Beyoncé explains why she created 'Renaissance'

We now know a bit more about Beyoncé's forthcoming new album, "Renaissance."

The superstar singer posted an ethereal photo of herself upon a see-through horse on her verified Instagram account Thursday, captioned with some insight.

"Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world," Beyoncé wrote. "It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration. "
