Beyoncé Releases B'DAY (20th Anniversary Edition)

The reissue widens the album’s cultural reach with new Spanish‑language collaborations, a Celia Cruz sample and recolored 35mm videos.

Overview

  • The anniversary edition is available now on digital platforms and pairs remastered originals with previously unreleased tracks and new collaborations.
  • New Spanish‑language material includes a duet with Maluma, “Cuerpo (Tumbao),” which incorporates a fragment of Celia Cruz’s “La Negra Tiene Tumbao.”
  • The set features a posthumous pairing with Selena on “Irreemplazable (Como La Flor)” that blends Beyoncé’s vocals with the late singer’s recorded performance.
  • Archival material was restored for the release, with original 35mm videos remastered and recolored in 4K, including Sophie Muller’s Déjà Vu featuring JAY‑Z.
  • B'DAY originally arrived in 2006 as a high‑energy, percussion‑driven R&B record and Beyoncé says the reissue preserves that live‑instrumentation sound while expanding the album’s reach into Latin markets.
