It cannot be understated just how monumental of an event that Beyonce’s surprise release was. Its success despite having such an unorthodox release strategy was a testament to the power of Beyonce. Many artists would follow suit, releasing their own projects with no prior announcements. But none would come close to replicating the pop culture moment that Beyonce had caused.
This era was the beginning of Beyonce subverting expectations and Self Titled is an album that did so in every conceivable way with regards to the career of Beyonce. The album’s surprise release was one way to catch people off guard, but the album itself surprises and subverts even moreso.
