The wait is over! Beyoncé announced to fans that her newest single hits the public this Tuesday (21). Titled “Break My Soul”, the track is part of the “Renaissance” era, the singer’s seventh solo album.

The 28-time Grammy winner made the announcement via her Instagram profile with more than 264 million followers as she revealed that the sixth track on the disc will be available from 1 am on June 21.

On social media, the artist also published several photos from the shoot to appear on the July cover of British Vogue, which could be part of the promotion of her new project.

Edward Enninful, editor-in-chief of the UK edition, shared details about working with the pop diva. “A fashion fantasy spawned from the tropes of club life during the late 20th century. Mirror balls, light boxes, headdresses? Of course. A horse on the dance floor? Certainly. Junya Watanabe and Harris Reed & Roker boots? Why not.”

“B wanted to play with fashion like never before, and as we exchanged references (from the ’90s garage scene to ’80s excess), chatted about hair and beauty, and met his team, a vision of gleaming retrofuturism began to take hold. shape,” he added.

The detail is that the shoot was made by Brazilian photographer Rafael Pavarotti. According to Vogue, he started the day of filming by gathering everyone in a circle for a moment of prayer together. “It was magical weather and soon B was walking around feeling easy and free to be herself. Her husband and kids came to surprise her on set. It was a family day – albeit a little surreal,” Edward continued.
