Beyoncé is the fifth studio album by Beyoncé. It is Beyoncé's first Self-Titled Album, and is also a visual album where each song is accompanied by a music video. The album is also notable for being released in the middle of the night on December 13, 2013 on Apple iTunes without any announcement or promotion.Beyoncé collaborated with several artists for the album, such as Sia, Frank Ocean, Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and virtually unknown singer-songwriter BOOTS (Jordan Cruz). She wanted the songs to connect with a visual element to help show her thoughts and emotions for each track and had music videos shot in secret while she was on tour through 2012-2013. The album marks a darker, more introspective direction for the singer, with its themes including motherhood, feminism, sexuality, insecurity, and empowerment.While the concept of a Surprise Release wasn't new in the music industry, having already been used by Radiohead for In Rainbows and David Bowie for "Where Are We Now?", Beyoncé's use of it brought the idea to the forefront thanks to her stature. Beyoncé would later comment that she was getting tired of the usual album cycle promotion and wanted to release her music in different ways to surprise fans. The album's release would mark a turn for the entire music industry. Not only would it be credited with the popularization of surprise albums, but many other big artists such as Kanye West, Drake, and Eminem started to forego the usual promotional campaign for new projects and simply turned to social media to promote projects and/or release with little advance hype.Despite the surprise release and physical copies being released a week later, Beyoncé was Beyoncé's fifth number-one album, and had her highest first-week album sales. | |

Face on the Cover | |
| Beyoncé (2013) (Music) / int_1f37a427 | comment |
Face on the Cover: Purposely averted with just her name in pink text against a black background. This is the first Beyoncé album to not feature her face on the cover. Ironic considering how every song on the album is paired with a visual component. | |

Boastful Rap | |

Boastful Rap: Beyoncé toys with this in "Bow Down," which upset a few of her fellow celebrities. Originally, this song was the other half to "I Been On," where Beyoncé boasts even further. "I Been On" was later scrapped for Beyoncé and "Bow Down" was merged into "Flawless." | |
