Beyonce dropped her seventh solo album, “Renaissance,” on Thursday night, calling out those who leaked the album two days early and thanking her fans for being patient. “So, the album leaked, and you all actually waited until the proper release time so you all can enjoy it together,” she wrote. “I’ve never seen anything like it. I can’t thank y’all enough for your love and protection.”, “I appreciate you for calling out anyone that was trying to sneak into the club early,” she continued. “It means the world to me.”
Earlier this month Beyoncé shared the album’s cover artwork, accompanied by a note, Beyoncé wrote:
“Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world. It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. 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, and 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.”
Beyoncé surprise-dropped “Break My Soul,” the first single from the album, last month. The track has ’90s house music beats over a sample of Robin S’s 1993 hit “Show Me Love,” and features vocals from Big Freedia.
