The-Dream Dishes on Beyonce Recording ‘Break My Soul’: “It’s Personal to Her”

Beyonce and The-Dream have established a long and fruitful creative partnership that has gifted the world classics such as ‘Single Ladies’ and ‘Run The World (Girls).’

Their latest offering is global smash ‘Break My Soul’ – the lead single from Queen Bey’s upcoming album ‘Renaissance.’

As excited fans await the LP, The-Dream is opening up about the process of recording the track.

Full story below…

Speaking with fellow ‘Renaissance’ producer Nile Rodgers on Apple Music’s Deep Hidden Meaning Radio, the hitmaker said:

“Some of these songs, people think they’re written on the spot, or maybe months ago. But you know as well as I do, a song can be five years old, three years old, 10, they can go back, so you just never know exactly when that song was written.

I’ll definitely say it wasn’t like [‘Break My Soul’] was written yesterday. Some of these songs, you have to just wait for a special moment. It was a song for her, definitely. I can’t wait until she tells the story about how personal it is to her when she actually tried to record it the first time, because there’s just such a deeper meaning literally behind this song for her, and I can’t wait for her to express it.”

He went on to add:

“‘Break My Soul’ was just how I felt like the world feels. I don’t think I carry myself in that way where people look at me. In my mind, I’m thinking about these things. Most of the time, I think they think I’m this absent-minded R&B singer. It’s like, no, man, I’m a writer. I really understand. I listen to Nietzsche in my time off. I actually try to educate myself to the max about people and human beings and how we feel, what’s real joy, what’s real love. ‘Break My Soul’ is one of those.

These personal things that are deep in there, like in the soul, and when you talk to these artists that are great, the greatest ones allow you to do it and we work forever, and so that’s where those relationships come from, where we’re working forever because it’s an ongoing documentary for life. It’s not me and my sister, Bey. That’s my sister. It’s not going to end.”

‘Renaissance’ arrives on July 29.
