Beyonce has announced the initial singles for her new self-titled visual album.

After slapping the internet in the face with the surprise release of her self titled album, Beyonce has decided to reveal the official singles from the project.

The unconventional release strategy, which seems to have played to her favor in terms of sales, also gave Bey the luxury of gauging which tracks were catching on before deciding on a single.

In another smart move, Bey has decided to release two simultaneous singles for the project-- each aimed at a different market. "Blow," produced by 2013 Billboard MVP Pharrell Williams, will take on the top 40, while "Drunk In Love," her latest of many duets with Mr. Carter, will take the urban route.

The Dream-penned (and D'angelo-indebted) "XO" will follow as her third single in 2014.

Check out the video for "Blow" below.

Beyonce, please leave Shawn Carter and raise up Blue Ivy the way she should go. You grew up in the church and even before marrying Jay-Z had forsaken the grace of God. You are talented and gifted, but you are using your gifts to deceive and lead astray. Get back on track. Trust in God. Seek Jesus. Wake up!! You know what you're doing and what you're capable of doing for the kingdom of God. -HallMarc

Her releasing her album out of nowhere is not really original she just use kanye and jay z idea so her releasing the album out of nowhere does not suprise or impress me. I feel dat nipsey hussle had the best idea of releasing his project
