Okay once again the royal family of hip-hop strikes again. After JayZ released MCHG (Magna Carta Holy Grail) this year, a shockingly awesome album for Samsung devices only in the first month of release. I knew it won't be too long before Beyoncé made a big come back. After being away from the active music scene for almost 2 years, the diva just shocked the music world by releasing her fifth studio album without warning, and the ramifications don't end there. The "visual album," simply entitled Beyoncé, is exclusively available on iTunes, and sells for $15.99 without the ability to purchase any of the 14 tracks individually. It features guest appearances from the likes of Frank Ocean, Drake, and Jay-Z, and there is an accompanying music video for each song alongside three additional clips.
Although the new Beyoncé album appears to be a major coup for Apple, the price and download restrictions harken back to a time when customers would have to pay in full for every song on a CD. The queen is back.
