What Beyoncé's new album cover tells us about "Renaissance"

When Beyoncé announced her new album Renaissance over a month ahead of its 29 July release, it was clear the superstar was doing away with the surprise element she used for her self-titled album and Lemonade in favour of a proper, traditional capital-r rollout.
As such, we’ve gotten small teases here and there since: a Vogue story hinting at the album’s sound, a lead single in the instant earworm "Break My Soul", and now the album cover, which features a resplendent shot of Beyoncé in a minimalist metallic outfit and riding atop a see-through glowing horse.
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,” Beyonce wrote in the caption.
The statement is consistent with the sound and themes of “Break My Soul,” on which Beyoncé sings about finding a renewed sense of purpose atop a joyous house beat that evokes “Show Me Love” by Robin S.
According to a report in Variety, the album will be part of a multi-part series, hence it being sub-titled Act I. The LP will also apparently feature contributions from Ryan Tedder ( and Raphael Saadiq) .
