The 40-track album has a few extra bonus features as well.

To celebrate the release of her Netflix documentary, Homecoming: A Film By Beyoncé, the Queen of the Beyhive dropped a surprise 40-track album of her 2018 Coachella performance titled Homecoming: The Live Album. The majority of the album comes straight from Bey's two-hour performance at the desert festival, however, it's a more direct version of the live show.

The Beyhive was already staying awake to the wee hours of the morning, so this album drop was an additional bit of love for the fans who stan so hard. There are still rumors that there's supposed to be another surprise album release with an album allegedly titled B7, but this live joint may just put those rumors to bed. 

When Beyoncé spoke of her Coachella performance with Vogue for her September cover feature, she talked about the cultural significance of the moment. “I swear I felt pure joy shining down on us,” she said. “I know that most of the young people on the stage and in the audience did not know the history of the black national anthem before Coachella. But they understood the feeling it gave them. It was a celebration of all the people who sacrificed more than we could ever imagine, who moved the world forward so that it could welcome a woman of color to headline such a festival.”
