No one can do it like she can! Queen Bey chose Friday the 13th to completely surprise fans with her fifth studio album, released on iTunes for $15.99 earlier this morning. The self-titled album not only features 14 new songs but 17 videos and collaborations with Drake, Pharrell, Justin Timberlake, Frank Ocean, Michelle Williams, Kelly Rowland and hubby Jay Z. Their baby girl Blue even makes an appearance in the video for track “Blue.”

Surprise! New Beyonce Album Dropped Today on iTunes
“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.
I didn’t want to release my music the way I’ve done it. I am bored with that. I feel like I am able to speak directly to my fans. There’s so much that gets between the music, the artist and the fans. I felt like I didn’t want anybody to give the message when my record is coming out. I just want this to come out when it’s ready and from me to my fans. I just want to give my album to the people I love and respect and hope that they feel the same thing I felt when I made the music.”
