Beyoncé’s visual album built around the songs of Lemonade is also titled Lemonade.
Lemonade was released on April 23, 2016, after an HBO premiere of its accompanying film. The project combines music with a visually structured film featuring poetry, imagery, and performances. Its songs address themes including identity, betrayal, grief, anger, reconciliation, Black womanhood, and family.
The album includes tracks such as “Formation,” “Sorry,” “Hold Up,” “Freedom,” and “All Night.” It drew on R&B, rock, country, blues, reggae, and hip-hop, making its sound broader than a single genre label suggests. Critics widely praised its ambition and cultural impact.
Lemonade was Beyoncé’s sixth solo studio album and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. It received multiple Grammy nominations and won Best Urban Contemporary Album. The title can refer to the audio album, the accompanying film, or the combined visual project, so the phrase “visual album” is especially useful for distinguishing its format.
