American pop icons Beyonce and Jay-Z dropped a surprise album last night, announcing the release during their London show. The album had no prior build-up or promotion and was only revealed when screens at the gig projected the words “album out now”, coinciding with the release of first single “APES**T”.

The album, simply named “The Carters”, marks their first full-length joint effort. They have however collaborated many times before, namely on singles such as “Drunk In Love”, “Crazy In Love” and “Bonnie & Clyde”.

Though the release was not announced or even teased officially, eagle-eyed fans believe that Beyonce may have dropped one subtle hint. During her set at Coachella festival, she posed on stage while signing the numbers six and three. The album’s release marks 63 days since the show.

“The Carters” may be a collaboration between the husband and wife team, but many other musicians have lent their skills to the project. Pharell Williams can be heard singing on “NICE”, while TV On The Radio frontman Dave Sitek appears on “LOVEHAPPY”. Ty Dolla $ign also contributed, specifically on the track “BOSS”, and Quavo of Migos fame appeared on “APES**T”, the first single released.

The full album is available to stream on Jay-Z’s own streaming service Tidal, and also includes a bonus track called “SALUD!”. The full tracklist can be seen below:
