No promo. No announcement. No hints. Nothing.
I can’t stop giggling. Beyonce actually just shook up the entire industry. Journalists, labels, fans…scrambling.
UPDATE: Beyoncé just uploaded a mini-documentary explaining the reasoning behind her “visual album” on Facebook.
“I miss that immersive experience. Now, people only listen to a few seconds of a song on their iPods. They don’t really invest in a whole album. It’s all about the single. And the hype. It’s so much that gets between the music and the artist and the fans. I felt like…I don’t want anybody to give the message when my record is coming out. I just want this to come out when it’s ready. From me to my fans.”
