Late last year, Beyonce shocked critics and fans alike by releasing Beyonce — her fifth studio album — without any warning. Since then, we've all been playing catch-up, but a steady trickle of singles and videos have highlighted some of the album's sharper tracks — and the latest cut, "Partition," is a borderline NSFW video that's sure to get fans talking.
"Partition" is an ode to Beyonce's relationship with Jay-Z — and it's safe to say that married life hasn't cooled their passions. "45 minutes to get all dressed up, and we ain't even gonna make it to this club," sings Beyonce in the steamy cut from her self-titled fifth studio album, debuting a wide range of revealing outfits that include a diamond-encrusted bustier, a black thong, and eventually — in silhouette — a pair of high heels with nothing else.
