Lemonade is the Beyoncé album built around a six-act visual narrative about Black womanhood and ancestry.
Released on April 23, 2016, Lemonade was accompanied by a film of the same name that premiered on HBO. Its music and imagery draw on themes including infidelity, anger, reconciliation, family history, spirituality, and cultural identity.
The album incorporates R&B, rock, country, blues, pop, reggae, and hip-hop. It features guest appearances by artists including Jack White, Kendrick Lamar, James Blake, and The Weeknd.
Lemonade received widespread critical acclaim and was nominated for Album of the Year at the 59th Grammy Awards. Beyoncé lost that category to Adele, but Lemonade won Best Urban Contemporary Album and its song “Formation” won Best Music Video.
