Which Beyoncé album, released in 2016, is named after a liquid?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s 2016 album named after a liquid is Lemonade.

Released on April 23, 2016, Lemonade is Beyoncé’s sixth studio album. It was accompanied by a one-hour film of the same name that premiered on HBO. The album combines R&B, pop, rock, hip-hop, blues, country, and electronic influences, making it one of her most stylistically varied releases.

Lemonade is structured around themes of betrayal, grief, anger, reconciliation, and strength. Its songs include “Formation,” “Sorry,” “Hold Up,” “Freedom,” and “All Night.” The visual presentation uses imagery connected to Black history, family, Southern culture, and New Orleans.

The title also echoes the saying associated with writer and activist Elbert Hubbard: “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Lemonade received widespread critical acclaim and became Beyoncé’s sixth consecutive album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200. It won the Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album in 2017.
