June 15 update: Okay, the beyhive was a little behind on their timing. Tidal has announced a new Beyoncé…something coming July 29th. Album? Visual album? visual novel at Dream Dad Simulator? Probably not the latter. All we know is that his name is RENAISSANCE, and Act 1 drops on July 29. Want to pop says it will have 16 tracks.
Fans had an idea something was about to happen earlier in the week, when the BeyGOOD Foundation posted a Tweet “Celebrating the brilliance and creativity of black musicians who have influenced the world through their art”, which contained a cover album that sounded a bit different from the others. Because it wasn’t for an existing album. Not since Catherine de’ Medici said “Hmm, I think I’d like paintings for the palace” has a renaissance been so eagerly awaited.
The original story follows.
Just two days after Beyoncé erased everything his profile pictures on social networksfans are already waiting for a new album from the Lemonade singer. Fans spotted on Beyoncé’s website this placeholder album art appears if you type today’s date (June 11). The black image with Beyoncé’s name is captioned “Image, B7,” leading BeyHive to believe her seventh album is coming soon. The image also appears if you search for “June 10”. If announced, the rumored album would be his last since Lemonade in 2016. His mother, Tina Knowles, reportedly liked a post hinting at rumors of an upcoming project. Beyoncé recently posted some pictures of herself on the ‘gram last week, after not posting since March.
Beyoncé recently opened the Oscars with her tennis-inspired performance “Be Alive” from King Richard. His latest release, the Disney+ Visual Film black is king, boosted the streamer’s subscriber count as the film reflected the current political movement in America. If her latest moves on social media mean anything, it means she’s ready to break new records.
