Beyoncé has revealed the collaborators and tracklist for her seventh studio album, which is said to be heavily influenced by electronic music.
So it should come as no surprise that Skrillex has been confirmed to appear on Renaissance.
Skrillex will appear on the album’s fifth track, “Energy,” alongside frequent collaborator BEAM and The Neptunes’ Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, among others. The iconic “Bangarang” producer is one of a number of electronic music artists to appear on Renaissance, joining Honey Dijon, A.G. Cook, Nile Rodgers and more.
It’s also worth noting that the final track, “Summer Renaissance,” will sample music by the legendary electronic music producer and Daft Punk collaborator Giorgio Moroder.
While many longtime fans have bemoaned Skrillex for deviating from his classic dubstep sound, he has cemented himself as one of the world’s most sought-after music producers. Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd and many more contemporary music luminaries have commissioned him for studio sessions that led to global pop hits.
Beyoncé’s star-studded list of Renaissance features also includes The-Dream, Drake, Jay-Z, Labrinth, Sabrina Claudio and 070 Shake.
Renaissance is Queen Bey’s first solo studio album since 2016’s Lemonade. She recently dropped the record’s lead single, “Break My Soul,” a disco-inspired house jam that samples Robin S.’ iconic 1993 dance track “Show Me Love.” The song made history for Beyoncé, who became the first woman to land 20 Top 10 hits as a solo artist and 10 or more titles in the Top 10 as a member of a group.
Renaissance is scheduled to release on July 29th, 2022. You can read the album’s full credits, per Apple Music, below.
