Beyoncé has shared the official cover art for "Renaissance," her seventh studio album, which is due July 29.
The artwork shows Beyoncé riding a shimmering, silver horse, her face turned to the camera. Revealing the cover via Instagram, she explained the album's creation and what she hoped to accomplish.
"Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world," she wrote Thursday. "It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration.
