But not even the most devoted member of the Beyhive could’ve predicted how thoroughly the 40-year-old superstar would follow through on her promise with the wild and ravishing “Renaissance,” which came out Friday and immediately reshaped the conversation about 2022’s most important music.Īfter just a couple of days, the wiggle seems so far out of the box that it’s hard to imagine anybody ever putting it back inside.
What Beyoncé meant is that she wants these songs to help folks find the encouragement to be their truest selves the jubilant drive of the album’s 1990s-house-inspired lead single, “ Break My Soul” (which also incorporates Big Freedia’s command), foretold a powerful effort built on dance-music styles created by Black and queer people over the past several decades.
When Beyoncé told fans about her seventh solo studio album, “Renaissance” - and let’s just say right here that as far as seventh albums go, this one feels like as big a swing as “Born in the U.S.A.” or “Ray of Light” or “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” - she said she hoped the music would lead them to “release the wiggle,” a lovable phrase borrowed from the New Orleans bounce-music trailblazer Big Freedia.
