Almost exactly a week after releasing her latest album "Renaissance," Beyoncé has dropped a new EP containing four new tracks that revolve around her smash hit "Break My Soul."
According to Uproxx, the 40-year-old songstress has been receiving rave reviews from critics about her new album, and she immediately released an extended play titled "Break My Soul Remixes."
The new EP contains fresh new tracks remixed differently by four producers Honey Dijon, will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, Nita Aviance, and Terry Hunter.
The four talented musicians transformed the Grammy Award-winning singer's first track using unique sounds and elements like church organs and trance.
The recent release comes a day after Beyoncé seemingly responded to the controversy surrounding her song and Kelis by removing the sample of "Milkshake" in her song "Energy."
Fans have noticed that the singer quietly replaced the old version of the song on music streaming platforms like Apple Music and Spotify.
"Renaissance" might be doing numbers when it comes to streams and support from the Bey Hive, but it also faced numerous controversies over the past few week.
The most recent drama was Kelis accused the singer of stealing her music and not really collaborating with her in the first place.
Taking to her Instagram live, Kelis called out the "Alien Superstar" songstress and her former collaborators, the Neptunes, who produced her first three albums.
The Neptunes is a duo consisting of Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams.
She alleged that the pair "swindled" her out of owning the song as she was never credited as a writer or producer.
"I know what I own and what I don't own. I also know the lies that were told. I also know the things that were stolen," Kelis claimed.
Another issue Beyoncé faced regarding her new album was about her song "Heated" as she was labeled by online users as an "ableist" for using the derogatory slur "spaz."
Her team immediately released a statement, clarifying that the track did not intend to harm anyone and they'll be releasing a new version with new lyrics.
Diane Warren was also involved in an issue as she seemingly called out the star for having 24 writers in the song "Alien Superstar."
The famed songwriter received negative comments from the fandom, leading her to apologize and clarify that she was just expressing her curiosity and not being "shady."
