I am not a fan of hers but this strategy of releasing a new album is fun.
Without any further announcement there is now a full album "Beyonce" available. No lead single, just a few iTunes banner now there to promote it.
https://itunes.apple.com/de/album/beyonce/id780330041
For every song they shot a video which is part of the album. The album can only be purchased as a full download.
Just because it's so unconvential I might give it a spin.
XO is apparently the Ryan Tedder song from which he said it's better and bigger than "Halo"
Quote"Personally the song we did I like more than 'Halo'. I think it's a bigger, better song," Tedder said.

I'm downloading this. The thing is going viral, like Kanye's Yeezus.
No Max Martin/Luke? No care.
lol.
Not a Dr Luke song, but Ammo from Dr Lukes publishing company produced Preety Hurts co-written by Sia !!!!
The full album is unexpected and awesome at the same time.
Pretty Hurts is one of my favourite moments on it.

She don't need them -- she's listed as co-producer on every song on there but one, and lead songwriter on EVERY song, lol
Don't believe it! Once she also said she wrote Halo.

Ghostwriting. It's the only way for a songwriter to get a high profile placement.

Her response is such BS, she must think people are stupid......I read the song lyrics.....to stick that audio on to lyrics that have nothing to do with it at all is just TACKY! :-( Also interesting that she says '' the songwriters......." --distancing herself, when she is listed as lead writer on the song........ XO Written By: (Beyonce Knowles / Terius "The-Dream" Nash / Ryan "Alias" Tedder)
Produced By: (Ryan "Alias" Tedder / Chauncey "Hit-Boy" Hollis / Beyonce Knowles) (from complex.com)
I agree that it isvery lame that she distances herself, while having been in the middle of the creative process, no matter if she was a songwriter or not. It's HER album, SHE sings it, so better have the guts to defend your song.
This is totally insensitve and offensive. How can Beyonce compare the Challenger disaster with a song about a failed relationship? Beyonce needs to remove the clip from her song.
I hear that she never writes stuff and gets credit for them, some people also call her "Thiefonce".
I actually think she is one of the biggest overrated artists of our time.

I agree 100% with you. Savan Kotecha once ranted about artists who buy their credits just to gain musical credibility.
