Beyoncé's new single "Break My Soul" is out: listen

[ILuvMe]

I like it, not loving it yet. Excited to listen to the other tracks tho. 

I guess this is the new trend, her and Drake are pivoting in the same direction. We're going back to the early 90s house music 

She sampled this two songs

It’s Beyoncé’s 16th #1 on the platform. Okay Queen B 👑 

 

[Busybee]

Okay I re listened this morning I like it more than I did last night. It for sure has to grow on you. It also felt familiar to me and I realized it's like she took these two songs mixed them up and added her own Beyonce flair

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

But are they going to be credited tho.

Either way, Beyonces song sounds like the boring parts of the 90s.

Oooo I love it! I wish there wasn’t the dude shouting is annoying though. But I’m glad to hear a more dance-y poppy Beyonce song! Probably the first Beyonce song is over a decade I’ve liked on first listen 

That's big freedia show some respect to a hip hop queen

[Urbanney]

Not a fan on first listen. It sounds like a demo. 

[MIKE_INT]

So it took 8 writers and in total 18 people to write/produce/master this song ... hmmm ok

[bitbitboi]

She hypes herself so much that I'm going to be hard on her: This is incredibly underwhelming as a first single, she cannot be expecting to break anybody's soul with this, da f@k...
Havind said that, as a YOUNG ADULT music fan, this is good. I looooove her vocals, she has a beautiful voice and you can tell she's using it and playing with it, which I appreciate a lot. Also, this sound is very nineties, SO JUSTICE FOR CHROMATICA. Please don't tell me that you're all gonna love this sound now just because it comes from Beyoncé, when Gaga already did it a year ago and you all paid her dust. Also...

And even...

It's weird that she didn't release the video at the same time as the song though, because she's such a control freak (in the worst sense, tbh) that she does not let you digest things your own way, everything has to go through her first, so this is actually good. I usually listen to the song first, and THEN I watch the video. You should do so too so you're able to get a first impression, and then how the artist intends you to process it, and that's how you can come up with your own personal conclusion.

Omg...you all hate so much, you dont even bother to use your brains and just think for a moment. LOL. If a song has a sample, producers and songwriters of that sample must receive credit. Thus why a song, which has a sample, have so many "writers" on the credit.

It still doesn't change the fact 18 people worked on that song ... the original + the new versions.

She put herself on a pedestal as a queen so we expect something amazing from her, not the most generic house sample and MIDI sounding piano keys

 

[Tprez]

First listen , hard no. Listening to it with headphones and it’s a great beat! High expectations for this album , congrats Beyonce!

[SJK]

Mehh. It’s way too repetitive. But the production is good, sounds like a 90s dance track.

Wow the remix of show me love is in the charts since two yrs, right?

At least sample something that hasn't been reissued in the last 5 years.

[S0ggyBiscuit]

Not surprising at all...

[Spicechinodiva]

Last time the Us was in a recession was in 2008, Lady Gaga arrived and said nobody is working and eviction notices everywhere, let's Party and dance our lives to death.

 

2022 some things don't change, nobody is really working, eviction notices, time to party til we're numb Beyonce and Drake everybody else will follow through in formation, as usual

Lol anyone who doesn’t like this track, needs to really reevaluate their musical ear. This is fresh for Beyonce and literally a fun track. Homage to 90s house (pls stop w the incorrect decade analysis, it hurts to read people having zero idea what decade and sound this is) and a positive message. I’m so excited to see the video, performances and all things Beyonce summer 2022. Ayyyyyyyyy

So excited to see what she does with this! Glad all the "edgy" shxt is kinda been done now... And we're just getting a fun summer track I could def bop to this

Tbh we all know what the issue was with Chromatica - lack of promotion and live performances. The album was really promising. Plus, people were eating it up upon its release; it's just that she forgot about it quite quickly. As for the sample, it's been overused and that's one thing that bothers me about Break My Soul.

Some fans are speculating that she might release the music video on Friday and perform at the BETs this Sunday. But also, because she's become a bit predictable about how she releases stuff, she's now doing it in a different way -> the oldschool way. Let's see if she nails it.
