Sound the alarm: Beyoncé has released her next album.

Lemonade debuted exclusively on Tidal following the singer’s HBO special of the same name on Saturday night. According to the streaming service, the collection—Beyonce’s sixth album and her second visual album—is “a conceptual project based on every woman’s journey of self-knowledge and healing.”

Lemonade, which features 12 songs and a corresponding short film, is Bey’s first album since dropping her surprise self-titled record in 2013 and its platinum version, which housed remixes and additional songs, in 2014. The album went on to sell more than 5 million copies worldwide and earn three Grammy Awards.

In February, Beyoncé released her new song “Formation” with a surprise music video to go along with it, just days before she performed at the Super Bowl halftime show with Coldplay and Bruno Mars. During the show, she announced that her “Formation” world tour will kick off in Miami on April 27 and run through July.

The surprise release has become a staple for Beyoncé since she dropped 2013’s Beyoncé and music videos for each track with no lead-up or promotion.
