Triumphant Beyonce’s Visual Album #LEMONADE

 

 

#Lemonade ........ Beyonce premiered a 1 long project on HBO last night and released her visual album.

First the “Formation” tour, then she teased us with the HBO special…and now, the ALBUM!
Bey just dropped her sixth album LEMONADE, following her powerful HBO video album premiere.
Bey gives raw emotion on “Sorry,” goes straight Texas country on “Daddy Lessons” and hits rockstar status on “Don’t Hurt Yourself.”

Lemonade features a few collabos including Kendrick on “Freedom,” The Weeknd on the sexy “6 Inch,” Jack White on “Don’t Hurt Yourself,” and James Blake on “Forward.”

 

Describing #Lemonade, RollingStone says

“Lemonade traces a story of infidelity and reconciliation. It starts with Beyoncé questioning her relationship. “Are you cheating on me?” she asks the viewer. When the evidence of unfaithfulness becomes conclusive, her first move is protest – “They don’t love you like I love you,” she intones – followed by anger: “I’m gonna fuck me up a bitch,” she says gleefully in one song, baseball bat in hand. (Later she adds, “You ain’t married to an average bitch, boy!”) But after she appears to cut loose from an untrustworthy partner – “Me and my baby gonna be alright, we gonna live a good life” – the tale shifts towards cease-fire and reunion. The hour ends with shots of happy couples and an assertion that our heroine will move forward. “My torturer became my remedy,” Beyoncé explains. “So we’re gonna heal. We’re gonna start again.” On her way through the relationship plot, she also tells a story about the experience of black womanhood. A snippet pulled from a speech by Malcom X declares, “The most disrespected person in America is the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman.” Men are almost entirely absent from the film, physically and emotionally; in their place, large groups of women appear again and again, presenting a united front of solidarity and sisterhood.”
