Beyoncé and Madonna have joined forces for a new musical project titled “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)”.
On Friday, the most recent remix of the track “Renaissance” by Beyoncé was released, and it came just in time to get the weekend party started.
Beyoncé flips the script for the famed spoke-sung portion of Madonna’s “Vogue” from 1990, in which the Material Girl names Hollywood icons from the Golden Age.
This section is included in the buzzing remix of “Vogue,” which also interpolates Madonna’s song. Beyoncé pays tribute, in her rendition, to a number of Black women, both living and dead, who have had a significant impact on society, including Aaliyah, Rosetta Tharpe, and Santigold, as well as Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Chloe x Halle. She also mentions Chloe x Halle.
Beyoncé Recently Released her new Song Renaissance
Beyoncé sings on the house-flavored remix, intermingled with Madonna’s words from “Vogue,” “Bessie Smith, Nina Simone (Vogue)/Betty Davis, Solange Knowles.”
“Badu, Lizzo, Kelly Rowl’ (You Know You Can Do It)” / “Lauryn Hill, Roberta Flack” / “Toni, Janet, Tierra Whack” (Let your body move to the music) / Missy, Diana, Grace Jones / Aretha, Anita, Grace Jones / Helen Folasade (Hey, hey, hey) / Grace Jones (Let your body move to the music) Come on, vogue! Adu, Jilly from Philadelphia, I love you, boo”
A few days ago, she released a four-remix compilation of the song “Break My Soul” with Will.i.am, Honey Dijon, Terry Hunter, and Nita Aviance. This new rendition of “Break My Soul” comes a couple of days after that.
Even though Renaissance has been met with nothing but praise from critics, the album’s distribution has been everything from smooth, which is not typical of the megastar’s previous albums.
She took the word “spaz” out of her song “Heated” after receiving criticism from those who fight for people with disabilities and said the phrase was an ableist insult (Lizzo was the subject of a similar controversy earlier this summer).
Beyoncé also removed an interpolation of “Milkshake” from “Energy” because Kelis called it an act of “thievery” and chastised Beyoncé for borrowing a song that was popular in 2003. When words are edited out of songs, as they were in these two examples, it brings up interesting considerations about the growing malleability of music as a digital commodity.
