Which album did Beyoncé release on July 29, 2022?

Beyoncé released Renaissance on July 29, 2022.

Renaissance is her seventh solo studio album and the first installment of a planned trilogy. It marked a strong return to dance, house, disco, and club music, drawing on Black and queer musical traditions. The album’s title also signals a cultural rebirth after the disruption and isolation of the COVID-19 era.

Its lead single, “Break My Soul,” became Beyoncé’s first solo Billboard Hot 100 number-one single since “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” in 2008. Other tracks include “Cuff It,” “Alien Superstar,” and “Virgo’s Groove.”

Renaissance received nine Grammy nominations and won four awards at the 65th ceremony. It is distinct from Cowboy Carter, the country and Americana-influenced second act of the trilogy, released in 2024. Renaissance’s cover art and campaign emphasized a glittering, club-oriented visual identity.
