Beyoncé: Drunk In Love

Beyoncé dropped her surprise album exclusively on iTunes in the wee hours of Friday morning and it ’s alreadysold a million transcript . It ’s a “ visual record album , ” featuring 14 songs and 17 videos , and it ’s slightly of a left turn from the elbow room we ’ve become used to consuming music these days .

How ’s that ? First of all , you ca n’t well out it anywhere . It ’s iTunes - only . secondly , it solicit to be watch . Did Beyoncé just bring back euphony television ? Pretty much . You see artists put out a handful of videos for an album , but they almost never do an entire record album ’s worth of them . The closest compare would be Kanye West ’s short celluloid Runaway or Lana del Rey ’s late Tropico . But those were both elevate and hype to hell before their releases , and Beyoncé remained a arcanum that nary a cent was expend to promote . ( She should in all likelihood give thanks Twitter and Facebook for their corporate freakouts securing her near - moment number one status on Billboard ) .

On top of that , Beyoncé is something you almost certainly have to corrupt if you want to bask it . you may probably rive the album if you know where to look , but any bootlegged video that toss off up are fundamentally drive down immediately by Illuminati henchmen ( register : the RIAA ) . However , she has release a couple of the television on YouTube so far . Drunk In Love is one of my front-runner of the hour , if anything because it appear like it was shot while Bey and Jay were on holiday . It feels like they ’re just hanging out on a luxury beach , and you ca n’t help but think we ’ve come full circle from Crazy In Love , one of theirs first collabo 10 years ago . [ YouTube ]
