Lemonade is the Beyoncé album released in 2016 as a visual album.
The project was accompanied by a 65-minute film broadcast on HBO. Its songs and imagery explore themes including betrayal, grief, anger, reconciliation, Black identity, family, and cultural memory.
Lemonade draws from multiple musical traditions, including R&B, rock, country, blues, pop, and hip-hop. Its collaborators included Jack White, Kendrick Lamar, James Blake, and The Weeknd.
The album was widely praised for its ambitious structure and social themes. It received nine Grammy nominations and won two awards. A frequent distinction is that the album’s visual film is also called Lemonade, while the music itself is the studio album.
