Bey announced Renaissance in mid-June, nearly a year after confirming she had been working on her seventh studio album. She also unveiled the project’s official release date as well, along with its Carlijn Jacobs-shot cover art, which shows the singer posing atop a glowing horse.

“Creating 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,” she wrote in a note shared on social media. “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.”

Renaissance will mark Bey’s first solo project since 2016’s Lemonade. Since then, she has also released Everything Is Love with her husband, Jay-Z; Homecoming: The Live Album, which was recorded during her headlining gig at Coachella 2018; and The Lion King: The Gift, a soundtrack for the 2019 Disney remake.

Renaissance will hit streaming services on June 29.
