The release was promoted with the release of "Flawless (Remix)" in the United States as the lead single from the box set on August 12, 2014, followed by "7/11" as the second single on November 25, 2014.

Background and release

Beyoncé unexpectedly released her self-titled fifth studio album on December 13, 2013, without prior announcement at exactly 12:00 AM.[2] The record was a commercial success, debuting at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 with three-day sales of 617,000 copies,[3] and remained at the summit of the chart for three in a half consecutive weeks.[4] Additionally, the release had sold five million copies by November 2014.[5] Reports of a follow-up record first surfaced early that month, at which time it was widely speculated that Beyoncé would release a second volume of the project on November 25 without prior promotion.[6] Parkwood Entertainment confirmed that a reportedly-leaked track listing for the record was "completely made up",[7] and instead revealed the Platinum Edition reissue of Beyoncé, alongside the tracklist for the expanded four-disc box set.[8]

The Platinum Edition was released through physical retailers and online music stores on November 24, 2014; it was simultaneously made available on Spotify for the first time since the original record was premiered.[9] The box set is packaged with the audio and visual discs from the original record, a DVD subtitled Live with ten performances filmed during The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour (2013–14), a six-track CD subtitled More, and a smaller version of the official 2015 Beyoncé calendar.[10] Live and More were digitally released as a standalone extended play, titled More Only, through digital music platforms;[11][12][13]

New material

Of the six tracks included on More Only, four are remixes of the previously released songs, and two are newly recorded songs.[14] "7/11", which is an uptempo hip hop piece,[15] features Auto-Tune in its composition.[16] The track incorporates several rapping verses by Beyoncé. Caitlin White from MTV News likened the song's production to that of Beyoncé's "Bow Down / I Been On", which was released in March 2013.[15] Lyrically, "7/11" is about Beyoncé's detailing her dance moves: "I put up my hands up, spinning while my hands up / [...] Legs move it side to side, smack in the air."[17] "Ring Off" is described as a midtempo reggae ballad that features dancehall rhythms with slight elements of dubstep.[18][19][20][21] The track, in which she sings: "Mama, I understand your many sleepless nights / When you think about father / and how you tried to be the perfect wife... I wish you didn't hurt at all," addresses the end of a marriage between Beyoncé's parents,[22] Tina and Mathew Knowles. "Standing on the Sun" is an uptempo reggae-inflected song with an island/Caribbean flavor to it. It originally was meant for the album along with Grown Woman, however it was removed from the track list around October 2013.[23][24]

The extended play version of "Drunk in Love" features a guest appearance from Kanye West, who provided vocals for the official remix; the song features an explicit verse by himself and a slightly modified instrumental produced by Mike Dean. In his lines, West rapped about his wife Kim Kardashian and referenced the video for his own song, "Bound 2" (2013).[25] Musically, the remix to "Flawless" was noted for being a slower version of the original and containing new, sexually explicit verses.[26][27][28] It also contains a sample from the horns of Outkast's song "Spottieottiedopaliscious".[29]Nicki Minaj provides a rapid-fire delivery using a low timbre.[28] Her lyrics reference the work of Kanye West on the song "Monster", her own success and compares her detractors with Michael Jackson's convicted doctor through numerous punch lines.[28][30]

Reception

Ben Sisario from The New York Times commented that the Platinum Edition continued the trend of "repackaging hit albums with some extra content" in order to maintain a successful commercial performance. Furthermore, he noted that Iggy Azalea reissued her debut studio album The New Classic (2014) as Reclassified and that Paramore re-released their self-titled fourth studio album (2013) in a deluxe version the same day that Beyoncé launched her repackage. However, Trans World Entertainment vice president for music merchandising Ish Cuebas acknowledged that initial interest in the Platinum Edition appeared "light".[31]

In a review for Cuepoint, Robert Christgau gave the Platinum Edition an "A" grade and argued that, unlike most superfluous live DVDs, the third disc "rules, not just for Ms. Knowles's legendary stage discipline and expert dance routines but for a star-time visage further beautified by how readily it projects empathy, humor, and fun to fans who get it all". He concluded that this platinum edition of the album is the "best Bey ever" because the addition of the "More Only" CD dilutes the tedious themes of dignity present on the original album in favor of more lustful, erotic songs.[32] Christgau ranked its More Only portion as the seventh best album of 2014 in his year-end list for The Barnes & Noble Review.[33]

Beyonce Caitlin White from MTV News likened the song s production to that of Beyonce s Bow Down I Been On which was released in March 2013 15 Lyrically 7 11 is about Beyonce s detailing her dance moves I put up my hands up spinning while my hands up Legs move it side to side smack in the air 17 Ring Off is described as a midtempo reggae ballad that features dancehall rhythms with slight elements of dubstep 18 19 20 21 The track in which she sings Mama I understand your many sleepless nights When you think about father and how you tried to be the perfect wife I wish you didn t hurt at all addresses the end of a marriage between Beyonce s parents 22 Tina and Mathew Knowles Standing on the Sun is an uptempo reggae inflected song with an island Caribbean flavor to it It originally was meant for the album along with Grown Woman however it was removed from the track list around October 2013 23 24 The extended play version of Drunk in Love features a guest appearance from Kanye West who provided vocals for the official remix the song features an explicit verse by himself and a slightly modified instrumental produced by Mike Dean In his lines West rapped about his wife Kim Kardashian and referenced the video for his own song Bound 2 2013 25 Musically the remix to Flawless was noted for being a slower version of the original and containing new sexually explicit verses 26 27 28 It also contains a sample from the horns of Outkast s song Spottieottiedopaliscious 29 Nicki Minaj provides a rapid fire delivery using a low timbre 28 Her lyrics reference the work of Kanye West on the song Monster her own success and compares her detractors with Michael Jackson s convicted doctor through numerous punch lines 28 30 Reception EditBen Sisario from The New York Times commented that the Platinum Edition continued the trend of repackaging hit albums with some extra content in order to maintain a successful commercial performance Furthermore he noted that Iggy Azalea reissued her debut studio album The New Classic 2014 as Reclassified and that Paramore re released their self titled fourth studio album 2013 in a deluxe version the same day that Beyonce launched her repackage However Trans World Entertainment vice president for music merchandising Ish Cuebas acknowledged that initial interest in the Platinum Edition appeared light 31 In a review for Cuepoint Robert Christgau gave the Platinum Edition an A grade and argued that unlike most superfluous live DVDs the third disc rules not just for Ms Knowles s legendary stage discipline and expert dance routines but for a star time visage further beautified by how readily it projects empathy humor and fun to fans who get it all He concluded that this platinum edition of the album is the best Bey ever because the addition of the More Only CD dilutes the tedious themes of dignity present on the original album in favor of more lustful erotic songs 32 Christgau ranked its More Only portion as the seventh best album of 2014 in his year end list for The Barnes amp Noble Review 33 Track listing EditCredits adapted from the liner notes of Beyonce Platinum Edition 34 35 Beyonce Disc one Audio 36 No
