Ethan Shanfeld Beyoncé’s critically acclaimed “Renaissance” album has only been out a week, but the pop titan is already gifting fans with more to dance to.On Wednesday, the singer released an EP of “Break My Soul” remixes by Will.I.Am, Terry Hunter, Honey Dijon and Nita Aviance. Today, Beyoncé dropped yet another spin on the disco-inspired single, featuring none other than Madonna. However, it appears that Madonna did not record anything new for the remix beyond (possibly) a few spoken words, but rather had snippets of previously released, decades-old songs, particularly “Vogue,” dropped in.As of now, “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)” is only available on Bey’s online shop for $1.29.

Beyoncé has today (August 4) released a surprise four-song EP of remixes for her ‘Renaissance’ cut ‘Break My Soul’. Listen below.Comprised of four revamped cuts of the titular lead single, the EP enlists Honey Dijon, will.i.am, Terry Hunter and Nita Aviance, who each offer different versions of the song.For his part, The Black Eyed Peas frontman distills the track’s core bounce beat, while Hunter adds church organs for a more ethereal take on the album’s distinct ballroom sound.Meanwhile, both Aviance and Dijon extend the original song’s runtime beyond the six minute mark, offering trance cadences and tribal drum beats, respectively.

Twitter yesterday to comment on Beyonce's new album Renaissance but did not directly name the singer's the album.The American songwriter was heavily criticised, leading to a public apology from Diane, admitting she meant "no disrespect".Beyonce's new album Renaissance was released this week and has already been climbing up the album charts.However, fellow songwriter and singer Diane took to Twitter to comment on the fact that Beyonce had 24 writers on one song on her new album.Diane, confused by the idea, wrote on the micro-blogging site yesterday: "How can there be 24 writers on a song?"The tweet was likely referring to the song Alien Superstar which credits two dozen writers including the likes of Honey Dijon, Jay Z, Lucky Daye and Labrinth.Many social media users rushed to the comments to call out the singer for rejecting the notion that great art is created in solitude.The Dream and co-producer on Beyonce's hit Break My Soul commented: "You mean how’s does our (Black) culture have so many writers, well it started because we couldn’t afford certain things starting out, so we started sampling and it became an Artform, a major part of the Black Culture (hip hop) in America."Had that era not happened, who knows. U good?" (sic)Diane replied: "I didn't mean that as an attack or as disrespect."I didn't know this, thank U for making me aware of it.

Diane Warren has apologised after making controversial comments about the numbers of co-writers on Beyoncé‘s new album, ‘Renaissance’.On Monday (August 1), Warren tweeted, “How can there be 24 writers on a song?” alongside an eye-roll emoji. The tweet was likely referring to ‘Alien Superstar’, a song on ‘Renaissance’ which credits two dozen songwriters.Those include the likes of Honey Dijon, Jay-Z, Lucky Daye, Labrinth and 070 Shake, but many of the credits are also due to sampling and interpolation of other artists’ songs.

Ilana Kaplan Six years after the release of Beyoncé’s magnum opus “Lemonade,” the pop icon has come through again: giving us all something to talk about. The long-anticipated “Renaissance” (volume one of three) is sticky, sweaty, hedonistic art — flanked by a pastiche of genres that never lingers on long enough for the listener to get too comfortable.It’s what makes the collection its own kind of masterpiece: beauty in the chaos.

Ethan Shanfeld New York City nightlife and drag queen legend Kevin Aviance didn’t know Beyoncé sampled his song “C—y” on her new album “Renaissance” until a friend reached out to him late Thursday night.“She sent me the track and the credits and said, ‘What is this?’” Aviance told me Friday afternoon. “And then my phone was blowing up.

Beyoncé is officially available on all major streaming platforms.From her own label Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records, Renaissance arrives six years after the surprise release of Lemonade in 2016. Filled with several anthems that resonate with everyone, Beyoncé’s new album delves inside the mind of an artist who continues to push the envelope of creativity, and encourages unimaginable jubilation, agency, and movement with abandon.“Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world,” says Beyoncé.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorBeyonce has revealed the credits for her forthcoming seventh full-length solo album “Renaissance,” and they’re every bit as star-studded and envelope-pushing as you’d expect, a mixture of household names like Drake, Jay-Z and Pharrell, veteran hitmakers like The-Dream, Raphael Saadiq, Hit Boy, Mike Dean and Nova Wave, and some unknowns who are having their first entries on Genius.com.Based on the songwriting credits revealed in Apple Music — with a few typos — collaborators include:Drake, on the song “Heated,” Jay-Z, with credits on three songs, Pharrell Williams, likely in collaboration with his Neptunes partner Chad Hugo (the name “Chad” appears at the end of the credits for song “Energy”), Nigerian singer Tems, Solange/ D’Angelo collaborator Raphael Saadiq, R&B chanteuse Sabrina Claudio, Longtime Beyonce collaborator The-Dream (“Single Ladies,” “Who Run the World (Girls)”) on multiple songs, Longtime Jay-Z/ Kanye West collaborator No I.D., Songwriting/production duo Nova Wav (Denisia “Blu June” Andrews and Brittany “@Chi_Coney” Coney), PC Records founder and Charli XCX collaborator A.
