This Beyonce song sounds verrrrry familiar...

Queen B has returned.

Queen B has returned.

We have our first taste of her forthcoming seventh album, Renaissance, with the new single ‘BREAK MY SOUL.’

The track is a club thumper, that harks back to the 90s diva house of Cece Peniston and Crystal Walters. Produced and co-written by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, who helped create 'Single Ladies'.

The song's backbone is a sample of Robin S.’ classic house cut ‘Show Me Love’, interpolated with a vocal refrain from the Big Freedia (who contributed the remarkable, “I came to slay, bitch” sample in 2016’s 'Formation')song ‘EXPLODE.’ 

After losing ourselves in two labyrinthine concept albums, 2016’s Lemonade and 2013’s self-titled, a Beyoncé album filled with back-to-back bangers is just what the soul needs.

If Bey's British Vogue cover story is anything to go off, we're in for a record that heaves with wall-to-wall, sweaty club energy. All bouncy chords, throbbing percussion, and bliss. There are also rumours that one of house music's most revered pioneers, Honey Dijon, produced two tracks on the record.

“Instantly, a wall of sound hits me,” editor-in-chief Edward Enninful wrote when describing hearing the record for the first time. “Soaring vocals and fierce beats combine and in a split second I’m transported back to the clubs of my youth. I want to get up and start throwing moves. It’s music I love to my core. 

“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."

Renaissance, Beyoncé’s first album in six years, will be released on July 29. Listen to 'BREAK MY SOUL' below:
