Beyoncé conceived and recorded Renaissance during the COVID-19 pandemic, seeking to inspire joy and escapism in listeners who had experienced isolation and to celebrate a club era in which marginalized people sought liberation through dance music. With its songs seamlessly arranged like a DJ mix, the album blends post-1970s Black dance music styles such as disco and house and pays homage to the Black and queer pioneers of those genres. The album's lyrical content explores themes of escapism, hedonism, self-assurance and self-expression.

The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, Beyoncé's seventh consecutive album to do so, and is certified platinum. It also reached number one in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The platinum-certified lead single "Break My Soul" was released on June 20, 2022, and reached number one on several charts worldwide, including the US Billboard Hot 100. The album's second single "Cuff It" peaked in the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 and internationally.

The album received universal acclaim from music critics for its eclectic yet cohesive sound, joyous mood, and Beyoncé's vocal performance. It became the best-rated album of 2022, named the best album of the year by publications such as the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, NPR, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone. Renaissance and its songs garnered nine nominations at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards (including Album of the Year) and won four awards, including Best Dance/Electronic Album, making Beyoncé the most awarded artist in the Grammy Awards history. In promotion of the album, Beyoncé embarked on the Renaissance World Tour, and released an accompanying documentary concert film.

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.

In the latter half of the 2010s, Beyoncé released several critically acclaimed, narrative-driven[4] projects that explored the legacies of Black musicians and artists,[5] including 2016's Lemonade; her 2018 Coachella performance and the Netflix film and live album that documented it; and 2019's The Lion King soundtrack album The Gift and its visual companion, 2020's Black Is King.[6]

Beyoncé sought inspiration in post-1970s Black ball culture, dance music and club culture.[9] Beyoncé noted that she was largely introduced to this culture by her "Uncle" Jonny, her gay cousin[a] who helped raise her until his death during the AIDS epidemic.[10][11][12] Further, she wanted the album to be a celebration of the underappreciated pioneers of dance music, whose contributions had been unrecognized in the mainstream.[13]

On June 30, 2022, Beyoncé revealed the album's cover art, shot by fashion photographer Carlijn Jacobs, on her social media accounts. In the image, she is seated atop a "glowing", "holographic", "crystal horse" (dubbed "Reneigh" by fans[14][15][16]) in a "futuristic, centipede-ish bikini".[17] Critics interpreted the equestrian pose as an allusion both to John Collier's 1897 painting Lady Godiva and to photographs of Bianca Jagger riding a horse into Studio 54.[18][19] Beyoncé's garment was designed by Nusi Quero and is reminiscent of the crystal top she wore on the 2003 Dangerously in Love cover.[20]

Lyrically, Renaissance contains themes of escapism, self-assurance, self-expression, hedonism and pleasure,[28][40][41] with Beyoncé inspiring joy and confidence in listeners.[42] According to The Guardian, it "urg[es] listeners to wholeheartedly embrace pleasure", particularly referencing joy in Black culture.[23] The album's lyrics emphasize dance as both a measure of personal catharsis and a liberating spiritual practice.[43]

Beyoncé collaborated with, sampled and interpolated several progenitors of dance music on the album, including both mainstream and underground artists. This made the album a celebration of black and queer dance culture, with Vulture's Charlie Harding likening it to "a DJ set curated by house-music pioneers".[44]

Beyoncé began to tease a new album on June 7, 2022, by removing her profile picture from all of her social media platforms.[45][46] Four days later, the text "What is a B7?" appeared on the homepage of the singer's official website.[47] Fans noticed that the website also had placeholders for her upcoming seventh and eighth studio albums.[48] Beyoncé officially announced the album and released the pre-sale for Renaissance on her website and digital streaming platforms the following day.[49][50][51]

After first joining TikTok in December 2021, Beyoncé posted her first video, a compilation of people (including American rapper Cardi B) "dancing, vibing, and singing along" to Renaissance's lead single, "Break My Soul", on July 14, 2022.[52] Further, she made her entire catalog available for use on the platform,[53] attracting significant media attention.[54][55][56] Two days before the scheduled release, on July 27, the album arrived in retailers in France and eventually leaked onto the Internet.[57]

The album was released on July 29, 2022. Upon the album's release, Beyoncé posted a note on her website revealing that Renaissance is the first part of a three-act project that she recorded over the past three years, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[58]

Critics opined that Renaissance appeared to be getting a more conventional rollout than a number of Beyoncé's previous albums, which were surprise releases, an approach Beyoncé herself was credited with popularizing. The New York Times wrote that the album's rollout reflected its throwback themes and music, with Beyoncé eschewing an exclusive digital release and instead releasing elaborate vinyl and CD packages.[59] This ushered in a revival of CD sales, according to Billboard.[60]

However, despite Beyoncé's decision to forego a surprise release, Renaissance's rollout quickly proved to be unconventional and disruptive in several other ways. Beyoncé kept her public appearances to a minimum, foregoing interviews and promotional efforts, and mostly keeping her communication limited to subtle clues, Easter eggs, and messages placed throughout her online media. She has also completely avoided promotional live performances for the album until the Renaissance World Tour. Her only other performance following the album's release was a private concert at Atlantis The Royal in Dubai, UAE in January 2023, but, despite anticipation, the set list did not contain any material from Renaissance. Most notably, Beyoncé has eschewed a traditional release schedule for music videos, and as of September 2023, over a year following the album's release, there remains no official video accompaniment to any of the album's songs and no estimated date for them to be released.

On June 20, 2022, Beyoncé announced the album's lead single, "Break My Soul", would be released at midnight Eastern Time on June 21, to coincide with the 2022 summer solstice.[61][62] The song appeared on music streaming service Tidal hours early, on June 20, and a lyric video was later released on YouTube.[63][64] The song peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100, making it her twelfth total career chart topper (eighth as a solo artist) and her first solo song to do so since "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" in 2008.[65]

On September 21, 2022, Hiphop-n-more reported that "Church Girl" would be released as the album's second single; a week later, it was announced that it would be simultaneously released alongside "Cuff It" as the next two singles.[66] "Church Girl" was scheduled to impact rhythmic contemporary radio on October 4, 2022,[67] but the release failed to materialize whereas "Cuff It" was released as the sole second single, being sent to radio in France on September 28, 2022.[68] It impacted rhythmic and urban contemporary radio stations in the United States on October 4, 2022.[67][69] The song peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the 21st song in her solo career to reach this milestone, and 31st overall.[70] On April 11, 2023, the song became Beyoncé's longest-charting solo Hot 100 hit.[71] Charting for a 34th week on the Hot 100, the song surpassed her previous hit with Lady Gaga, "Telephone" which released in 2010 and charted for 33 weeks.

When Renaissance was first released, Beyoncé stated through a press release that she wanted fans to focus on the music, rather than any visual components, but confirmed that visuals were eventually forthcoming.[73] On August 9, 2022, Beyoncé released a teaser video for the album's opening track, "I'm That Girl", that included a rapid montage of over twenty outfits that news outlets interpreted as previewing the various impending music videos for each track on the album. Some scenes included Beyoncé recreating Moi Renee performing her 1992 song "Miss Honey", Beyoncé and 2 dancers fronting La Conversion de Saint Paul, and Beyoncé in a hedge maze labyrinth.[74][75]
