NEW YORK \u2014 There’s no more juice in Beyonce’s lemonade jar: The singer did not release new music though two albums featuring old Beyonce songs hit streaming services Thursday.<\/p>\n

Under the name Queen Carter, the albums \u201cHave Your Way\u201d and \u201cBack Up, Rewind\u201d appeared on Spotify and Apple Music, featuring demos, previously released songs and unreleased tracks by Beyonce. Hours later, they were removed.<\/p>\n

The 10-track \u201cHave Your Way\u201d included songs like \u201cAfter All Is Said and Done,\u201d Beyonce’s duet with Marc Nelson from the \u201cBest Man\u201d soundtrack, released in 1999; \u201cHollywood,\u201d a song with Jay-Z from his 2006 album, \u201cKingdom Come\u201d; and \u201cHey Goldmember\u201d from the soundtrack for 2002’s \u201cAustin Powers in Goldmember,\u201d which starred Beyonce. It also featured \u201cCrazy Feelings,\u201d the singer’s collaboration with Missy Elliott from the rapper’s sophomore album, 1999’s \u201cDa Real World\u201d; and \u201cFever,\u201d a cover of the ’50’s hit used in an ad for Beyonce’s perfume and for the soundtrack for \u201cThe Fighting Temptations,\u201d another film Beyonce appeared in.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack Up, Rewind,\u201d featured 11 tracks including \u201cKeep Giving Your Love to Me,\u201d from the \u201cBad Boys II\u201d soundtrack, released in 2003, and \u201cWhat It’s Gonna Be,\u201d a Beyonce bonus track from 2003.<\/p>\n

The stand-alone song, \u201cControl,\u201d also appeared on streaming services.<\/p>\n

Representatives for Beyonce, Apple Music and Spotify didn’t immediately return emails seeking comment.<\/p>\n

Beyonce’s last three albums were released in surprise form: her self-titled album came out in 2013; \u201cLemonade\u201d followed in 2016; and \u201cEverything is Love,\u201d her collaborative album with Jay-Z where the couple is billed as The Carters, was released earlier this year.<\/p>\n

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). SZA called the project \u201crandom scratches from 2015\u201d and explained that the songs are \u201cdef not new new!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
