Which label, alongside Columbia, released Beyoncé's Lemonade?

The story behind the answer

Parkwood Entertainment, alongside Columbia Records, released Beyoncé’s Lemonade.

The album arrived as a surprise release on April 23, 2016. It was not just an audio project: Lemonade was presented as a visual album with a film of the same name, which premiered on HBO on the release date. Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé’s management, production, and record-label company, handled the project with Columbia.

A common mix-up is confusing Parkwood with Beyoncé’s earlier label arrangements or with collaborators such as Roc Nation. Parkwood was founded by Beyoncé in 2008 and became central to her later album releases, films, tours, and visual projects. Columbia, meanwhile, is the major-label partner listed with Parkwood on the album’s credits.

Lemonade was Beyoncé’s sixth studio album and combined R&B with rock, country, blues, hip-hop, gospel, and other styles. Its accompanying film helped make the release a landmark example of the modern visual-album format.
