heard, who won a Grammy as a producer of Beyoncé’s debut solo album, 2003’s “Dangerously in Love.” “Mathew [Knowles] was the same way with Beyoncé.”Knowles always had his eyes on the prize for daughter Beyoncé to become the one-woman wonder that she is today. He managed the girl group Destiny’s Child — eventually made up of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, though there were others — which released its debut single “No, No, No” in 1997.
Beyoncé is a global icon.
