Care for some Lemonade?

Beyoncé surprised the world by dropping her visual album Lemonade, which was available for limited viewing on HBO. The album of the same name was then streaming on Tidal, and now the album and video are available for purchase via the usual channels, and soon available at AADL. Lemonade is once again a carefully orchestrated release by Beyoncé, as she continues to control every detail of all things Bey.

Since Lemonade hit the ice cold glass the world has been buzzing, and not just those in the BeyHive. The visual album is rich with imagery and words of infidelity, betrayal, sorrow, self-empowerment, revenge, and feminism, which has caused critics and fans to ponder the validity of her words and how they pertain to her life and family.

The release includes the 12-song album and the hour-long film. The album does not disappoint, and I recommend watching the film first to get the full effect, so that when you then listen to the album you have striking visuals dancing during subsequent listens.

Now underway, The Formation World Tour was announced after Queen Bey's performance at the Super Bowl halftime show. She heads to Ford Field in Detroit on June 14.
