Beyoncé Announces New Album 'Renaissance'

After much anticipation and speculation, Beyoncé has revealed that her seventh studio album will arrive on July 29.

The official announcement came after Queen Bey cleared out her social media channels last week, including Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, fuelling speculation from fans that new music was imminent.

She changed her Instagram bio to read “act i RENAISSANCE 7.29” and updated her official website with Renaissance merch and a pre-order link. Apple Music’s pre-add page reveals that the project will contain 16 tracks. The act i subtitle also appears to suggest that the music is part of a multi-part project.

Renaissance marks Bey’s first project since 2016’s Lemonade, which was released to critical acclaim.
