More news to come in the morning...after I wake up. :)
Friday, Dec. 13, at 8:49 a.m. EST: So, as the world (at least in America, anyways) was winding down and getting ready for bed last night, Pop/R&B superstar Beyoncé decided to shock us all by releasing a brand new, "visual" album exclusively on iTunes.
The self-titled disc includes 14 new tracks, featuring the likes of Jay Z, Drake, Frank Ocean, Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, Michelle Williams, Kelly Rowland, Justin Timberlake and more.
And to top it all off, it also comes with
17 complementary music videos, which "unfold amid an international backdrop of New York, Paris, Sydney, and Rio de Janeiro," according to the editors' notes on iTunes. The notes also refer to the album as a "provocative, unguarded artistic statement--revealing a side of the icon previously unknown to fans."
The diva informed the world of its release by posting a video on
Instagram featuring clips of the yet-to-be-seen music videos. Moments later, after the album hit iTunes, she posted an in-depth video on
Facebook describing the process behind the album's sudden release.
