Beyoncé has shocked the world early this Friday morning with the release of her new full-length self-titled album, complete with 14 new tracks and 17 music videos to accompany them. The album, which managed to release without any prior advertising or promotion, is now exclusively on iTunes for $15.99, and features tracks with husband Jay Z, Drake, Sia, and even her daughter, Blue Ivy.
Some directors featured on the music video include Terry Richardson, Melina Matsoukas, Jonas Åkerlund, Ed Burke, Hype Williams, and Pierre Debusschere, to name a few.
“I see music,” Beyonce said in her announcement on her Facebook page. “It’s more than just what I hear. 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.”

1. Pretty Hurts
2. Haunted
