The drought is almost over. Six years after the release of her seminal album Lemonade, Beyoncé has confirmed she’s got new music coming in a matter of weeks.

On Thursday morning, the music legend announced her seventh album Renaissance (subtitled “Act I” on her official website) would be coming on 29 July.

Needless to say, the stir quickly caused a huge stir on social media, with Beyoncé and Renaissance both quickly rising up the list of global trending topics on Twitter.

Here’s what fans have had to say so far...

First of all, the early-morning timing of the announcement didn’t go unnoticed

Although some couldn’t help questioning why the queen of the surprise release was giving fans so much notice?

why is beyonce actually telling us about the album before it drops, what's the catch pic.twitter.com/n7dcEQFDUk

I am so happy and yet so suspicious. Since when does the Queen announce her comeback? https://t.co/uGb1OSGVSa

Others pointed out that the star has been so innovative with the past releases that even a return to tradition felt fresh for Beyoncé

Beyoncé previously hinted her album #Renaissance in @HarpersBazaarUS 2021 interview:

“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.” pic.twitter.com/wGHZNLf5GX

And does a new album mean a new tour?

Let me save my money for any upcoming tour because I’ve never seen Beyonce (by herself) and I MUST DO SO BEFORE I DIE.
