Beyonce Releases New Album While You Were Sleeping!

Beyonce just dropped a delicious holiday bomb all over her fans, and it all happened in the middle of the night!

The 32-year-old first shocked fans just before midnight when she announced that she had been working on a new album. And then, she went loco and released the album while everyone was sleeping.

Beyonce’s new album is titled, “BEYONCE” and it is packed with 14 songs and 17 videos. The surprise album can only be downloaded from iTunes, and the early reports are that it’s worth the download. Beyonce posted a video announcement of the album on her Facebook page and had this to say…

“I see music. 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.”

There had been some rumors about Beyonce working on a new album the past few months, but nothing was ever confirmed. How she managed to keep it quiet for so long is a mystery to us all.

“I miss that immersive experience. Now people only listen to a few seconds of song on the iPods and they don’t really invest in the whole experience. It’s all about the single, and the hype. It’s so much that gets between the music and the art and the fans.”

She has a point there. A lot of artists don’t even release full albums anymore. They release a few singles, put a crappy music video up on Youtube, hit the radio and then go on tour for six months.

I give her props for doing it the right way.
