Beyoncé releases surprise album

Beyonceé in Jealous Music Video

Apparently Beyoncé wasn't busy enough.

Baby...still free time

World Tour...still free time

SOOOOO she decided to SURPRISE RELEASE an ALBUM

Not only is it already on itunes, but each and every song on the album already has a music video too.

And while Brit Brit might have included a duet with her little sister, Beyoncé wanted to step it up and do one with her BABY.

An early Christmas present from Beyoncé to her fans!

Currently the album is itunes only.
