Entitled "Beyonce," the digital compilation is the singer's first visual album and contains videos filmed in Houston, New York, Paris, Sydney and Rio de Janeiro, many of the shots filmed during her "Mrs. Carter Show World Tour." Physical album copies in CD and DVD format will be available this month.

"When I'm connected to something, I immediately see a visual or a series of images that are tied to a feeling or an emotion, a memory from my childhood, thoughts about life, my dreams or my fantasies. And they are all connected to the music," Beyonce said of the visual components of the album.

Beyonce returned to the musical spotlight this year after taking time out to give birth to her first child, daughter Blue Ivy, with rapper husband Jay Z.

"Beyonce" follows the singer's June 2011 record, "4." Collaborators on the new album include Jay Z, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, Drake and Justin Timberlake.

The visual album sheds a glimpse into Beyonce's personal and professional life that fans and the public do not usually see from the generally private couple.

The song "Blue" features vocals from baby Blue Ivy, who was born in January 2012. The accompanying music video, one of four co-directed by Beyonce, shows mother and daughter cuddling against the vibrant backdrops of Brazil's beaches and towns.

On "Drunk in Love," the singer cavorts on a beach at nighttime while Jay Z raps on the track, a follow-up to the couple's 2003 duet on Beyonce's "Crazy in Love."
