Which Beyoncé visual album was released on April 23, 2016?

Beyoncé’s visual album Lemonade was released on April 23, 2016.

The project premiered as a one-hour film on HBO and was released digitally the same day. Its songs and visuals explore themes including betrayal, grief, reconciliation, Black identity, family, and resilience. The album draws on multiple musical styles, including R&B, rock, country, blues, and hip-hop.

Lemonade became Beyoncé’s sixth consecutive number-one album on the Billboard 200 and received widespread critical acclaim. It won the Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album. The album is sometimes described simply as a film, but that leaves out its central musical identity: it is both a studio album and an accompanying visual work. Its final song, “Formation,” had already become a major cultural reference before the album’s release.
