The 34-year-old singer has gone and dropped a surprise new album on us again, in the form of an artistic film on HBO.

Fans were originally convinced that the film - which opened with a bleak picutre of betrayed and jealous Beyonce smashing cars in New Orleans - was an elaborate announcement that she star had split from her rapper husband, Jay-Z.

But it seems all is well in this musically talented marriage: towards the end of the film, in a chapter entitled Forgiveness, Bey and Jay are pictured embracing.

Some fans will have to wait to hear Beyonce's latest body of work: she has exclusively released Lemonade on the Jay-Z led Tidal streaming service.

The film also acts as a tribute to African American women, showing them in roles as speakers, artists and dancers.
