Not only did Beyoncé just drop her highly anticipated Netflix special, Homecoming, she also revealed a surprise album under the same name.
Homecoming: The Live Album dropped early Wednesday morning and has caused a stir of excitement across the world among the “Bey-hive”.
This isn’t the first time the Single Ladies star has released an unexpected record though. She did the same with her last two studio albums, Beyoncé (2013) and Lemonade (2016).
The best part? Homecoming: The Live Album features 40 individual tracks — performances of all her biggest hits and some of the hidden gems recorded live in concert, including Crazy in Love, Baby Boy, and Deja Vu.

That’s not all though: the album highlights three studio tracks which have never been heard before. Her 2013 demo for I Been On gets an update, suggesting to fans it could be part of an upcoming album. There’s also a groundbreaking cover of Frankie Beverly and Maze’s Before I Let Go.
Blue Ivy — daughter of Beyoncé, 37, and husband, Jay Z — is also captured singing the timeless Lift Every Voice and Sing.
In the album’s Netflix counterpart, Beyoncé can also be seen singing this song during her massive 2018 Coachella performance.
Homecoming is a two-hour special which not only captures her explosive set, but it takes a deeper and more intimate look into the singer’s life, featuring interviews and candid footage of her journey leading up to it.
