Which number studio album by Beyoncé is titled Renaissance?

Renaissance is Beyoncé’s seventh studio album.

Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records released Renaissance on July 29, 2022. It was the first act of a planned trilogy and followed Lemonade, which had been released in 2016. The album drew heavily on dance, house, disco, and electronic music traditions.

Its lead single, “Break My Soul,” became Beyoncé’s eighth solo number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. Renaissance received strong critical reviews and won the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.

The album’s position can be confusing because Beyoncé also has live albums, compilation releases, soundtracks, and collaborative projects. Renaissance counts as her seventh studio album of original solo material. Its follow-up, Cowboy Carter, was released in 2024 as the second act of the trilogy.
