Beyoncé’s 2016 visual album about personal and cultural identity was titled Lemonade.
Lemonade was released on April 23, 2016, initially as a project connected to the streaming service Tidal. It combines a traditional album with an hour-long film that uses poetry, imagery, and music to explore betrayal, healing, family, race, and Black womanhood.
The project includes songs such as “Formation,” “Sorry,” “Hold Up,” and “Daddy Lessons.” Its visual presentation helped make the album a major example of the modern visual-album format, in which music and film are designed as one connected work.
Lemonade is not the same project as Black Is King, Beyoncé’s 2020 film connected to The Lion King: The Gift. Homecoming, meanwhile, documents her 2018 Coachella performance.
