The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s 2016 visual album was titled Lemonade.

Lemonade was released on April 23, 2016, through Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. It was accompanied by a one-hour film that premiered on HBO, combining music videos, poetry, spoken passages, and striking visual imagery. The project was structured around themes including grief, anger, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

The album spans multiple genres, including R&B, rock, country, blues, and hip-hop. Its collaborators included Jack White, Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, James Blake, and Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z. Songs such as “Formation,” “Sorry,” and “Hold Up” became especially prominent.

Lemonade debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and received widespread critical acclaim. It earned nine Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year. Black Is King was a 2020 visual album and film, while Renaissance was Beyoncé’s 2022 studio album, so neither is the answer here.
