Even with Colours where she stuck closer to concept we still had songs like Hello New Me/Now & Forever/Pray that just didn’t fit.
i have this problem with a good part of her discographie from MY STORY to RNRC, but I blame it on the way the music market works, with several singles being released before the album. Those most likely were produced way before she was even thinking about an album.

PQ seens to pick its sound from the lyrics themes, so it doesn't bother me. MIJ follows a recent trend of releasing mixtapeish albums (Lemonade and Anti being notorious examples).

Colours IMO suffers from the "too many singles before the album" problem. Or in this case, promotional tracks that were tie-ins.

Tbh her only albums that sound cohesive for me are Loveppears, RAINBOW, Love songs ans A One
