"Unreleased" is the eponymous studio album by American singer and songwriter Beyoncé Knowles, released on 5 January, 2014. by Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. Described by Knowles as a "visual album", Beyoncé consists of fourteen tracks, each having an accompanying short film. Musically, the album explores electro-R&B and pop elements, combining minimalist production, loose song structure and emotive vocals. Knowles revisits her common theme of self-empowerment, but takes on much darker themes previously unexplored in her music, such as postnatal depression, insecurities of womanhood and frank, often explicit, discussion of sex.
Homecoming: The Live Album (stylized as HΘMΣCΘMING: THE LIVE ALBUM) is the fifth live album by American singer Beyoncé, which was released on April 17, 2019. Recorded on April 14 and 21, 2018, at the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, California, just over one year prior to the album's premiere, the set features the entirety of Beyoncé's performance at the music festival which has since been deemed as "historic" by a number of music critics and media outlets. Two studio tracks – a cover of Maze's song "Before I Let Go" (which was previously covered by Destiny's Child in the late nineties but never officially released) and "I Been On" – follow the live recording, bringing the album's length to just short of two hours. The album's release coincided with the release of Homecoming, a documentary about the Coachella set that premiered on the streaming platform Netflix on April 17, 2019.
