Beyoncé celebrates Juneteenth weekend by delivering a surprise single titled “Black Parade.”
Juneteenth has turned out to be quite the day for music. Millions of Americans celebrate the day that Texas slaves were finally freed two years after the emancipation of Black people held in bondage. Alicia Keys and John Legend shared the stage in a Verzuz battle and a number of artists have released new singles and projects that speak to the current political climate and issues plaguing the Black community. In a surprise move, Beyoncé has also thrown her hat into the ring and has given the world a new song titled “Black Parade.”
“Happy Juneteenth Weekend! I hope we continue to share joy and celebrate each other, even in the midst of struggle. Please continue to remember our beauty, strength and power,” Beyoncé wrote over on Instagram. “‘BLACK PARADE’ celebrates you, your voice and your joy and will benefit Black-owned small businesses.” Stream “Black Parade” by Beyoncé and let us know what you think.
