Everything Is Love

Everything Is Love is the debut studio album by American musical superduo the Carters, consisting of spouses Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter. It was released on June 16, 2018, by their respective labels Parkwood Entertainment and Roc Nation—with distribution from Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment. Beyoncé and Jay-Z produced the album alongside a variety of collaborators, including Cool & Dre, Boi-1da, and Pharrell Williams. Additional vocalists recorded for the album include Williams, Quavo, Offset (both from Migos), and Ty Dolla Sign, among others. The hip-hop and R&B album incorporates soul and trap sounds, and its lyrics explore themes of romantic love, fame, wealth, and black pride. The album was not made public until its release was announced by Beyoncé and Jay-Z while onstage at a London concert for their On the Run II Tour and later through their social media accounts. It was originally exclusive to the music distribution service Tidal, before given a wider release on June 18, 2018. Everything Is Love debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, and it reached the top five on charts in Canada, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, and the UK. At the 61st Annual Grammy Awards, the album won for Best Urban Contemporary Album.
