“Rosetta Tharpe, Santigold / Bessie Smith, Nina Simone / Betty Davis, Solange Knowles / Badu, Lizzo, Kelly Rowl’ / Lauryn Hill, Roberta Flack / Toni, Janet, Tierra Whack / Missy, Diana, Grace Jones / Aretha, Anita, Grace Jones / Helen Folasade Adu, Jilly from Philly, I love you, boo / Don’t just stand there, get into it / Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it / Vogue!” Beyoncé sings on the track.
Shout-outs to “Michelle Williams, Chloe Bailey, Halle Berry, Aaliyah / Alicia Keys, Whitney Houston, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj” are also made.
Beyoncé’s latest remix also honors the ballroom culture that originally inspired Madonna’s “Vogue,” calling out the houses of Xtravaganza, Revlon, LaBeija, Amazon and more.
Some memorable “Vogue” lyrics from Madonna are included in the track, too, as are bounce nuances from frequent Beyoncé collaborator Big Freedia in the background,
Beyoncé dropped “Break My Soul” in June as the lead single from her newly-released seventh studio album Renaissance, which will unfold as a three-act project. She also shared a cappella and instrumental versions of the track last month.
Renaissance is now available for streaming and download.
