Beyoncé released ‘Break My Soul,’ the first single from her ‘Renaissance’ album
On June 20, Beyoncé released a new track called “Break My Soul,” the lead single from her upcoming album Renaissance, which is scheduled to drop at the end of July. The track samples Big Freedia’s 2014 song “Explode” and Robin S.’s 1990 song “Show Me Love.”
The lyrics are as energetic as the beat, featuring quotes like, “I just quit my job/I’m gonna find new drive/Damn, they work me so damn hard/Work by nine/Then off past five/And they work my nerves/That’s why I cannot sleep at night.”
Later in the song, Beyoncé sings, “Release ya job, release the time/Release ya trade, release the stress.”
Pitchfork described the track as “Beyoncé as an SSRI, her attempt to assuage widespread depression and crushing stress, while acknowledging the predicament in which many of her non-zillionaire listeners find themselves.”
