Beyonce Visual Album "LEMONADE"




Beyonce does it again, she has given us another visual album and I live. She premiered it on 23 April via HBO. After the premiere she released the album via Tidal. That move was predictable and I respect and understand why she released it via Tidal. Beyonce is passed the phase where she's selling albums she's focused on making great music that transcends multiple generations.





 The album is entitled Lemonade and it's simply about when life gives you Lemons make some mother freaking #LEMONADE and persevere through your problems
The album features 12 songs



The visual album focused on 10 different areas 

Intuition

Denial

Anger

Apathy

Emptiness

Accountability

Forgiveness

Reconciliation

Hope

Redemption.

They are all emotions and acts that the average person has endured.

There are times when a woman's INTUITION lets her know that something isn't right. She then doesn't know if she should believe there intuition and then turns to DENIAL. Once the truth is revealed she goes through ANGER and that anger leaves her to EMPTINESS. She then informs him that he needs to take ACCOUNTABILITY of his actions in order for her to be able to bring about FORGIVENESS of his actions. The woman and man then move on to RECONCILIATION and finally REDEPTION

The visuals have so much emotion involved that it moves the viewer in a magical way. I have 5 words

WHEN WILL YOUR FAVORITE EVER?

This is why I STAN for Beyonce, she's always giving us something that is unpredictable. She has grown and continues to grow so much as an artist that it literally blows my mind how amazing this woman is.








In the music video Beyonce features the mothers of unarmed Black men who were killed at the hand of police officers ( and wanna be cops) Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown. Seeing these mother's holding portraits of their slain sons literally brought me to tears simply because the Black Lives Matter moment is something that I stand firmly behind.








If you don't have TIDAL you better get it now and make sure you purchase the hard copy version of LEMONADE as well.



Remember To Always Be 
Fierce and Fabulous
