Beyoncé is back.

Queen Bey's seventh album, "Renaissance," was released last week. It's her first studio album since 2016's "Lemonade."

In 16 tracks, the album takes listeners on a dance music odyssey, paying homage to '90s house music, bounce music, Afrobeats, and the ballroom scene. It features samples from artists like Donna Summer and Grace Jones and pays tribute to Black LGBTQ music and culture.

The 1A Record Club dives into Beyoncé's "Renaissance."
