BEYONCÉ CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF B’DAY WITH EXPANDED REMASTERED EDITION

A landmark album returns with Spanish recordings, rare material, previously unreleased tracks, and a new collaboration honoring Selena Quintanilla.

Twenty years after its original release, Beyoncé is revisiting B’Day with an expanded remastered edition that brings together material from across the album’s history while introducing previously unheard recordings.

The anniversary release features Spanish-language recordings, previously released bonus tracks, and new material including “Can I Watch You” featuring Pharrell. The project also adds a new Spanish version of “Irreplaceable”, incorporating previously released vocals from the late Selena Quintanilla.

TWO DECADES OF B’DAY

Originally released in 2006, B’Day became one of the defining albums of Beyoncé’s early solo career. The project delivered a string of enduring songs and established a sound built around bold vocals, rhythmic production, pop precision, and R&B influence.

The new edition gives longtime listeners an opportunity to revisit that era while also hearing material that was not part of the original album experience.

A SPANISH-LANGUAGE CONNECTION

Spanish recordings have been part of the B’Day story since the album’s original era, and the anniversary edition places that material back into focus alongside the new recordings.

Among the most notable additions is the Spanish version of “Irreplaceable,” which features previously released vocals from Selena Quintanilla. The inclusion creates a connection between two major voices in popular music while adding another dimension to one of Beyoncé’s best-known songs.

NEW MATERIAL, OLD ERA

“Can I Watch You”, featuring Pharrell, is among the previously unheard material included in the anniversary project. Its arrival gives fans a new piece of the creative world surrounding B’Day while preserving the album’s original identity.

Rather than simply reproducing the original tracklist, the expanded edition presents B’Day as an evolving body of work—one that can be experienced through its original recordings, Spanish-language material, bonus tracks, and newly surfaced songs.

AN ALBUM WORTH REVISITING

For Beyoncé, the anniversary provides an opportunity to look back at a pivotal period in her career while giving listeners additional material connected to the album’s legacy.

Twenty years later, B’Day remains a significant chapter in Beyoncé’s catalog. The remastered edition expands that chapter, bringing together familiar recordings and archival material for a new generation of listeners—and longtime fans who remember the album from its first release.

THE LEGACY

Twenty years later, B’Day gets another chapter.
