Beyonce Announces Immediate Release Of New, Self-Titled Album

That’s it, then. 2013 has well and truly witnessed every single big-deal artist releasing an album. Just when it looked as if Beyonce was saving something for next year, she’s rush-released her new, fifth studio album.

Out now on iTunes with immediate effect and zero build-up (she’s gone Radiohead, basically), the 14-track return arrives alongside 17 accompanying videos.

Tracks include guest spots from Frank Ocean, Jay Z and in closing track ‘Blue’, the couple’s own daughter Blue Ivy.

Michelle and Kelly return to revisit the Destiny’s Child days in ‘Superpower’ and Caroline Polachek from Chairlift wrote and produced ‘No Angel’.

Videos arrive directed by Hype Williams, Terry Richardson & More.
