What was the title of Beyoncé's 2022 album led by “Break My Soul”?

Beyoncé's 2022 album led by “Break My Soul” was Renaissance. It was released on July 29, 2022, as the first act of a planned three-part project.

The album marked a strong turn toward house, disco, dance-pop, and other club-oriented sounds. “Break My Soul” became its lead single, while later tracks such as “Cuff It” and “America Has a Problem” helped define the record's broad dance-music palette.

Renaissance draws on and credits a large network of performers and songwriters, including artists connected with disco, house, funk, and queer club culture. Its production also incorporates samples and interpolations from earlier dance recordings.

The album received the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album at the 65th ceremony in 2023. It is sometimes confused with later Beyoncé releases because of the multi-act project structure, but Renaissance is specifically the first act and the album containing “Break My Soul.”
