"With all the isolation and injustice over the past year, I think we are all ready to escape, travel, love, and laugh again," the singer told Harper's Bazaar on Tuesday. "I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible."

"I've been in the studio for a year and a half," she then announced, before explaining why the process has taken so long.

"Sometimes it takes a year for me to personally search through thousands of sounds to find just the right kick or snare. One chorus can have up to 200 stacked harmonies."

"Still, there's nothing like the amount of love, passion, and healing that I feel in the recording studio," Beyoncé shared.
