Beyoncé Breaks The Internet With Surprise Release Of New Album

LOS ANGELES (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Beyoncé has surprised her fans by releasing a soundtrack to her Netflix documentary "Homecoming."

The 37-year-old superstar debuted "Homecoming: The Live Album" at midnight on Wednesday, the same day a Netflix documentary exploring her historic performances at the 2018 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was released.

She was the first black woman to headline the event in which she paid tribute to America's historically black colleges.

The album features 40 tracks including "Single Ladies" and "Crazy in Love." There's also a special a cappella version of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" by her oldest daughter, Blue Ivy and a new cover of "Before I Let Go," the song by Maze featuring Frankie Beverly.

It is available through most major streaming services.

Beyoncé first surprised fans when she unexpectedly dropped her fifth studio album, "Beyoncé," in 2013.
