"Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 has revealed that she recorded &amp;quot;around 80 songs&amp;quot; for her latest album. The singer recently shocked fans when she released a surprise visual album without any promotion.  She said: &amp;quot;When I started picking the songs that I gravitated towards, because I recorded about 80 songs, it was the songs that were more effortless to me that stuck around.&amp;quot; Speaking in a behind-the-scenes video about the recording process, the popstar also discussed what it was like to collaborate with her husband Jay Z on the track &amp;#039;Drunk in Love&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;Jay went in and he started flowing out his verse,&amp;quot; she recalled. &amp;quot;We just kinda had a party. It wasn&amp;#039;t about any ego, we weren&amp;#039;t trying to make a hit record. We were just having fun, and I think you can hear that in the record.&amp;quot;      The former Destiny&amp;#039;s Child member added: &amp;quot;I wanted to carry this idea of being in the moment and embracing mistakes and effortlessness into the videos. I wish every video was like &amp;#039;Drunk&amp;#039;.&amp;quot;  On the direction of her clips, she explained: &amp;quot;If it was my choice, I would never have a permit. I would just get in the car, get a camera, and we&amp;#039;d just shoot, and trust me, we tried. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m trying to rebel against perfection. It&amp;#039;s fun because you never know what&amp;#039;s going to happen.&amp;quot; Watch the video for Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Drunk in Love&amp;#039; featuring Jay Z below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
