It’s good news for Beyoncé fans.
The singer announced on Thursday that she was returning with her first solo album in six years, Renaissance, set to be released on July 29. It was then revealed that she’d be releasing the first single off the LP, “Break My Soul”, Monday at midnight.
The news was confirmed on Bey’s social media accounts, though not in an actual post.

Beyoncé told Harper’s Bazaar last year of her new music, “With all the isolation and injustice over the past year, I think we are all ready to escape, travel, love, and laugh again.
“I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible. I’ve been in the studio for a year and a half.”
She went on, “Sometimes it takes a year for me to personally search through thousands of sounds to find just the right kick or snare. One chorus can have up to 200 stacked harmonies.
“Still, there’s nothing like the amount of love, passion, and healing that I feel in the recording studio. After 31 years, it feels just as exciting as it did when I was nine years old. Yes, the music is coming!”
