Beyonce has officially released her new album RENAISSANCE. It marks her first studio album in 6 years, the follow up to 2016’s critically acclaimed Lemonade.
The 16-song album is now out in various international markets around the world including New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand among others — basically everywhere it’s already midnight Thursday at the time of publishing of this article. The album will be released in North America at midnight ET local time.
The album leaked about 36 hours before its official release date but Columbia Records (Sony) was able to curtail the spread to a good degree.
Renaissance has contributions from The-Dream, Pharrell Williams, Hit-Boy, Jay-Z, Drake, Nija Charles, 070 Shake, P2J, Labrinth, Skrillex, A.G. Cook, Nile Rodgers, Lucky Daye, Tems, Syd, LilJuMadeDaBeat, Sabrina Claudio, Tricky Stewart, Denisia “Blu June” Andrews, Symbolyc One, Moi Renee, Raphael Saadiq and more. See the full list here.
