Updated:
A surprise album or surprise release is an album or single with little or no prior announcement, marketing, or promotion. The strategy contrasts traditional album releases, which typically feature weeks or months of advertising in the form of singles, music videos, tour announcements, and album pre-sales.
The concept of the surprise album originated in minimally publicized releases such as Radiohead's In Rainbows (2007) and became a widely adopted strategy after Beyoncé became the first artist to release an album with no prior announcement with her self-titled record (2013).
