Beyoncé's "Renaissance" album has been receiving rave reviews and dominating charts since it was released almost a month ago but little did fans know, one track from the record was recorded years ago.
Many people have been describing the singer's new album as "ahead of its time" because it featured several tracks with numerous references from the past.
Speaking to a Rolling Stone podcast, record producer Hit-Boy revealed that the singer's hit track "Thique" had been sitting in an archive since 2014.
"I had to sit on that beat for eight years! That's the way the game goes sometimes. I've had a lot of ups and downs in the game and certain people will perceive like, 'Oh, where's Hit-Boy been? What's Hit-Boy been doing?'" he said. (via NME)
He added that people had no idea how ahead he really is because he's been holding onto "legendary stuff" and he's going to release more in the future.
The reason why the song was not released back then was because of "timing" as he considers it more important than the quality.
At the time, he believed that the music industry was not ready for a song like "Thique."
Beyoncé to Release Visuals for 'Renassaince' Songs
Last week, Beyoncé shocked fans by sharing a massive teaser for the highly-anticipated music videos of her songs from "Renaissance."
Weeks after the record's release, the singer's team revealed the reason why she hasn't released a visual for the lead single "Break My Soul" yet, saying she wanted her listeners to take in and absorb the songs before seeing any visuals.
Since the album has been labeled as "Act I," many fans have theorized that the latest record is just one of the three projects that Beyoncé had been planning to release.
Some fans guessed that the second act would be a completely new album under a different genre, while others believed it is the album's music videos then the third will be a tour.
The singer shared a teaser for "I'm That Girl" and many online users believed that the 38-second mark is a montage of different music videos combined in one teaser.
Twitter fans immediately labeled the visuals as a "multiverse of madness," referencing the 2022 film "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once."
As of this writing, Beyoncé has not revealed any of her future plans for the album or release date for the said music videos.
