Beyoncé has released a new exclusive song. "Black Parade" is a track committed against racism, while the singer engages in the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

Beyoncé released an unreleased track on Friday June 19. The singer released the title "Black Parade", already on music listening platforms. The song echoes the situation in the United States following the death of George Floyd, with the uprising against police violence. The American star has chosen a very special day to unveil it: Friday, the USA celebrated the Juneteenth, namely the abolition of slavery in the country.

In "Black Parade", Beyoncé sings "need for peace and reparation for my people", while the deaths of black people multiply, often without their murderers being convicted. A few hours after putting her new song online, the singer announced the creation of the Black Parade Route initiative. He must support black traders, also often victims of racism: "Being black is your activism. Black excellence is a form of protest. Black joy is your right", wrote the artist on his site.

Very committed to racism, Beyoncé had called on her fans to mobilize after the tragic death of George Floyd and to amplify the #BlackLivesMatter movement. "We are broken and disgusted. We cannot normalize this pain. I am not just talking to people of color. If you are white, black, brown in skin or anything in between, I am sure you will feel desperate about the racism raging in America right now "she said. She also asked for justice for the man, and for all the other victims : "We need justice for George Floyd. We have all witnessed his assassination in broad daylight. […] No more senseless killings of human beings. No more seeing people of color as less than humans. We can no longer look away. "
