On what date did Beyoncé's visual album Lemonade first appear?

Beyoncé's visual album Lemonade first appeared on April 23, 2016.

The project premiered as a one-hour film on HBO, accompanied by the release of the album through streaming services and digital music retailers. Its visual structure combines songs, poetry, imagery, and themes of family, identity, betrayal, healing, and Black womanhood.

Lemonade was Beyoncé's sixth studio album and followed her 2013 self-titled visual album. It includes songs such as “Formation,” “Sorry,” “Hold Up,” and “All Night.” The album drew on multiple genres, including R&B, rock, country, blues, and hip hop.

The date is sometimes mixed up with the release of the album Beyoncé, which arrived without advance announcement in December 2013. Lemonade was also a surprise release, but its HBO premiere made April 23, 2016, a particularly important date.
