Queen Bey is back. Beyoncé's excellent self-titled record was surprise-released at the end of 2014. And now, the same night that she premiered the HBO special "Lemonade," she's done it again. Lemonade is available now via Columbia/Parkwood, streaming exclusively on Tidal. The album features appearances from Jack White, James Blake, Kendrick Lamar, and the Weeknd. Find previews of all the tracks below.
Before its premiere, "Lemonade" was reported to be a "docu-style special" in the same vein as 2013's "Life is But a Dream." Instead it turned out to be another "visual album," with cameos from Jay Z and tennis star Serena Williams.
Earlier this year, Beyoncé joined Coldplay at Super Bowl 50 for a controversy-generating performance of "Formation." She later denounced criticism of the performance, saying, "If celebrating my roots and culture during Black History Month made anyone uncomfortable, those feelings were there long before a video and long before me." That night, she announced the Formation World Tour, which kicks off next week. She previously teased new music in the campaign for her new clothing line Ivy Park.
