Earlier this month, the
talented singer Beyonce teased with something called Lemonade on Instagram. She
stoked the fire with a short trailer on HBO for the visual filled with agitated
bursts of noise, flickering lights, and vague voiceover pronouncements:
"The past and the present merge to meet us here."
No one knew what
the "World Premiere Event" would include, but everyone knew it was
coming.
When Lemonade arrived on
Saturday night on HBO, it turned out to be another visual album. The music is
now available on Tidal; here's a breakdown of the hour-long special.
Lemonade is a visual album
– a number of music videos offset by chapter titles like "Intuition,"
"Denial," "Apathy," "Emptiness" and, eventually,
"Resurrection" – connected by a voiceover from BeyoncĂ© reading poetry
by Warsan Shire.


Sounds good
