Beyoncé's 2016 visual album was titled Lemonade.
Lemonade was released on April 23, 2016, through Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. It combined a twelve-track album with a one-hour film broadcast on HBO, making the project both a musical release and a visual narrative.
The album draws on R&B, rock, soul, hip-hop, blues, and country influences. Its songs and film explore themes including betrayal, grief, anger, reconciliation, Black identity, and family history. The work also incorporates poetry by Warsan Shire.
Lemonade debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and received widespread critical acclaim. It was nominated for Album of the Year at the 59th Grammy Awards and won Best Urban Contemporary Album. Some listeners confuse the project with Renaissance, Beyoncé's 2022 studio album, but Lemonade is the earlier visual album.
