Beyonce is back and the countdown is officially on to the release of her seventh studio album, ‘Renaissance,’ which is due July 29.
With lead single ‘Break My Soul’ smashing out of the gate, Queen Bey has unwrapped the official cover for the hotly anticipated LP.
Full story after the jump…
The striking artwork (unveiled above) was paired with an impassioned articulation of the project’s inspiration.
Taking to social media, Bey wrote:
“act i RENAISSANCE 7.29Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world. It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration. I hope you find joy in this music. I hope it inspires you to release the wiggle. Ha! And to feel as unique, strong, and sexy as you are.”
Roll on July 29!

Too told for this.
**too old for this
Go suck some dïck, or can’t you get any?
Ya papi was sucking yours wasn’t he?
So you can’t get any as that got you mad lmaoooooooooo 🤣
You won’t “BREAK HER SOUL”
😊
Yaaaaaaaaaaas 👑🐝
Looks like something Twigs would do. Does not look flattering on her though. Shes looking heavy again.
She looks good! I hope you are in shape.
I am, and I stand by what I said. She looks fat… now where do you go from here? Tell hive @ me lol 😁😁😂
Omigosh she looks so goddamn amazing I love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍😍
Those twins did her good. She’s literally serving BODY. Damn!
Serving BBL, lipo and tummy tuck lmfaoooo
Who isn’t these days? Besides, she looks amazing.
I Miss You.♥️💐🥰
It’s INCREDIBLE.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m excited!… But I still don’t like Break My Soul 🤷🏿♂️
It’s written like a nursery rhyme. She thought she ate, but judging by this cover art, all she did was eat 🍔
LMAO!!!
Ok she need to go somewhere it’s cardi b day we not here for Beyoncé album cover today
Cardi B day is tomorrow, busta! It is ok to like both!
This era is off to a rough start. Cover looks cheap. Her fake boobs look hard as a rock.
Yes. This had to have been a last minute decision ya’ll. I personally feel that she had a different, more subdued photo chosen but decided to go all “women empowerment” in the face of the reversal of Roe v Wade. It’s a statement….look at the national context. A half naked mother of 3 on a ghost horse doesn’t really jive with the whole “renaissance” narrative, but a half naked woman sitting haughtily atop a horse SCREAMS feminism and empowerment. Just sayin
LOL she’s not that clever lmaoooo
🤘Horsewoman of the Apocalypse 🤟
I told y’all!
👀📿
My thoughts exactly! Looking very biblical 🤔
Unless (per Wendy Williams’s words) in Beyonce’s 5th grade educated mind, this is Lady Godiva? 🤣
That literally could be said about anybody in the music industry….
True. They’re usually 4. Bey’s favorite number. Coincidence? Think not.
LMAO I’m going to be looking for the song on the album that exemplifies this now😂
Might need to play said-song in reverse 🤡
This plus unflattering sitting on the horse (with the bad photoshop job)
I hope it wasn’t a REAL ice sculpture! #chapstick4days 🤠
Or refers to her being a work horse?
She did the same theme in the “Run the World” video.
WTF ? Where is the Beyoncé that used to preach that suggesting is better than showing ? That « outfit » is in Cardi’s league. It looks cheap and not s***.
Anyway I’m here for the music. She can keep that cover.
Preach it !!
She is as trash as a p0rn actress.
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Cardi is high end fashion walked Paris with the biggest designers try again
High end fashion Cardi ? Because she went to a fashion show ? It’s like saying because you went to a gastronomic restaurant you know about food. Your logic is level 0.
That Beyoncé died the day she boooty popped in a thong on stage while Blue Ivy watched in the audience. Remember (one of my fave Destiny’s Child song) “Nasty Girl”? Bey became just that for continued commercial success.
Vogue cover , mugler showroom, met gala cardi is the high fashion rap b**** kollin kills it every time don’t act surprised cardi been high fashion not just because she went to a fashion show did you catch all those looks in Paris that whole week keep hating b****
You’re literally a chihuahua. Always yapping and no bite.
But no matter when it sunk in for you, it’s now undeniable that Cardi is a fashion force to be reckoned with—whether it be during her front row–hopping at Paris Fashion Week or walking the Met Gala red carpet in custom Moschino. Looking back over her style evolution, starting from the head wrap and leather trench dress that she wore to Alexander Wang’s fall 2018 show and ending with her recent vintage Jean Paul Gaultier moment at the premiere of Hustlers in Los Angeles, it’s impossible not to be struck by just how much Cardi’s wardrobe has changed in such a short amount of time (barely even three years, to be exact).
From vogue here ya go hater 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽

From vogue 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Looks like a cheap wh0rē/stripper
Like yo momma!
not the best cover, this era is giving uninspired, just like her lead single
Yo jealous FACE is Uninspired.
I’m bored. Beyonce is a old lady. Hopefully she’ll drop a video or live performance to peak our interest. I remember the days where people were scared to release at the same time now look everybody releasing lol. Watch Nicki drop next.
Not “Versbttm” 😭 What is wrong with y’all!!!
SCREAMING! 🤣🤣🤣
Britney & Christina Aguillera are the same age as Beyonce. Kim Kardashian is one year older than them Both. Are these women OLD LADIES ?? .. They’re 40, & 41. JENNIFER LOPEZ and HALLE BERRY are 53!! for God’s sake & was Still swingin on a dam pole. Hell, Beyonce’s a BABY Compared to Them.***
Cues in Beyoncé- “Black Parade”
Horsewoman or heritage. You decide!
Looks stunning as usual💅🏾 Diva approved this 💯 giving me some sci fi vibe hunnie
She looks muhfuckin good 🔥
Flop
Bey looks amazing! I can’t wait to hear what Renaissance has to offer and I know she has some tricks up her sleeve. Sneaky self.🤣
Get it Meg!
Love the cover and the expectations for this album. Bring on Leo season and RENAISSANCE
JUST BROKE MY SOUL! 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
I prefer the epic black/red Vougue Cover way more than this one which is Too Pretty and Boring where as the Cover was DYNAMIC and eye catching…
The song Albeit Catchy in its own right with a great message
still is a NO 😂. The Album clearly isnt done yet if BREAK MY SOUL is even worthy of being on it let alone as the 1st Single.
Sasha Fierce must be Rolling over in her grave. I’m scared to listen to the rest. 😂
Perhaps all the Fat and BLUBBER is clogging up Yo Ears. 🤭
Yassss!!! I looveee it. I’m waiting on the video. I know she finna EATTTT!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I see beyondfake is still trying to make fetch happen…
Cover your self up….
If you’re supposed to the greatest singer and entertainer of all time
Why the f*** are you always naked
Update yo picture b**** it’s 2022 not 2008
I don’t know about this album cover. Given how uptempo and high energy the single is, I was definitely expecting more color and not… Beyonce sitting on an x-ray of a horse 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
Not x-ray chiiiiile 🤣
The album cover is WACK AF!
Chile not a horse x-ray! 😂😂😂😂😂😂I can’t with y’all 😂😂😂😂😂
This might be her worse Album Cover and Self Titled didn’t even have one.
Sasha Fierce must be Rolling over in her grave. I’m scared to listen to the rest after FLOP MY SOUL! 😂 😂 😭
After truly EPIC songs like BE ALIVE & OTHERSIDE and even SAVAGE I thought Beys Ear 👂 for Music was at its Peak. I thought Break My Soul would Sound like 4 or Freedom on Hydrolics but instead we got Chromatica which too was GARBAGE. 😂
#RETURN TO SENDER 😠
No. Just, no. Looks like a cheap version of Gaga’s “Born This Way” cover. Hope she has better tricks up her sleeve to sell this album because real talk, this cover is horrible.
WHERE Is Matthew Knowles??? 😂
Bey gearing herself up for CAREER S******. 😭
Black Parade was more promising than this entire Era so far. 😭
Perhaps all that Fat and BLUBBER is clogging up to Ears.😳
I think she may release the video tonight!! Hopefully
LLLMMMMFFFFFAAAOOOOOOOOOOO
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is all YOUR fault!
All that Haterade you drink done spilled over and leaked into B7! 😂
Now THE QUEEN is about to Flop like a fish out of Water lol 😂 😂 😂
Bwahahahahaha 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Y’all all talk about her age as if we all won’t get there someday lol. Hopefully ur lucky to reach that number, and with her amount of success, that’s if you’re verrrry lucky. Otherwise all you bum biitches are FLOPS. AND BROKE. Beyonce bout to rain on Cardi’s parade 🤧🤣🤣🤣 HOT DOOKEY 💩🔥 sounds sooo bad. We all heard the snippet. This won’t do well without a music video 💀
Must be a female horse. Diva don’t see any horse size d in the artwork💅🏾
This is gearing up to be her best album yet. Now why are there no vinyl pre-orders?
No worries, the vinyl pre-orders are now up so I’ve just pre-ordered mine. Limited edition so get your’s now!
In the battle of Shayla Queen™ 1👑 VS Shayla Queen™ 👑 2 i declare Shayla Queen™ 👑 3 as the Winner. 😂
😍 THE QUEEN IS BACK 😍
This Cover looks EPIC 😍
Even tho Break my Soul is Bland and probably the worse song on Renaissance I still hope the album sells 1,000,000 on the 1st day so THE QUEEN can get that first DIAMOND PLAQ And also OutSell 30 by Adele.
The Renaissance STADIUM Tour will be EPIC. Cardi B can be the opening Act.
Not Cardi B opening act 🤣🤣🤣🤣
45 mins to get all dressed up
The album cover is awful. What is she implying? That she’s ON TOP, lol It’s always some symbolic sh*t. Her TEAM need to step in ASAP. The cover is cheap and generic AF. She is looking like Sheeva from Mortal Kombat w/ that outfit & those hard muscular breast.
This is how I know Beyonce isn’t the brains behind her career. Once she starts firing & replacing ppl, you notice immediately. However there’s no denying, she’s an amazing sorcerer. That’s why I run…when she comes, lol
If you knew so much, but you would be in her position, but you’re BROKE and commenting under a z-list blog 🤣🤣🤣 Beyoncé will never hear of this. She literally is filthy rich and has the entire world by the balls 🌎🌎 Ur gonna have to deal with that
DRAG that Fake Pïss lmaoooooooooo 🤣
Yet I have defended Beyonce when ppl called her a FLOP. She’s a very successful woman, there is no denying this. Her & Jay are Billionaires & I admire what they’ve created together.
However outside of ENTERTAINING, I see a difference when Beyonce approve her work Vs. the CREATIVE TEAM.
The fact Beyonce would approve such an awful album cover given the amount of work put into her visuals, should shock her fans also. This is NOT something Creative individuals would agree to.
Boy shut up, I am a creative. And you’ve gotta be a fool to think a Virgo, matter fact THEE VIRGO BEYONCÉ allowed someone to take control of anything she does lol. She is in FULL CONTROL. These decisions were executed by her authority. This is what she wants, and we’re gonna have to accept it. Whether we like it or not. I do think it’s plain Jane, but it’s not horrible. She only get’s this much hate, becuz on the flip side a lot of people love her. Gotta love to hate her too.
Never suggested she doesn’t have control. I said the quality and direction of her work changes based on who she has around her.
When Michael quite the Jackson 5, his career absolutely exploded, w/ him releasing the best selling album of all time.
Beyoncé has enjoyed success, never soared past other POP stars like we’ve seen w/ Michael or Lionel Richie tho. Of course hooking up w/ Jay-Z helped elevate her to Billionaire status.
And there is NOTHING wrong w/ this. But the fact is…she needs CREATIVE ppl around.
Lol like seriously, who the hell is on her team, and WHY didn’t they tell her that this is the worst possible cover she could have come up with? I’m no beyonce fan, but I’m kinda pissed at how cheap & lazy this looks for someone of the caliber people thinks she is.
Of you’re not a fan, why does it matter?
*If
Exactly, if you’re not a fan, just shut the fuuck up lol. It wasn’t made for you to like dummy. They all try to say “so called” lol Bey been doing this s*** since I was 5, she clearly OWNS US ALL 🤣 WHO RUN THE WORLD?
@Gworl Bye
This!
Many ppl didn’t like “BMS” but I personally didn’t think it was nearly as bad as Drake’s take on House Music. At least she stuck w/ the traditional sound. But this album cover is truly awful. I can’t even defend this mess.
Most of us think she looks GORGEOUS here. Only jealous Haters like you would take the time to type out all this negative garbage. But like the Queen said. You know you dat B**** when you cause this much conversation. 👑***
Beyoncé is attractive but the album cover and those breast make her look cheap, tacky.
You know all about cheap and tacky.
Beyoncé is pretty. Unfortunately she can’t sell a clothing line.
Don’t check me, check out the clothing boo. One of the outfits has the whole a$$ cut out. I’m sure you’ll LOVE that, lol
This about to be the biggest flop of her career
200k SPS
If she pulls her usual secretive stunts
245k SPS
😭
Amerie stan??????????????? 😶
Guess they are choosing quality over quantity. Amerie certainly has the better discography.
Damn i seen all over a lot of people don’t like it on many different blogs etc 😂😂😂😂
Ghetto blogs, dear.
Naw even twitter people are not impressed
Yes, black Twitter. Same difference.
@Dc did you also see ppl’s DISLIKE for HOT DOOKEY 🔥💩 they are literally shiiting on it LOL. Her verse was whack, straight out of a NICKI playbook, but without the BARZ. And of course, she would use the word OP becuz she’s literally OBSESSED. “How you don’t like me but do everything like me…THAT IS WHAT GET’S ME” Drag that botched biitch. HOT DOOKEY will FLOP worse than her last single DOO DOO BROWN touch the ground (SHAKE IT) I hope Beyoncé drop BMS music video tonight 🤣
They when you are successful people will dissect everything you do searching for a reason for God choosing you. Why you they say. They search for logic but can’t wrap their brain around it. Forgetting or ignorant to the struggles, pain, stress etc it took to get to the said top and maintain said status. Beyoncé is a master at her craft. She can do what the f*** she wants with her platform. If you don’t like it pray about it because the Almighty is always listening. Or kick rocks while the devil continues to rein supreme over your mind. Either way life goes on and you’ve changed nothing.
So dissappionting
This can literally be any one of her Instagram pics she posts on a normal day
She was sitting on a horse in the ALREADY music video. This same hair style and pose and facial expression
Still better than Camicky’s cover art for FLOPMILIA. Wasn’t hers a photo of her empty apartment when it got repossessed by the IRS? Like what was she thinking?? 🤣🤣🤣
Normani: I have the name of my album
She tweeted this 4 years ago
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So what fuuuck her 😂 I got Bey back lmaoo! Your fav is still HOT TRASH 🔥💩
Now ur running to beyonce, why?
Beyonce has no business with Camila.
They are not in the same league
Show us normani’s album cover
I’m not asking for an album,
I am asking for an album cover
SHOW US NORMANI’S ALBUM cover
The barest minimum and u still cant do it
The ugly manly chìmp u stan cant even chart. Lol
TGJ needs to do something about these damn spam accounts
Beyonce definitely got those titties done. I dont wanna hear anybody talking about the twins giving her those….f*&k outta here lol
It’s giving Joselines cabaret. Very tacky.
It does!
The cover somehow managed to Grow on me already. The Hologram Horse does match the Renaissance theme as does riding one. 😍
The Cover is Simple while still having a risky prop and not at all similar to any of her other covers nor is it similar to any album cover that comes to mind.
It certainly isn’t giving “trying too hard” like Gaga which is another plus. Definitely beats any Face or up close Cover or sitting on a chair. Artsy without over doing it and Simple without being too simple. 🤠
(The song will never grow on me tho cause the beat alone is redundant.) 😂
Pre-order your vinyl copy!
Best album cover of the year thus far!
I’m not feeling it.
It’s giving cheap. Even her hair is giving Richmond Beauty Supply
ima n** to tha pic yo
NICKI GOT ALL THESE HOS GETTING THEIR BODYS DONE! LMAO EVERYONE WANTS TO LOOK JUST LIKE NICKI!!!!! BEFLOP IS ALMOST 30 YEARS IN THE GAME AND STILL NEVER WENT DIAMOND?! BWAHAHAHA FLOP!
I love it! 😍😍
I always thought Beyoncé should have played Wonder Woman
About 13 yrs ago, her body ready now for the role. She can be Wonder Woman from another Dimension.
But who will play her when it comes time for the acting parts??
She is depicting Lady Godiva. Beyoncés horse represents death or conquest from the 4 horsemen in the book of revelation but in the occult it represents feminine power and the moon so it is depicting her as a moon goddess. And one more thing is that Lady Godiva painting will always look beautiful. Beyoncé looks ugly because she is completely fake. Fake b******, fake hair etc.
@ Farrahs Luggage
You won’t “BREAK HER SOUL”
😊
She is a talented singer and dancer but this is ridiculous. There is a reason you won’t be seeing Jay Z naked on a holographic horse. Being n*** with yards of fake blond weave pretending to be Lady Godiva is not in sync with her liner notes and sounds very disingenuous.. Why does Beyond continually imitate Gaga? Can’t she accept her success without all the bump/grind/strip-show motif? She hasn’t done black girls or women any favors nor has she helped her two daughters with this display. In 20 years, will Roomy and Blew wonder why their mother chose, at 40 years of age, to undress herself, snarl at the camera and straddle a fake phallus saddle? Sir will likely wonder as well, but at least he won’t have to ask his dad why they didn’t do tandem piaffing. Truly baffling as tho she refuses to grow up despite telling everyone she is ‘grown ass’.
