A GAME-CHANGER in every way, Beyonce's new self-titled album embodies everything about the future of music. Released out of the blue on iTunes last week (physical copies will ship only later this month), it caught the industry and fans by surprise but went on to sell over 800,000 copies worldwide in just three days. All this without any prior hype or promotion by the press and fans taking a chance by paying full price for something they know nothing about. Not only that, every track came with a music video, a move unheard of in the industry. This new work by Queen B is set to become a case study for digital music.
