Following the release of the house-infused “Break My Soul“—which reached No. 7 on the Hot 100 songs chart, marking the artist’s 20th Top 10 as a solo artist—Beyoncé revealed the cover art for the album, inspired by a photograph of Bianca Jagger entering Studio 54 on a white horse on her 30th birthday in 1977 and John Collier’s 1897 Lady Godiva painting.
After releasing the artistic Renaissance cover, Beyoncé went on Instagram to elaborate more on the inspiration behind the photo.
“Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world,” she said. “It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. I hope you find joy in this music. I hope it inspires you to release the wiggle—and to feel as unique, strong, and sexy as you are.”
