Late last night, Beyonce surprised fans and millions around the world by dropping a brand new album exclusively on iTunes. This comes as a complete shock seeing as there was zero promotion for the album. The album, which is self-titled, is a visual album so besides 14 new songs the album also features 17 brand new music videos. Collaborations on the album include Bey’s hubby Jay-Z, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, Drake, Frank Ocean, Pharrell Williams, Justin Timberlake, and very special guest, Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy. In a video released on Facebook about the album, Beyonce said “I see music as more than just what I hear,” she says in the clip. “When I’m connected to something, I immediately see a visual or a series of images that are tied to a feeling or an emotion, a memory from my childhood, thoughts about life, my dreams or my fantasies and they’re all connected to the music. And I think that’s one of the reasons why I wanted to do a visual album.”
