Next week, Beyoncé’s new album Renaissance will be here, and now we’re starting to get a better idea of what the project looks like. Yesterday, Beyoncé shared the LP’s tracklist, and after some digging, we also know which artists are credited as composers on the album.
The track-by-track list of credited composers can currently be seen on the album’s page on Apple Music (by viewing the page source on an internet browser); Popular Beyoncé Twitter fan account BeyLegion also shared an incomplete version of the credits. Notable contributors include Drake, Jay-Z (credited as S. Carter), Skrillex, Tems, Big Freedia, The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo), Mike Dean, Labrinth, Lucky Daye, Syd, 070 Shake, The-Dream, Raphael Saadiq, No ID, Hit-Boy, BloodPop, and AG Cook.
