Beyoncé’s 2016 album named after a citrus fruit is Lemonade.
Lemonade was released on April 23, 2016, through Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. It was initially accompanied by a film of the same name, broadcast on HBO. The album blends R&B, rock, soul, hip-hop, country, and blues, making it one of Beyoncé’s most stylistically varied projects.
Its songs address betrayal, identity, family, Black womanhood, and resilience. The album includes “Formation,” “Sorry,” “Hold Up,” and “Daddy Lessons.” Some listeners use “Lemonade” to refer only to the visual film, but the name properly identifies both the studio album and its accompanying visual work. Lemonade won the Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album and received a nomination for Album of the Year.
