Beyoncé estrena Break My Soul, la letra y toda la información de la canción

Seis años después de su último disco en solitario, Lemonade (2016), la polifacética cantante Beyoncé ya ha estrenado la primera pista del sonido de su nuevo álbum. Por lo que "Break My Soul" es el esperado adelanto que la artista ha elegido para presentar su nuevo álbum Renaissance, que se estrenará en julio.

La canción combina elementos de rap y música house, donde la cantante vuelve a exhibir su rango vocal, acompañado por una base minimalista, con una producción de dance noventera, severamente influida por los beats de aquella época.

La canción al detalle

En Break My Soul, la texana habla sobre el deseo de hacer grandes cosas y aceptar retos, sobre la motivación y sobre sus sensaciones en esta nueva etapa. A lo largo de los versos, la artista muestra la evolución de una Beyoncé que sufría niveles de estrés que no la dejaban dormir, a otra que se siente feliz, cómoda y liberada, con un camino fijado al frente. La cantante deja claro cuál es su mantra en esta etapa renovada: You won’t break my soul (No vas a romper mi alma).

Para la base de la canción, se utiliza una muestra de Show Me Love, de Robin S., uno de los clásicos del house que el año que viene cumple tres décadas. También se incluyen unos versos de Explode (2014), de la rapera Big Freedia, que van en sintonía con el mensaje que Beyoncé quiere transmitir:

"Release ya stress / Release the love / Forget the rest (Libera el estrés / Libera el amor / Olvida el resto)".

[Intro: Big Freedia & Beyoncé]
I'm 'bout to explode, take off this load
Bend it, bust it open, won't ya make it go

[VersO 1: Beyoncé]
Now, I just fell in love, and I just quit my job
I'm gonna find new drive, damn, they work me so damn hard
Work by nine, then off past five
And they work my nerves, that's why I cannot sleep at night

[Pre-Estribillo: Beyoncé]

And I'm on that new vibration
I'm buildin' my own foundation, yeah
Hold up, oh, baby, baby

Release ya anger, release ya mind
Release ya job, release the time
Release ya trade, release the stress
Release the love, forget the rest

[Verso 2: Beyoncé]
I'ma let down my hair 'cause I lost my mind
Bey is back and I'm sleepin' real good at night
The queens in the front and the Doms in the back
Ain't takin' no flicks but the whole clique snapped
There's a whole lot of people in the house
Tryin' to smoke with the yak in your mouth
(Good at night) And we back outside
You said you outside, but you ain't that outside
Worldwide hoodie with the mask outside
In case you forgot how we act outside

[Pre-Estribillo: Beyoncé]
Got motivation (Motivation)
I done found me a new foundation, yeah (New foundation)
And I'm takin' my new salvation (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, new salvation)
And I'ma build my own foundation, yeah (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, baby, baby

[Estribillo: Beyoncé]

You won't break my soul (You won't)
You won't break my soul (Break my soul)
You won't break my soul (You won't)
You won't break my soul (Break my soul)
And I'm tellin' everybody (Everybody)
Everybody (Everybody)
Everybody (Everybody)
Everybody, yeah

[Verso 3: Beyoncé]
If you don't seek it, you won't see it
That, we all know (Can't break my soul)
If you don't think it, you won't be it
That love ain't yours (Can't break my soul)
Tryin' to fake it, never makes it
That, we all know (Can't break my soul)
You can have the stress and not take less
I'll justify love
We go round in circles, round in circles
Searchin' for love (Round in circles)
We go up and down, lost and found
Searchin' for love
Looking for something that lives inside me
Looking for something that lives inside me

[Estribillo: Beyoncé]
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
I'm tellin' everybody
Tellin' everybody
Everybody
Everybody
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul, no, no
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
And I'm tellin' everybody (Oh yeah, yeah)
Everybody (Oh yeah, yeah)
Everybody
Everybody (Oh yeah, yeah)

[Puente: Beyoncé]
I'm takin' my new salvation
And I'ma build my own foundation, yeah
Got motivation (Motivation)
I done found me a new foundation, yeah (New foundation)
I'm takin' my new salvation (New salvation)
And I'ma build my own foundation, yeah (Own foundation)

[Outro: Big Freedia]
