Formation was the only pre-release, yes, but that's because the release system in America is different from Japan. In Japan, you generally have four singles, and then the album, in the US is the opposite.
So, if Kumi has a definite goal for where she wants to go with her music, she is perfectly able to release four singles and an album filled with songs that match the sound/style she presented in the singles, something that, in my view, she has been failing to do. Her discography is very diverse, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's harder to show evolution and maturity once your releases are like that, and that's something that made me lose much of the interest I had for her. But, anyway, I still hope one day she'll release a very well crafted album, with thought and a message, like "Lemonade", "A Seat at The Table", "Fantôme", "19 to 20" and others.
I think the closest she got to release a cohesive album was ETERNITY, but that's my opinion.
