Markus Klinko and Modern Rocks GalleryBeyonce fans went wild on Thursday amid rumors of a pair of surprise albums from the superstar, but the excitement quickly fizzled.
About 20 previously unreleased Beyonce tracks surfaced on Spotify and Apple Music under the pseudonym Queen Carter, but the songs were mostly b-sides and demos from previous albums.
The tracks were uploaded between Dec. 14 and Dec. 15 in the form of two albums: “Back Up, Rewind” and “Have Your Way.” The tracks came to light on Thursday when Twitter users began posting about new music from the queen.
Notably, the songs were not uploaded to JAY-Z’s Tidal
