Beyoncé won four Grammy Awards for her 2022 album Renaissance.
At the 65th Annual Grammy Awards in 2023, Renaissance won Best Dance/Electronic Music Album, making Beyoncé the first woman to receive that category’s award. The album also produced the single “Break My Soul,” which won Best Dance/Electronic Recording and Best R&B Performance.
Its fourth Grammy was awarded to “Plastic Off the Sofa,” which won Best Traditional R&B Performance. These victories helped make the Renaissance era especially important in Beyoncé’s Grammy history.
The album was released on July 29, 2022, as the first act in a planned three-part project. Its music draws on house, disco, funk, and dance traditions, with many samples and interpolations. Renaissance is sometimes described only as a pop album, but its Grammy categories reflect its strong connection to dance and electronic music.
