Beyoncé strikes a Bianca Jagger-esque posture for the first time since her long-awaited comeback to the music industry

If there’s one thing Beyoncé knows how to do, it impresses. Especially with her poses, which always have carefully thought out references to mythical characters or deities. The last occasion has been no less, the singer released her first single in six years by surprise this month in which she had not released solo music, only collaborations such as the one she did with her husband, Jay Z, under the artistic name of The Carters. It’s called Break my soul and it’s a great disco-style song with which the singer seeks to return to her position as one of the great divas of the current industry. So she has climbed on a holographic horse with a metallic bikini, as if she were a true Greek Amazon or as if she had returned to Studio 54 and galloped onto the charts. But this is only the first song of a new album that will be released at the end of this month and that already promises a lot!

Renaissance) will be released on July 29. “I intended to create a safe space, where there were no judgments. Where I could be free from perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, let go, feel the freedom”, added the artist, whose latest solo work, Lemonade explored the difficulties she had experienced in her relationship with her partner.

“It was a beautiful journey of exploration.
