Beyoncé has officially shared the lead single of RENAISSANCE, entitled “Break My Soul.”

Clocking in at just over four-and-a-half minutes, the cut features production work Tricky Stewart, Terius Nash and Bey herself. The upbeat, summer-ready cut fuses sonic hints of music from the islands as Beyoncé sings of finding new love and life — feeling free with the anthem as she sings “Bey is back and I’m sleeping real good at night.”

RENAISSANCE will mark Beyoncé’s first full-length album since 2016’s award-winning Lemonade. TIDAL — owned by her husband JAY-Z — confirmed in a surprise announcement that the upcoming record is set to release on July 29, while the album’s Apple Music page revealed a total of 16 tracks.

Stream Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul” on YouTube and TIDAL.
