Guys, so, let me check. Beyoncé just released a new album, out of nowhere, with no promotion, no first single, not even 10-second previews, she didn't even announce it.

This album is so great, but I don't know how people who are hanging on to her songs from IASF era are going to react. Well, at this point it doesn't matter. In my opinion she did very well.
WOW! So many things to say. She didn't announce a thing about this and I'm sure she will sell more than some of the other pop girls. This is the type of the album that doesn't necessarily has big hits but that sounds perfect as a piece of art. It's her moment to be experimental and artistic and she reflects that on all the music videos she has done. She just loves music, she loves her job, she loves performing, she is a true artist. That's why she went touring without having to promote an album. I have so much respect for her.
I understand some of you are going to say this is even worse than '4' but I've listened the snippets understanding that I shouldn't expect to hear the new 'Crazy In Love' or the new 'Single Ladies'. She will have time for those massive hit singles in the future. She is already a legend being so young, and she knows the industry will appreciate this.
I don't love any of the songs yet, but the album is not bad at all. Actually, any of her albums have been bad. I have to say I was mad at '4' because I was expecting something different, but this time, I was prepared for this. I predicted a few weeks ago that she was going to do this. I just knew it. Good move Bey!
So far, I like 'Mine', 'Drunk In Love', 'Blow' and 'Superpower'. Drake and Frank Ocean sound really great on their parts. The rest will need a few more listens. I was hoping to hear the final versions of 'Grown Woman' and 'Standing On The Sun'. I'm waiting so much for the full songs and music videos. Love for Bey.
Drunk In Love, Pretty Hurts, XO
