Reports have surfaced that Beyonce's 2016 ‘Lemonade’ album has been championed by Rolling Stone as the Greatest Female Album of the 21st Century, & rightfully so.
Delivered with close to no propel guidance, Lemonade is said to have "disrupted" the "album cycle", yet Beyoncé first did this in 2013 when she put out 14 melodies, each with its own video, with not even a "save the date". It's more exact to state that there is no collection cycle.
In any case, when Beyoncé is strolling down a road wrecking left vehicles with a play club, you're not going to discuss that at the bar.
As you'll have likely heard, Lemonade is about disloyalty. In Don't Hurt Yourself, she tosses her wedding band at the camera while growling a "final warning": “If you try that shit again, you’re going to lose your wife.”
Or maybe more powerfully, it's about the experience of people of color, “the most disrespected person in America”, to cite Beyoncé citing Malcolm X in the element film. The title is drawn from Jay Z's grandma, who is appeared in the film at her 90th birthday celebration party: "I was given lemons and I made lemonade."
Since we wind up at the crossing point of the sensationalist newspapers worried about whether Jay Z cheated and, assuming this is the case, with whom, and the "writerly" press close-perusing the verses, you can quit perusing and still appear to be educated regarding the matter if – when – it manifests at the end of the week.
