When Beyonce announced the re-release of her fifth album last week, some lamented on the meaty price-point of the newly christened ‘Platinum Edition’.
Indeed, despite the project featuring new songs, remixes and being marketed as more a collectors item than a full-on reboot, the $30 / £30 cost irked a few – namely many who purchased the original LP last year.
They need not fret, though.
Because, today it’s been announced that the new material will also be available as a standalone EP digitally.
Details below…
Retailing at $8.99, the ‘Beyonce’ “add on pack” will arrive on the same day as the full re-release (November 24th) and is currently available for pre-order.
Its tracklist is as follows…
1) 7/11
2) Flawless (Remix) (ft. Nicki Minaj)
3) Drunk In Love (Remix) (ft. Jay Z & Kanye West)
4) Ring Off
5) Blow (Remix) (ft. Pharrell Williams)
6) Standing On The Sun (Remix) (ft. Mr Vegas)
7) Run The World (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
8) Flawless (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
9) Get Me Bodied (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
10) Blow (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
11) Haunted (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
12) Drunk In Love (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
13) 1+1 (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
14) Partition (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
15) Heaven (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
16) XO (Mrs. Carter Show Video)
*******************
Very smart move. Selling the new material (no matter how slim) in a cheaper standalone capacity will no doubt give sales of the ‘Beyonce’ project overall a big boost.
