Beyoncé is back, and she looks like she is ready to rule the world again.
Via her Instagram page, the international superstar has unveiled the cover art for her upcoming album, and she has decided that as a grown woman who has nothing to prove in the music industry — she will do things her way.
The 40-year-old artist posed on a horse wearing killer high heels and no clothes.
Revisiting her first album cover, Dangerously In Love, Jay-Z‘s wife left nothing to the imagination with a structured metallic bikini covering only a portion of her breasts.
The mother of three had her long blonde hair cascading on her back, and she wore natural tone makeup for the shoot.
The caption of the Instagram post served as a description for Beyoncé’s upcoming seventh studio album, titled Renaissance, due out on July 29.
The R&B Queen explained that the process of creating Renaissance gave her the opportunity to dream and escape this maddening world.
She said that she used the sounds and the lyrics to create a safe space for all listeners to enjoy and feel free.
Beyoncé wrote on Instagram: “act i RENAISSANCE 7.29. 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.”
She went on to say: “A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration. I hope you find joy in this music. I hope it inspires you to release the wiggle. Ha! And to feel as unique, strong, and sexy as you are.”
Last week, Beyoncé surprised fans with the release of the summer-ready track “Break My Soul.”
The artist used her pen to craft a catchy tune about people changing their lives, quitting their stressful jobs, and finding their happy place in this complex world plagued by wars and a pandemic.
In a previous interview in Vogue, Beyoncé spoke more about the project by saying: “With all the isolation and injustice over the past year, I think we are all ready to escape, travel, love, and laugh again. I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible.”
Queen Bey is back to reclaim her throne.
