It’s the Queenly collaboration sure to break the internet.
Just a week after Beyonce released her long-awaited seventh studio album, ‘Renaissance’ (featuring the breakout hit ‘Break My Soul’), the diva – already set to make a historic debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 next week – is ensuring the spot is cemented by calling on Queen of Pop Madonna to assist on the official ‘Soul’ remix.
Having already decided to capitalize on the momentum of ‘Soul’ via the release of an EP full of remixes earlier this week, Bey has sent excitement for the cut into overdrive with the release of the Madge-assisted version.
Lined with an interpolation of the latter’s legendary hit ‘Vogue,’ Bey flipped the original’s iconic rap (which served as an ode to the Golden Age of Hollywood) to toast the Black Queens of music history.
“Rosetta Tharpe, Santigold, Bessie Smith, Nina Simone, Betty Davis, Solange Knowles, Badu, Lizzo, Kelly Rowl[and], Lauryn Hill, Roberta Flack, Toni, Janet, Tierra Whack, Missy, Diana, Grace Jones, Aretha, Anita, Grace Jones…”
Other names dropped include Erykah Badu, Kelis, Sade, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Whitney Houston, Aaliyah, Destiny’s Child alum Michelle Williams, and Chloe & Halle Bailey.
What’s more, the sizzling remix sees Bey raise a glass to a number of legendary ballroom houses that brought the scene to the national stage including Labeija, Mizrahi, and more.
The unexpected drop is only upping the ante in anticipation for the official ‘Soul’ music video, which is said to be coming soon.
One thing about Bey she’s always gonna celebrate the legends who came before her. These new girls should take notes.
What about Tina t and Whitney Houston? No mariah mention?! Patti labelle?! If u gonna do it, so it right
It’s almost impossible to mention everyone, the whole song would be a string of name drops. Good that she mentioned so many, including some who are often overlooked.
The second part she mentions more people I didnt hear mariah but heard alliyah Whitney riri and nicki
All these for attention. Not that she care about any of these artist.
She has stolen from each and everyone one them though.
Like Kelis said fake women empowerment and hypocrisy. She does anything that make her appear innocent.
its true. beyonces moves does not strike as authentic to me honestly
LMAOOO THE DESPERATION IS REAL LMAOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It goes;
Queen Mother Madonna, Aaliyah, Rosetta Tharpe, Santigold, Bessie Smith, Nina Simone, Betty Davis, Solange Knowles, Badu this, so Kelly Rowl… Lauryn Hill, Roberta Flack, Toni, Janet, Tierra Wack. Missy, Diana, Grace Jones, Aretha, Anita, Grace Jones.” She also mentions her fellow Destiny’s Child bandmate Michelle Williams, Parkwood Entertainment signees Chloe x Halle, Alicia Keys, Whitney Houston, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj before naming legendary ballroom houses, including House of Revlon, House of LaBeija, House of Amazon, House of Balmain, House of Miyake-Mugler and House of Balenciaga.
No Mary she’s mad Mary sold 750,000 first week and she can’t thought her and Mary were cool
Shut up about Mary and those damn album sales from 17 YEARS AGO!!!!! lmaoooooooooo 🤣
In 17 years Beyonce can’t do 750,000 in a week with 250 million Instagram followers.
Crackney can’t even record anything new because she’s dead and even before she died she’d lost her voice anyway from smoking too much crack.
@Shayla can’t believe we used to bicker cause I’m living for you dragging this fool 🤣
Mary sold more than Toni and erykah and they were mentioned Beyoncé wack ass
@Paulo he’s as dumb as that corpse he speaks of lmaoooooooooo 🤣
Can’t hit number 1 without 50 remixes 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Dc: this is how I feel. WHY all these remixes? And for all the black empowerment she has been espousing she says “Queen Mother Madonna”?????? Hmmmm…
Because this song is for the gay community, not the black community. The gay community bought this album in dozens, us blacks left it on the shelves. And yes Madonna is the Queen Mother of the gay community, is she not? She’s an honorary icon mother because she did all this gay-pandering decades before Beyonce. So that’s why
@Messy Gangsta: as a gay man, I’m here to say Madonna is not and never has been my “queen mother”. And it seems to be disingenuous to Beyoncé “black power” brand to give Madonna lead props. But just my opinion…prefer the original BMS to these 90 trillion remixes.
As a gay man Madonna is absolutely not my queen mother. The omission of Mariah is crazy; Mariah gave Jay-z his first number one on billboard, Bey has said many times Mariah is the reason she sings, and that Mariah’s voice comes from god. Also, no Mary is insane.
Keith and Matty are just jealous Janet stans aka pathetic janitors that have always hated madonna because she has out sold and out lasted their fav. For 40 plus years now. Everyone knows Madonna is the first and only artist to feature the gay community in her videos and stand up for gay rights until those like Janet saw it as the best way to stay relevant when the straight community no longer buy your albums. Madonna there is no need to defend madonna on her part to fight for the black community as well because only the ignorant ignore videos like like a prayer. Madonna attended 2 black lives Matter marches while Janet didn’t attend 1. So Matty and Keith can f**k off with their dumb opinions on why madonna was mentioned.
Because madonna is the queen period to those of us that were alive to see what madonna did for the gay and black community. Just you are ignorant and slow about these things doesn’t mean the rest of the gay community is. Maybe when you learn to read or get your GED you can research Queen Mother Madonna.
Ermmmmm Sorry but Toni deserves all the flowers
Why are you sorry?
The Queens Remix! It’s cute I love it. I know people will trip over who got left out but I’m kinda surprised she gave Santigold a shout out too
I agree @Fake Paulo
😂 girl MOVE out the way
I like the new and improved Paulo, much better than that old h** Paula.
Two Queens cuming together.
She forgot to shout out Satan 👹 🤘 👌 Her good friend.
You sound jealous. Go steam Kelis’ music, see if you can get her on a chart somewhere, you sound just as salty as her
She’s independent and runs acres of land she’s good ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾 Maybe u can write her on ig and ask her to milk a cow for income
Vouge is what she needed to make in this new album but there is nothing in it that could hold up to that song, and that’s the problem. She had all the resources all the producers all the money to make that but gave us this? That’s a problem.
And now she is pimping this song with lot’s of lazzzy remixes because she had to get a number 1.
She didn’t make a dance classic that close to milkshake vouge or even one of Kellys dance songs with David Guetta…
Her clothing style is nothing close to kelis Aaliyah Rihanna Grace Jones Gaga…
That’s a problem
If you are Beyonce the queen you say you are , you sould have make an album bigger than that.
Thats a lazy alby from someone in her status
That’s all I’m saying.
Whewwwwwwww Chile!!!!! Haterz be up early convulsing, wondering how they gon’ make it to the shower without takin they eyes off the innernet for news about their tormentor. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haterz Say:
1. She’s doing too many remixes!
(Do you know how many remixes others have issued for their singles before Beyoncé??! Janet? Mariah? Madonna? Michael? Prince? Any pop artist?)
2. She’s desperate and needed Madonna to get to number 1!!
(And yet a remix does not infringe on chart rules? 🤔 What exactly is your concern? So many others have collaborated with Madonna, who can also say NO btw – most of your faves could not get Madonna to say yes to a remix like this ….)
3. All this is Beyoncé seeking attention!!!!
(And yet this is why you work in Burger King 🍔 and Bey has a creative team who know how to effectively execute marketing and A&R so that her name remains in your mouth, and in your dreams 💁🏾♀️)
So while we grab the popcorn 🍿 and watch the meltdowns, know that Beyoncé always understands the brief: “You know you’re that bÎtçh when you cause all this conversation”….
As you were haterz. As, you, werrrrr…
😌🎧💅🏽
If Beyonce had simply stood in her “I stop the world” stance and not done something as blatant as all these remixes then people wouldn’t scrutinize it so. The other artists you mentioned were very transparent about wanting to sell records and conquer formats. She and that crazy tail BeyHive like to pretend she’s above it all. When CLEARLY she isn’t LOL…
If her marketing team had been on their game, then Beyonce wouldnt have had to make TWO CHANGES to an album AFTER IT’S RELEASE 😂😂😂😂
Gworl shut the hell up. If y’all weren’t complaining about SPAZ she wouldn’t have to change nothing. Y’all some sensitive ass f a g s that’s all
The oh baby baby right before the chorus in bms is a classic Janet adlib as well. I can’t help but notice it
Totally!
Damn no Mariah as If she’s not a black woman in music. I guess this is what Mariah goes through, her own people not accepting her
If someone else out out this album it woulda been labeled trash and floppped.just because it Beyoncé and she can do no wrong ( people brought it no matter what).No videos amd the best song being ( break my soul ) and remix with Madonna. Two high ranked Illuminati witches together.Bey always be a hypocrite .I’d prefer Rihanna music any day and she always been jealous of her. Rihanna has 14 number ones and Mariah 19 but Clive named her the queen of music? Naw the queen of witchcraft and sacrifices maybe a few spots under Madonna. I remember when she was sweet, humble and put out hits .since Jay z she became dark,sexual, and different.
Grapejuice, you have some nasty ass VILE bottom feeders in your comment section. Its hard to believe that human beings can be so cruel and disgusting.
People don’t seem to realize that the Queen isn’t just Madonna. Whilst I grew up on Madonna’s music, I was a fan of Janet before she started doing music. However, once Janet’s music career kicked off, I was a fan of her first two albums. So, in the words of Lizzo and many others, Janet is our QUEEN! There are many ppl in denial but one has to admit, Madonna could never out perform Janet!
