Which Beyoncé album was presented as a film on HBO in 2016?

Lemonade was the Beyoncé album presented as a film on HBO in 2016.

Beyoncé released Lemonade on April 23, 2016, after the accompanying hour-long film premiered on HBO. The project combines songs, poetry, spoken narration, and visual chapters into a story about grief, betrayal, identity, healing, and family.

The album draws on multiple musical styles, including rhythm and blues, rock, country, reggae, and soul. Its guests include James Blake, Jack White, Kendrick Lamar, and The Weeknd. “Formation” became one of its most recognizable songs.

Lemonade received widespread critical acclaim and earned the Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album. It is distinct from the 2013 self-titled visual album because its film follows a more continuous thematic arc.
