Which Beyoncé album was accompanied by a 2016 HBO film?

The story behind the answer

Lemonade was the Beyoncé album accompanied by a 2016 HBO film.

The album was released on April 23, 2016, after the premiere of an hour-long film of the same name on HBO. Its music and imagery form a connected sequence organized into chapters, including “Intuition,” “Denial,” “Anger,” “Apathy,” “Emptiness,” “Accountability,” “Reformation,” “Hope,” and “Redemption.”

Lemonade draws on rhythm and blues, rock, soul, hip-hop, country, and other styles. Its themes include identity, Black womanhood, family, betrayal, healing, and cultural history. The project also incorporates poetry by the British-Somali writer Warsan Shire.

The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and received the Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. Its central visual presentation is why it is often described as a “visual album,” although Beyoncé’s 2013 self-titled record used that format even more extensively.
