'Break My Soul' was the first single from 'Renaissance', Beyoncé's triumphant 7th album, which re-established her as one of the most influential and commercially successful artists of her generation.
The textures of the single version are derivative of '90s house music, and the vocal textures and voicings are uniquely Beyoncé, while gospel-tinged in places. That said, the story of the song could not be more contemporary to the 2020s, referencing social division, the exploitation of gig workers and, of course, race.Â
Its empowering, defiant yet joyous lyric makes the song perfect for any concert closer. This TTBB arrangement sticks to the complex phrasing and rhythmic complexity of the Beyoncé vocal, with some simplifications for choral use.
Intended as a spectacular finale with dancers and live band, it also features some elements from her live touring version, and includes a solo part that would suit an MC, and/or and singer versed in Beyoncé's vocal stylings.
The YouTube video link is therefore of a live performance.
