What is the title of Beyoncé's 2016 visual studio album?

The story behind the answer

The title of Beyoncé’s 2016 visual studio album is Lemonade. It was released as her sixth studio album on April 23, 2016, through Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records.

Lemonade was presented as both an audio album and a companion film, making it a landmark example of the modern visual album. The film premiered on HBO the same day as the album’s release, and its songs move through themes commonly associated with grief, anger, reconciliation, and healing. The project blends R&B with rock, country, soul, blues, hip-hop, gospel, reggae, and pop.

The album includes guest appearances from artists including Kendrick Lamar, Jack White, James Blake, and The Weeknd. Its title draws on the idea of turning hardship into something sustaining: the film incorporates Hattie White, Beyoncé’s mother-in-law, speaking about being given lemons and making lemonade. A frequent mix-up is choosing Beyoncé’s earlier albums Dangerously in Love, B’Day, or 4.
