Beyoncé has revealed the tracklist for her new album Renaissance, which is out on July 29. In addition to the single “Break My Soul,” the 16-song album includes songs called “America Has a Problem,” “Alien Superstar,” and “Thique.”

Along with the song titles, the Renaissance composer credits have been revealed, as the @BeyLegion fan account notes. The credits are adapted from the Apple Music page for Renaissance and do not represent the full scope of album contributors. Credited composers include Jay-Z (aka S. Carter), Skrillex, 070 Shake, The-Dream, and Drake. And, as noted by @BeyLegion, the credits indicate that there are samples of music by Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder, James Brown, Teena Marie, and others. Find the composer credits below.

Beyoncé announced Renaissance, her first solo studio album since 2016’s Lemonade, in mid-June. “Break My Soul,” arrived a few days later. On June 30, Beyoncé revealed the cover art for the album, an image that recalls both John Collier’s Lady Godiva painting and a photograph of Bianca Jagger entering Studio 54 on a white horse on her 30th birthday.
