Beyoncé's "4" was an entirely different album than planned.
Quote:
We did a whole Fela album that didn’t go up. It was right before we did 4. We did a whole different sounding thing, about twenty songs. She said she wanted to do something that sounds like Fela. That’s why there’s so much of that sound in the “End of Time.”
There’s always multiple albums being made. Most of the time we’re just being creative, period. We’re talking about B, somebody who sings all day long and somebody who writes all day long. There’s probably a hundred records just sitting around.
http://genius.com/Beyonce-end-of-time-lyrics I need to hear those songs. I think that's the album the Sony execs were talking about when they said it's different from anything that's ever been done at the time.

Here’s the perfect time to bring up the whispers about you guys doing new music with Beyoncé. Tricky: I can’t speak on that too much. But let me just say she’s the greatest right here, right now. But at the same time I don’t know if people realize she belongs on the Mount Rushmore of the best of the best.
I really hope she still releases an album like this... it's clear that she has a love for it. It'd be good for her artistically and to stray away from Top 40 like she wants.
