The visual album was a series of deep cuts that not only dominated the conversation on timelines but also offered an inside look into the mind – and heart – of the mysterious Mrs. Carter. The recipe for all that is a whole lot more ambitious.

Much like with her self-titled 2014 album, Beyonce dropped Lemonade without previously officially announcing the project.
The HBO event will take place four days before her tour kicks off on April 27, with 22 concerts in North America and 15 in Europe. My friends and I knew this wasn’t the story she was getting at though, being that we are ultimate fans (shoutout to you Brielle, a bigger mega fan than me).
On Saturday, April 23, Beyoncé premiered Lemonade, her second visual album (following 2013’s Beyoncé), on HBO.
The first track on Beyonce’s “Lemonade” is entitled “Pray You Catch Me” and is one of the songs that quite clearly touches on some kind of personal relationship to Beyonce. She kept repeating, “They don’t love you like I love you”. Guest appearances on the album include Kendrick Lamar, the Weeknd and James Blake.

Ever since, fans have speculated about “Project Lemonade”.
The burning question was, Bey, girl, did Jay-Z cheat?
Beyonce wrote two songs on “Lemonade” with Diplo, the Los Angeles electronic producer who has crafted Justin Bieber’s new sound, and even fuses in touches of country, as well as New Orleans jazz, on “Daddy Lessons”.

Where? HBO, which will be free for all cable subscribers this weekend. It’s also now streaming in full on TIDAL, the same service that hosted Kanye West’s “The Life Of Pablo” earlier this year. In one sequence, Beyonce was seen walking down a NY street swinging a baseball bat at cars and fire hydrants. HBO will re-air Lemonade at 8 p.m. Sunday.
