While We Slept, Queen Bey Releases "Beyonce." [Update With Previews]

Late last night... While most of the US slept... Beyonce was hard at work shocking us all. Just after Midnight, she dropped a new album on iTunes. No hype, no media, no leaks, no nothing.

The new self-titled album features collaborations with Jay-Z, Frank Ocean, Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and even Blue Ivy (Hova and Bey's baby)

What makes this unusual for ANY release (beyond the secret nature) is that it is a complete visual album. There is a music video with every track, and if played in order actually makes a pretty compelling movie.

The album is available in iTunes now, single tracks will be available for purchase on December 20th.

I have listened to this album at least half a dozen times since midnight, and there are too many songs that could be hits. What are you favorite tracks from this album?
