The nine-song album was released on Saturday exclusively on the couple’s streaming service Tidal, along with the music video to the song Apesh*t, which was filmed in the Louvre.
Today, the album was made available on other online platforms, including iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Google Play Music, and Spotify.
How about we take this to the next level?

New Beyonce means we will have droves of gays proving they aren't like other girls and inserting beyonce hate into their personality drives.

No Tidal, so I’ve only seen clips, but they know how to do PR. She looks great as always, he is actually reverse-aging, and they’re shaping up to be the entertainment power couple of the 2010-2019 decade!

I think Beyonce is ok but it is such a stereotype to say all gay guys love her or Rhianna or Brit Brit. I’m a Latino gay guy in my early 30’s and me and most of my gay friends my age like alternative rock and would probably never go to a Beyonce concert unless it was free.

I’d shove Beyonce into mud if she was standing in the way of a Courtney Barnett concert.

I wouldn’t go see Beyonce if she was performing across the street for free. I think she’s a cool chick but I am not a fan.

I don’t get the gay love of Beyonce. I dig her music but she hasn’t don’t anything for LGBT causes and she doesnt seem interested in doing so. When LGBT of Houston begged her to support them in stopping anti gay laws from being supported there she did nothing but post a pic of the pizza she was eating. She does not care and isn’t gonna care. Doesnt mean I won’t still buy her music but cmon and give the worship a break. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/carlos-maza/beyonce-ignored-the-lgbt_b_8474620.html

This is not true at all. Beyonce has repeatedly supported LGBTQ causes and people. She spoke out in favor of LGBT marriage in 2013 before it was legalized. Working with GLSEN, she called for “100 Days of Kindness” to support LGBT people, especially LGBT youth. She spoke out in February of last year on behalf of trans people after Trump issued his ban on trans soldiers. (All of this is easily searchable via Google.) Carlos Maza is right about Houston, but wrong about Beyonce’s overall expressed support for LGBT people, especially LGBT kids.

She’s so over rated and over hyped..rap is also fading ..there are many others I’d rather see or buy their music. She isn’t one of them .same with jlo…Rhianna..Brittany..Christina…Jennifer Hudson… etc
Bob LaBlah
Personally I have always felt that her vocals aren’t worth squat and were it not for the pyrotechnics, dancing and costumes she would have faded long ago. She aint no Whitney Houston when it comes to vocals. That skit at the 2017 Grammy’s when she more or less was presented as a pregnant goddess all wrapped up in gold was the last straw.

I do not get why Beyonce is so popular; for that matter, I don’t get why MOST of today’s popular music is so popular. I guess it is now official–I have been transformed into my parents.
