Remember that time Beyoncé dropped her career-defining album Lemonade out of nowhere, and we all thought there’s nothing else in this world she could possibly do to surprise us?

Well, think again.

Queen Bey just released a live album, Homecoming, which came just in time for the premiere of her Netflix concert film of the same name.

This record is a gift that keeps on giving and features a total of 40 live cuts of her biggest hits. “Single Ladies” and “Crazy in Love” are some of the classics on this album, but it also features several Destiny’s Child tracks, including “Say My Name” and “Lose My Breath”.

This album dropped on April 17, the same date when her new concert film started streaming on Netflix. It captures the extremely emotional journey Beyoncé went on while preparing for her 2018 Coachella performance, and saw her opening up about some of her lowest moments.

“My mind was not there. My mind wanted to be with my children. What people don’t see is the sacrifice. I would dance and go off to the trailer and breastfeed the babies, the days I could I would bring the children,” revealed the R&B icon in her Netflix film.
