Beyoncé shares first Renaissance single "Break My Soul"
Beyoncé has returned with new single "Break My Soul", marking the first taster of her forthcoming album Renaissance.
"Break My Soul" is the first single from Beyoncé's upcoming seventh album Renaissance, and features a sample of Robin S.'s '90s house hit "Show Me Love", which was also sampled this year for Charli XCX's "Used To Know Me", and Daddy Yankee's "Pasatiempo".
Big Freedia also expressed how it felt to contribute to Beyoncé's new single on Twitter, writing, "It feels surreal to be on the track with the Queen Beyonce once again I’m so honored to be apart of this special moment I’m forever grateful lord."

Following the release of "Break My Soul", Drake has been trolled for his house-driven Honestly, Nevermind album that landed last week, which wasn't received so positively.
Drake tried to give house and Beyoncé said “mmm, sounds more like apartment, bb.”
