Beyoncé's new album 'Renaissance' is coming and the internet is (understandably) screaming

Six years have passed since Bey gave the world Lemonade. It has been six years since a new solo album was released.

We have news! On July 29th, Bey will release her new album Renaissance.

On Thursday, Tidal's official account posted the name and release date for the singer's next project, while Bey's social media bios were updated with a mysterious word. The title and release date are clear, but whether this means more acts down the track remains to be seen.

During her hiatus from solo album production, Bey has not been completely silent. Everything Is Love was a collaborative album that was released by Bey and Jay-Z. She released a live album after her amazing performance at the festival. The Lion King: The Gift was released along with the remake of The Lion King and Black Is King.

Bey fans were very excited at the news that a new solo album is on the way.
