While Self-Titled is more ambitious and Lemonade hits harder thematically, 4 is still my favorite Beyoncé album. R&B singer SZA on Thursday addressed an album of her older demos that recently hit streaming services under the name Sister Solana (her real name is Solana Rowe).Today marks the 9th anniversary of 4. Representatives for Beyonce, Apple Music and Spotify didn't immediately return emails seeking comment.īeyonce's last three albums were released in surprise form: her self-titled album came out in 2013 "Lemonade" followed in 2016 and "Everything is Love," her collaborative album with Jay-Z where the couple is billed as The Carters, was released earlier this year. The stand-alone song, "Control," also appeared on streaming services. "Back Up, Rewind," featured 11 tracks including "Keep Giving Your Love to Me," from the "Bad Boys II" soundtrack, released in 2003, and "What It's Gonna Be," a Beyonce bonus track from 2003.

It also featured "Crazy Feelings," the singer's collaboration with Missy Elliott from the rapper's sophomore album, 1999's "Da Real World" and "Fever," a cover of the '50's hit used in an ad for Beyonce's perfume and for the soundtrack for "The Fighting Temptations," another film Beyonce appeared in. The 10-track "Have Your Way" included songs like "After All Is Said and Done," Beyonce's duet with Marc Nelson from the "Best Man" soundtrack, released in 1999 "Hollywood," a song with Jay-Z from his 2006 album, "Kingdom Come" and "Hey Goldmember" from the soundtrack for 2002's "Austin Powers in Goldmember," which starred Beyonce.
