Mrs. Tina Knowles-Lawson might have the iconic Beyoncé as her daughter but that hasn't stopped her from fangirling over the singer's impressive talent.
The world continues to stand still as we await the promise of Queen B's seventh studio album, "RENAISSANCE," which she shocked the world with last week.
While the album won't be released until July 29, Beyoncé has no intention to starve her fans as she released the first single from the album, "BREAK MY SOUL," by June 21 at midnight ET.
However, before fans heard the magic that she had been working on all these years, proud mom Tina teased fans about what they can accept from the highly-anticipated album.
Tina Lawson Speaks On Beyoncé's Upcoming Album
Hours before the release of "BREAK MY SOUL," Mrs. Lawson stepped out for the HollyRod's Foundation 2022 DesignCare Gala and was talked to reporters on the red carpet about what "RENAISSANCE" would bring.
The exciting mother gushed, "I’m a fan too. I’m very, very excited. I just posted recently that I really miss her singing, and I do. I’m as excited as everybody else. I can’t wait for you guys to hear it."
Lawson added, "She put two years of love into this. Many, many nights [she spent] all night working. I can’t wait for the world to hear it."
The "Wrath: A Seven Deadly Sins Story" star also gave a special shoutout to her granddaughter Blue Ivy who recently blew up the internet with her stunning looks.
As you might know, earlier this week, Blue Ivy and her dad Jay-Z attended the NBA finals and the 10-year-old stole the show with her remarkable beauty, looking like her mother's replica.
The first child of the Carters donned a similar curly hair that Beyoncé had worn in the past, and even had some confused if it was the "Single Ladies" singer that was beside Jay-Z.
Blue Ivy also had a hilarious interaction with her father after he tried to plant an affectionate kiss on her head, but she was more bothered about her hair like every teenager.
Despite her dad being the legendary Hov, Blue paid no mind to that as she urged her dad to be careful about her hair.
Doting on her adorable granddaughter, Lawson told the publication, "She’s just blossoming and turning into her mother." How lovely!
About Beyoncé's 'RENAISSANCE' Album
The upcoming "RENAISSANCE" is Beyoncé's first solo album in six years and it brings along great promises of the return of the '90s club scenes.
As you might know, Queen B's last solo album, "Lemonade," was released in 2016, and although she has churned out more songs and even albums — "Everything Is Love," "HOMECOMING: THE LIVE ALBUM," "The Lion King: The Gift," and the soundtrack for "King Richard" movie, "Be Alive" — they have mainly been collaborative or compilations.
She first teased the news of her seventh studio album by removing the profile picture from all her social media platforms, causing members of the Beyhive to lose it.
Finally, Bey confirmed her fans' speculations in the July issue of British Vogue where the editor-in-chief Edward Enninful described the new sound as "soaring vocals and fierce beats combine and in a split second I’m transported back to the clubs of my youth. I want to get up and start throwing moves."
Enninful continued, "Music that makes you rise, that turns your mind to cultures and subcultures, to our people past and present, music that will unite so many on the dance floor, music that touches your soul."
Fans' Reactions To 'BREAK MY SOUL'
"BREAK MY SOUL" was released earlier than announced and has been described as a hit summer tune that embraces "the joyous spirit of house music," paying tribute to queer Black and Latinx communities.
So far, the summer bop, which features soaring vocals from Big Freedia, has received an array of reactions on social media.

One fan wrote, "New Beyoncé sounds like something I would have taped off the radio in like 6th grade so I’m obsessed with it."
Another comment read, "Beyoncé releasing a new song sampling Show Me Love during Pride month?? That’s gay rights."
The editor-in-chief of Pitchfork Puja Patel noted, "Beyoncé saw that it was the summer of late-millennial burnout, the labor movement, ‘90s revival, and queer pride and was like, “Yeah, I can make a song about that”
