What is the title of Beyoncé’s 2014 surprise visual album?

Beyoncé’s 2014 surprise visual album is titled Beyoncé.

The self-titled fifth studio album appeared without a traditional pre-release campaign on December 13, 2013, although it is commonly associated with the year 2014 because its videos and cultural impact unfolded across that period. It was released digitally through the iTunes Store and arrived with a music video for every song.

The project changed expectations for album promotion. Instead of leading with months of singles and announcements, Beyoncé presented the music and visuals together as a unified work. Songs included “Drunk in Love,” “Partition,” and “Flawless.”

The album is often confused with later visual projects, especially Lemonade and Black Is King. Beyoncé is the album’s official title, and critics frequently describe it as a visual album because its release included 17 accompanying videos. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
