Which Beyoncé album was accompanied by the 2016 film Lemonade?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s 2016 film and album project was titled Lemonade.

Lemonade was released on April 23, 2016, after its accompanying film premiered on HBO. The project combined music, poetry, spoken passages, and striking imagery. Its songs address betrayal, grief, anger, ancestry, reconciliation, and Black womanhood, giving the album a connected narrative rather than a collection of unrelated singles.

The album features songs such as “Formation,” “Sorry,” “Hold Up,” and “Daddy Lessons.” It received extensive critical acclaim and was nominated for Album of the Year at the 59th Grammy Awards. “Formation” also became one of Beyoncé’s most prominent songs about Black identity, Southern culture, and social politics.

Lemonade is sometimes confused with Beyoncé’s 2013 self-titled visual album because both combine music with film. The distinction is simple: Lemonade is the 2016 project whose title applies to both the album and its central film presentation.
