Not to be outdone by Kanye West (or herself, for that matter) Queen Bey has unleashed her sixth solo album into the world. It's streaming as a TIDAL exclusive for "the foreseeable future" (via The Verge). The album Lemonade comes alongside HBO's live event of the same title that aired Saturday night but was supposed to be "a docu-style special" not unlike Life Is But A Dream, which Beyonce and HBO partnered on in 2013 (via USA Today).
Featuring eleven new songs (and divisive Super Bowl highlight "Formation"), Lemonade is accompanied by an hour plus "visual album," as seen on HBO last night, and is avaiable to stream on TIDAL. Jack White, The Weeknd, James Blake, and Kendrick Lamar appear among the long list of impressive production credits of the album.

The record breaking "Formation World Tour" begins this week in the United States and storms a few arenas abroad. With TIDAL's limited reach, and the massive international appeal of Beyoncé's music, fans can expect to be able to purchase Lemonade sometime in the near future.
The album boasts a number of musical influences, and the accompanying video features impressive choreography, a long list of guest stars, and (seems to) air out a lot of Jay Z & Bey's dirty laundry. (Spoiler: there's a happy ending).
Head over to TIDAL and re-up that Life of Pablo free trial. The Queen is back, and The Queen slays.
