Beyoncé's shares ‘Break My Soul’ remixes from Honey Dijon, Nita Aviance, Will.i.am and more
Each producer puts their own spin on the high-energy, house-inspired original
Beyoncé recently unveiled a 4-pack EP of remixes of her track 'Break My Soul' which included contributions from Will.i.am, Honey Dijon, Terry Hunter, and Nita Aviance.
The singer’s house-inspired track took the world by storm when it was originally released in June - leaving many eager listeners hungry for her latest album ‘Renaissance' - which came out last Friday (July 29).
The already wildly successful tune ‘Break My Soul’ gets a new dance music twist with each successive rendition. Beyoncé's words are interlaced with new sonic twists in Will.i.am's rendition - all while keeping in the spirit of the house music legend Robin S.’ 1990-released track ‘Show Me Love’ sample.

Terry Hunter’s rework is bouncy and fun, offering a different angle to the original. Meanwhile, Nita Aviance’s remix is club-ready and steamy - keeping the spirit of the summer going for the rest of the warm months.
Honey Dijon has already featured as a producer and programmer on ‘Renaissance' tracks ‘Cozy’ and ‘Alien Superstar’. After rumours spreading in March that Dijon would be featuring in the new albums, fans were excited to hear a dance-music album from Beyoncé.
