New Beyonce album in 2014?

this album is crazy so far

wait the one done by ryan tedder is actually pretty good

The Ryan Tedder track is really massive.

vocals on this are top notch

which is the tedder?

blow is not making me mad

tedder is "xo"

Excited about the idea of home delivered milkshakes.

i should have ordered like 5

woah yr no angel

lollll the credits for this say "miguel jontel pimento" LIKE THE CHEESE

honestly feels like a Bjork album right now

Wait, this thing has 31 tracks?

lol Rocket

No, 14 tracks with videos for every track and the "Grown Woman" video.

wow

tedder one is a little U2 meets fun

This is probably the best news I've ever read drunk.

can't tell if my shitty computer won't load rocnation.com or if there is no BOOTS info. not sure i wanna know the truth.

thanks james

there's a "coming soon"

Boots is Sasha Fierce's alter-ego

this does kind of make that "obviously, at some point" quote upthread scan TOTALLY different, no way he didn't know

WHAT IS GOING ON

I CAN'T WAKE UP FROM ZERO TO 100 LIKE THIS

yes i was waiting for the british to wake up

"She recorded all over the world for a year and a half but the initial recording started after the writers and producers gathered under one roof in The Hamptons, New York’s beach enclave, in the summer of 2012 to live together, work together and to immerse themselves into her world and into her head."

she clearly watched that Marina Abramovic documentary

so the whole thing about them scrapping the entire album was probably bullshit right

this album dropping out of nowhere is a nice bookend to a year that started with the surprise mbv release.

Imagine how different this album would be if Solange didn't have a falling out with Dev Hynes and Beyonce was hanging out with her sister like all siblings do and Solange was like, "you should work with my pal Dev Hynes, he was in a band called Test Icicles"

that probably would have sucked.

completely amazing

yes it would have sucked

true

PARTITION

YONCÉ ALL ON HIS MOUTH LIKE LIQUOR. YONCÉ ALL ON HIS MOUTH LIKE LIQUOR.

Loving this. She dropped a real Black Album, didn't she?

Pretty sure the closest thing this album has to a radio-friendly single is like, "Blow".

I love how we've had months of growing collective sighs and despondency regarding this album and suddenly like BOOM there it is.

Annoyingly I'm not sure I will get to listen to this today.

i think a lot of these songs would do well on r&b radio. and "xo" could be a pop hit (and a deserving one, though i was v skeptical when i saw both ryan tedder and terry richardson in the credits).

"rocket" just completely slayed me

'Partiton' is amazing

Just downloaded this, loading up for the trip to work. Not sure when I'll have time to watch the videos.

bzzz bzzz zhwap at the end of 'partition' is so cute/endearing

is 'pretty hurts' too much of a message song to be a single? i can see it being embraced by a tumblr/ONTD-type crowd

Guys the entire world is there buying this album at once I'm not sure Beyonce even cares about singles with this one.

I mean she probably understands the value of sudden unexpected joy and delight better than pretty much anyone in pop right now.

"Though an official single didn't precede the set, two tracks are expected to be announced as the lead singles for different formats next week. "

I'm sure she'll release them, it's just that when you've just thrown the conventional promotional cycle out of the window they don't matter as much.

singles will just be victory laps whilst flicking the vees at the crowd
