The updated version of the Renaissance lead single marks the first official collaboration between the two pop titans.Īaliyah, one of Beyoncé’s contemporaries while Queen B was still in Destiny’s Child, is the second namedrop in “Break My Soul.” Although Beyoncé and the late Aaliyah never collaborated, the pair crossed paths numerous times. The “Queens Remix” of “Break My Soul” merges Beyoncé’s Hot 100 No.1 with Madonna’s own “Vogue,” which topped the Hot 100 in 1990. Of course, Beyoncé kicked off the shout-outs with “queen mother” Madonna herself. From Diana Ross and Whitney Houston, to the House of Aviance and the House of Balenciaga, the “Queens Remix” of “Break My Soul” is a rich capsule of music and pop culture history. In line with her recent efforts to re-center Black artists in histories where their contributions have been erased, Beyoncé revises Madonna’s original roll call and instead gives shout-outs to 29 legendary Black women in music (plus Madonna herself), as well as a slew of iconic ballroom houses. Madonna’s track featured a roll call of exclusively white silver-screen legends despite the song owing its existence to the Black and Latinx queer artists who pioneered voguing and ballroom culture.
