Beyoncé and Jay-Z release surprise joint album
With no advanced warning or promotion beyond their ability to grab international headlines with every move, popular culture’s first couple released its long-rumored and teased collaborative album on Saturday evening following a concert in London.
In what has become something of a familiar ritual, the sudden release immediately sent fans and the industry into a tizzy.
“Everything Is Love,” the nine-track joint release, appeared initially only on the streaming service Tidal — owned in part by Jay-Z and Beyoncé — at around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, more than 24 hours after most of the week’s new music, once again separating two of pop’s power players from the pack.
Beyoncé gave a sneak peak on Saturday of the first video off the album, which according to a rep for the project was shot in May at The Louvre in Paris.
