Which Beyoncé album is built around a film shown on HBO?

Lemonade is the Beyoncé album built around a film shown on HBO.

Released on April 23, 2016, Lemonade was accompanied by a one-hour film that premiered on HBO the same day. The album combines R&B, pop, soul, hip-hop, blues, rock, country, and electronic influences. Its visual and musical chapters explore themes including betrayal, grief, anger, reconciliation, Black identity, and family.

The project’s songs include “Formation,” “Sorry,” “Hold Up,” “Freedom,” and “All Night.” Beyoncé drew on poetry by Warsan Shire for the film’s narration and imagery, giving the work a distinct literary structure. The album also features contributions from artists including Jack White, Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, and James Blake.

Lemonade debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and received widespread critical acclaim. It earned the Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album. Although the album is often discussed in relation to Beyoncé’s marriage, its themes extend beyond private biography into broader cultural and historical ideas.
