Break My Soul is the first track to be lifted from the American superstar's new album, 'Renaissance', due out on July 29. It will be her first record under her own steam since 2016's 'Lemonade', which earned her Grammy, BET and MTV Video Music Awards.
The song deals in huge late '90s, early noughties garage-esque beats — sampling Robin S' Show Me Love and New Orleans bounce artist Big Freedia's track Explode — as the superstar delivers words of defiance and resilience via dynamic powerhouse vocals and a rap just before the midway mark.
"Bey is back and I’m sleeping real good at night, The queens in the front and the doms in the back, Ain’t takin’ no flicks but the whole clique snapped," she sings.
There are also bars courtesy of Freedia, who has a writing credit for the track alongside Beyoncé, Adam Pigott, Allen George, Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, Fred McFarlane, S. Carter (Jay-Z) and Terius Nash (The-Dream), with the latter having produced the track with the singer and Stewart.
