Beyonce would release a “thrilling abundance” of new music, British Vogue’s editor-in-chief promised, as the singer was announced as the cover star of the magazine’s July issue.

Tidal, the worldwide music streaming company in which her husband Jay-Z previously owned holdings, revealed on Thursday that Beyonce will release a new album called Renaissance next month after a six-year sabbatical.

Lemonade, the pop star’s most recent full-length solo album, was released in 2016 and was followed by a 65-minute film of the same name, which went to number one in a number of countries.

Writing about meeting and styling Beyonce for the magazine, whose cover was shot by Rafael Pavarotti with a “fashion fantasia” theme, editor-in-chief Edward Enninful said: “New music is coming – a thrilling abundance of it.

“The creation has been a long process, she explains, with the pandemic giving her far longer to spend thinking and rethinking every decision. Just the way she likes it.”

“Beyonce Knowles-Carter, a writer of excellent and lengthy texts, had taken to messaging me as we brainstormed the direction of her Vogue shoot together. A fashion fantasia spun from the tropes of club life during the last century’s final quarter.”

He wrote about being on set, saying: “It was a magical mood and soon B was walking around feeling easy and free to be herself. Her husband and kids came to surprise her on set. It was a family day out – albeit a slightly surreal one.”
