It's been almost two months since Beyonce release the single "Formation" and the accompanying music video, both of which caused a lot of controversy.

This was quickly followed by the Superbowl performance with Coldplay and Bruno Mars, but since then, there's been very little news on the next single or the upcoming album.

Beyonce had attended the the Justice for Trayvon Martin rally in 2013, while Tidal (co-owned by Beyonce's husband Jay-Z) has donated $1.5 million to Black Lives Matter organisations already this year.

It would appear that the controversy surrounding "Formation" may have just been the tip of the iceberg for what Beyonce has in mind for her upcoming album. Watch this space...
