Beyoncé announced Renaissance, her first solo studio album since 2016’s Lemonade, in mid-June. On June 30, Beyoncé revealed the cover art for the album- an image that recalls both John Collier’s Lady Godiva painting along with a photograph of Bianca Jagger entering Studio 54 on a white horse to mark her 30th birthday.
In the caption, Beyoncé expressed how creating this album allowed her to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. She wrote, “Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world. It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration. I hope you find joy in this music. I hope it inspires you to release the wiggle. Ha! And to feel as unique, strong, and sexy as you are.”
Beyoncé’s Renaissance album is slated to drop on July 29.
