Beyoncé (album)
''Beyoncé'' is the fifth studio album by American singer and songwriter Beyoncé. It was released on December 13, 2013, through Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. Created as a visual album, it was released in the middle of the night as a complete surprise. The album and its release are frequently credited with inventing the modern definition of the visual album, being the first surprise album of its kind to have no prior announcement, and provoking the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) to change the day of the week when music is released worldwide from Tuesday to Friday. Its initial recording began in New York City, where Beyoncé invited the "world's best" producers and songwriters to live with her in a mansion for a month. During extensive touring the following year, the album changed as she conceived of creating a visual accompaniment to its songs and resumed recording sessions with electronic producer and rock musician Boots.
