Renaissance earned Beyoncé her first Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album.
Released in 2022, Renaissance is Beyoncé’s seventh studio album and the first part of a planned trilogy. It draws heavily on house, disco, funk, and dance music, with “Break My Soul” serving as its lead single.
At the 65th Grammy Awards in 2023, Renaissance won Best Dance/Electronic Music Album. The award was historically notable because it represented Beyoncé’s first win in that category and contributed to her record total of Grammy victories.
The album is sometimes confused with Cowboy Carter, which belongs to a later project and explores country and Americana influences. Renaissance is the dance-focused 2022 release, while Cowboy Carter was released in 2024.
