Beyoncé's releases are like buses. You don't hear a peep out of her for six years, and then three things you want to write about all arrive at once. This version of 'BREAK MY SOUL' is a mash-up with Madonna's seminal 90s number, 'Vogue'. Technically, it's flawless. I cannot fault it. But her team must have binge-watched every season of Pose, Legendary, and Paris Is Burning because almost every reference is lifted from there. I don't remember Mrs Knowles-Carter being part of the ballroom scene, so the whole thing comes across as a desperate attempt to appeal to 'The Kids'.
