Beyoncé's officially drops Renaissance, thanks fans for “unwavering support”

Carlijn Jacobs

It’s time for a Renaissance.

At midnight Friday, Beyoncé‘s long-awaited seventh studio album, Renaissance, was released, despite a leak just two days prior. Even though the project got out a bit early, the singer’s dedicated fans stood by her side, waiting until the official drop to immerse themselves in the music, something the R&B icon expressed gratitude for on social media. 

“So, the album leaked, and you all actually waited until the proper release time so you all can enjoy it together,” she wrote in a post shortly before Renaissance was made available. “I’ve never seen anything like it. I can’t thank y’all enough for your love and protection.”

“I appreciate you for calling out anyone that was trying to sneak into the club early. It means the world to me,” the “Break My Soul” singer continued. “Thank you for your unwavering support. Thank you for being patient. We are going to take our time and enjoy the music. I will continue to give my all and do my best to bring you joy. I love you deep.”

Renaissance is Beyoncé’s first conventional solo album since 2016’s Lemonade. The album, which is just the first part of a three-act project, features a total of 16 tracks and includes collaborations from artists like Drake, Nigerian singer Tems and producer Pharrell Williams. As described by Apple Music, Renaissance “is a celebration of freedom and a complete immersion into house and dance that serves as the perfect sound bed for themes of liberation, release, self-assuredness, and unfiltered confidence.”

Renaissance is available to stream now.

Ex-NFL player Kevin Ware indicted in girlfriend’s murder

(HOUSTON) — Former NFL player Kevin Ware was indicted Thursday for murder in the death of his missing girlfriend, Taylor Pomaski.

“We appreciate everyone who has come forward to provide evidence and aid in our investigation,” said Lacy Johnson, a chief prosecutor in the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. “Although this investigation has been going on since Taylor’s disappearance in 2021, the court process is just beginning, and we encourage anyone who has knowledge about what happened between Kevin and Taylor to come forward.”

A Harris County grand jury also indicted Ware for tampering with a corpse. If convicted of murder, Ware faces the possible sentence of 15 years to life in prison.

“Prosecutors presented the evidence to a Harris County grand jury, which determined there was sufficient evidence for criminal charges,” Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg told ABC News. “We will follow the evidence wherever it leads and apply the law equally to all.”

Pomaski was last seen alive at Ware’s home on April 25, 2021, with the Harris County Sherriff’s Office saying she disappeared “under suspicious circumstances,” according to ABC News Houston station KTRK.

In June 2021, shortly after Pomaski’s disappearance, Ware was arrested in Houston on gun and drug charges and had been in Montgomery County Jail ever since.

Pomaski’s remains were found in December 2021, according to KTKR.

Ware was a tight end for Washington and the San Francisco 49ers in 2003 and 2004.
