It marks her first proper solo album since her critically-acclaimed LP Lemonade, which she surprise dropped on Tidal in 2016 after leaving a series of cryptic ...

Now kicking off her brand new era, Beyoncé changed her Instagram bio to announce the July 29 release of Renaissance and graced the cover of the fashion magazine for a brief profile written by Edward Enniful teasing what’s to come as well as a set of stunning photos. This gave Beyoncé much more time to “spend thinking and rethinking every decision,” Enniful wrote. Beyoncé has long been known to blend all sorts of sounds and genres into her music, be it pop, R&B, soul, hip-hop, country, blues — you name it. I want to get up and start throwing moves. Before that, she released her self-titled fifth studio album in 2013 — also without warning. New Beyoncé music comes just like falling asleep: slowly, then all at once.

Streaming sites including Spotify and Apple Music swiftly posted artwork for the record, offering fans the chance to pre-save the release.

With hits like Crazy In Love, Single Ladies and Hold Up, she is one of the most successful and influential recording artists of her generation. "I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible. Yes, the music is coming!" Last year, the 40-year-old confirmed to Harper's Bazaar that she had begun working on new music. One chorus can have up to 200 stacked harmonies," she said. A listing on Apple Music suggests that Renaissance will contain 16 songs.

The following year, Beyoncé co-wrote, co-directed and executive produced “Black Is King,” a visual version of her “Lion King” album. That seminal project was nominated for nine Grammy awards, including record (“Formation”), song (“Formation”) and album of the year. “AND WE’RE ALL GONNA BUY IT!” Who could forget when Beyoncé changed the music game in 2013 by quietly launching her eponymous fifth studio album without so much as a peep of prior notice? Though “Renaissance” has already received more advance promotion than some of her other surprise releases, fans remain in awe of Queen B’s unique ability to sell a product without even trying. On Wednesday night, Beyoncé revealed that her highly anticipated seventh studio album, “Renaissance,” is coming July 29.

The new project, apparently with the subtitle “Act I,” will be released on July 29, according to the singer's social media accounts.

(CNN) We don't know much about Beyoncé's next project, but we do know that it's coming. Tidal, the streaming service purchased by her husband Jay-Z in 2015, ...

Beyoncé's last visual album, "Black Is King," released in 2020 as a companion project to her curated album "The Lion King: The Gift." She voiced the character of Nala in Disney's 2019 "Lion King" remake. Her last full length album was "Lemonade" in 2016. Those visiting the store on her site are able to pre-order "Renaissance" box sets including a CD, a t-shirt and a 28-page booklet.

The queen of the the "beyhive," we need to know the secrets Beyoncé has for her to look so good in her 40s. Her Coachella diet tells us all.

If you choose to cut out dairy, just make sure you're getting your vitamin D and calcium from elsewhere. Opting out of sugar in your diet can help you be in tip-top shape quicker. With the help of Men's Health, we wrapped up what Beyoncé cut out of her diet and what she ate instead. Cutting out meat is a standard in vegetarian and vegan diets. In this documentary, Beyoncé opens up about her diet and what she cut out of it to meet her goals. Although too many carbs can have negative effects, it turns out that your body does need them.

Here we go again! With this week's confirmation that Beyoncé will release a new album, Renaissance, on July 29, it appears very likely that Beyoncé and ...

She is the only artist in Grammy history to sweep the awards for album, record and song of the year twice. With Adele and Beyoncé both seeming like sure-fire nominees for album of the year, that leaves eight spots on the final ballot. (The Academy retained some craft committees.) The review committee in the Big Four categories may have helped push “Formation,” which was not a pop radio smash, into the record and song of the year finals. The membership has grown younger and more diverse, by both race and gender, as a result of an aggressive Academy push to bring in new members. The main difference between the two artists’ Grammy track records is that Beyoncé has won just one of her 28 Grammys in a Big Four category – album, record and song of the year plus best new artist. She has won three or more Grammys in a given year (the number she needs to tie the awards record) four times. She has amassed four or more Grammy nominations in a given year (the number she needs to tie the nominations record) nine times. (That prompted Paul Simon, on winning in 1976, to famously say “And most of all I’d like to thank Stevie Wonder who didn’t make an album this year.”) Stevie Wonder was the first, with wins for Innervisions, Fulfillingness’ First Finale and Songs in the Key of Life. Two other Black women had previously won in the category (as a lead artist) – Natalie Cole for Unforgettable with Love in 1992 and Whitney Houston for The Bodyguard soundtrack in 1994. Adele’s speech stands as one of the most selfless and gracious in awards show history. The British superstar’s blockbuster hit “Hello” beat Beyoncé’s socially conscious “Formation” for record and song of the year.

From the moment Beyoncé removed the profile photos across her socials, those of us who are tapped into the fandom network instantly knew that it was time to ...

I have zero clue what to expect except for the CD and the shirt, but I’m secretly hoping one of my boxes has the FWT (Formation World Tour) DVD.” “[Beyoncé’s] paid her dues,” Xavier said. “I think the Beyhive is so dedicated because we don’t wanna miss anything,” Dejah said. “This is the first album we’ve had in years," she said. Lapeyrolerie shared that she had been a proud member of the Beyhive and felt like she absolutely needed whatever was in the box. "A chance for her to give us ass-clapping music that pushes multiple genres forward again. But she is a creative genius so I'm sure it'll be great,” Lapeyrolerie said. “One of the worst feelings is missing out on Beyoncé’s greatness. As fans, we respect that." The coordination around Renaissance is no different. “Once I floated back down to Earth lol, I was like, I guess I now have to procure a CD player to play the CD that comes in the box, but that'll be a purchase for another day,” she said. “I rarely do anything before I have coffee — but this morning the ancestors told me to check IG, and I saw there was some new Beyoncé drop,” she told BuzzFeed News. “I went to her website and bought ‘box one’ with a swiftness that would’ve knocked a wig off.”

Shortly after Beyoncé announced her sixth solo album, 'Renaissance,' early Thursday, Variety received more information from a source.

However, since they all ship on the day of the album’s release, it seems likely that they’re just different packages for “Act 1.” It’s music I love to my core. Fans have already sleuthed information suggesting that the album will contain 16 tracks, and the fact that it is a multi-part release is clear from the face that it is billed as “Act 1.” Beyoncé’s website also featured pre-orders on four different boxed sets for the album, billed “Pose” 1-4 and including a CD, T-shirt and a box.

Renaissance: act i, Bey's first solo, non-soundtrack album since Lemonade, drops July 29.

The AP reports that Bey is planning “intimate” shows and pop-up performances around the U.K. to coincide with the Renaissance release, with a “huge tour” to follow. Neither record had the impact of Lemonade or Bey’s 2013 self-titled album, which introduced the world to the concept of the surprise digital album drop (or “pulling a Beyoncé” as it came to be known). Renaissance comes at a crucial juncture for this purveyor of superstardom’s gold standard. Beyoncé appears on top of a horse on a dance floor in one of the piece’s accompanying photos, which echoes of Bianca Jagger at Studio 54. 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. A slightly less sparse British Vogue cover story that also dropped Thursday claims “a thrilling abundance” of music is coming. The album’s pre-add page on Apple Music lists 16 tracks (12 of which are labeled “explicit”), but no song titles.

Beyoncé's 'Renaissance' merchandise is already on sale and includes $40 mystery boxes with a T-shirt that has yet to be revealed.

Editor-in-chief Edward Enninful said for the shoot, Beyoncé “wanted to play with fashion like never before.” Much like her merch, the cover story was equally mysterious. It’s not just fans loving her concert tees.

The 'Be Alive' artist made the surprise announcement about the new project overnight on Wednesday.

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. I want to get up and start throwing moves. The forthcoming album will reportedly have dance and country-leaning sounds and will feature contributions from legendary producer Raphael Saadiq and OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder. If those aforementioned music genres feel a bit foreign to you, and lead to somehow believe that they may be out of Yoncé’s wheelhouse, let me just remind you that 1) this is Beyoncé we’re talking about here.

In the six years since Lemonade, Beyoncé has remained booked and busy. She has since posted about the project on her social media accounts and her website. Beyoncé has announced her newest album will arrive this summer.

The seventh studio album from the 'Be Alive' artist is slated to drop July 29.

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. In addition to the announcement, fans were also treated to not one, not two, not three, but FOUR album merch drops that take the form of four “mystery box” sets that include a different T-shirt in each, a CD, a 28-page photo booklet, and a mini-poster. It’s music I love to my core. I want to get up and start throwing moves. According to Complex, overnight on Wednesday, the Black Is King singer revealed the name and release date for her forthcoming seventh studio album. (Now I don’t know who’s still walking around out here with a portable CD player in the year of our Lord 2022, but where there’s a Beyoncé album, there’s a way.
