Beyoncé recorded about eighty (!) songs for her new album

Former advert soundtrack artiste Beyoncé has revealed that she recorded eighty (EIGHT ZERO) songs for her new album, which as you may have heard was released a few weeks back with minimal fuss.

Not only did she record quite a few songs, but most of them were recorded about a year ago, which means we could have had the album a lot sooner, but then we sort of knew that already didn't we.

"When I started picking the songs that I grav­it­ated towards, because I recorded about 80 songs, it was the songs that were more effort­less for me that stuck around that I still love that I loved a year ago when I recorded them," she explained in part 3 of these making of videos she's been doing.
