Beyonce - Lemonade (Full Album) (Itunes Rip) (2016)

Lemonade is the sixth studio album by American singer Beyoncé, released on April 23, 2016, by Parkwood Entertainment and distributed through Columbia Records. The record is Beyoncé's second "visual album", following her eponymous 2013 record. Unlike its predecessor, which featured individual music videos for each track, a one-hour film was aired on HBO to coincide with the release of Lemonade. The album encompasses genres including R&B, pop, hip hop, blues, rock, soul, funk, country, gospel, and trap. Streaming service TIDAL described the Lemonade concept as "every woman's journey of self-knowledge and healing."[7] It features guest vocals from James Blake, Kendrick Lamar, the Weeknd and Jack White.

The album was accompanied by the release of a 60-minute film of the same name, which premiered on HBO on April 23, 2016.[9] The film uses poetry and prose written by expatriate Somali poet Warsan Shire; her poems which she adapted were "The Unbearable Weight of Staying", "Dear Moon", "How to Wear Your Mother's Lipstick", "Nail Technician as Palm Reader", and "For Women Who Are Difficult to Love".[10][11] It also features Ibeyi, Laolu Senbanjo, Amandla Stenberg, Quvenzhané Wallis, Chloe x Halle, Zendaya, and Serena Williams.[12] HBO plans to submit the film for an Emmy in the Variety Special category.[13]

The album addresses the Black Lives Matter movement. The mothers of Trayvon Martin (Sybrina Fulton), Michael Brown (Lesley McFadden), Eric Garner (Gwen Carr) are featured holding pictures of their deceased sons
