Long before there was Lemonade, Beyonce and Jay Z attempted to put out a joint album, sources tell Billboard, and the power couple still may see the project through in the near future.
Talk of a combined musical effort began during the twosome's On the Run stadium tour in summer 2014. According to a source, Jay Z and Beyonce had "nearly finished" a record together but never quite did.
"The label wouldn't agree to the joint album," says an insider of Beyonce's longtime home at Columbia Records, a subsidiary of Sony Music. But a Sony source counters that claim, insisting that the company is "open to" partnering with the husband-and-wife team for such a project. (Billboard has reached out to reps for Beyonce; a rep for Jay Z declined to comment.)
