Beyonce and Jay-Z have given their fans something to sing about: Music’s royal couple dropped a surprise new collaborative album on Saturday. The nine-track Everything Is Love is available only on Tidal, the streaming service which the pair co-own.

But all fans can see the video for one of the new songs — a tune called “Apes**t” — which was shot clandestinely in the Louvre in Paris. It’s another work of art associated with the museum that already boasts the “Mona Lisa” and the “Winged Victory of the Samothrace.”

The new album landed as Beyonce and Jay-Z were readying for their concert Saturday night in London as part of their joint On the Run II tour.
