Unexpected is the fifth studio album by American singer Angie Stone. It was released by Stax Records on November 23, 2009 in the United States. Conceived following the death of her father, Stone's spiritual anchor and creative mentor,[1] the album marked a breakaway from the neo soul elements on Stone's first four studio efforts, taking her work further into the dance pop, funk, and contemporary R&B genres. As a result, Unexpected incorporates more upbeat material, produced by Jazze Pha, among others.

The album received generally positive reviews, with critics perceiving its sound as more stylistically diverse than on previous discs. Commercially, Unexpected became Stone's lowest-charting entry yet. It peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums but failed to reach the upper half of the Billboard 200. Lead single "I Ain't Hearin' U," released in October 2009, reached the top 20 of the Adult R&B Songs chart. The album would mark Stone's final released with Stax Records.
