Apparently, right before the Super Bowl, Beyoncé released a new video without much prior notice — “Formation” — and, wow, angry and political and amazingly sexy in a way that I didn’t see her before — to me Beyoncé has always had kind of a cold sex appeal—distant and sort of guarded—but this video is _hot_. Amazing.

As always with Beyoncé, though, I keep wishing I liked the music. It’s just not an enjoyable listen to me.

Even though I seriously could’ve done without her during the halftime show, I LOVE this. It is seriously badass and she kills it. Looks awesome in it too.
