    This album is a gut wrenching materpiece. Some songs made me sad, some songs made me happy. Some gave me chills.
    I have to admit, I miss the hits-radio friendly-dancy Beyonce, but I do appriciate her jurney as an artist, and I do think she's at her peak right now.

    Standout tracks: Don't Hurt Yourself, 6 Inch, Daddy Lessons, Sandcastles, Freedom and All Night.

    Her most sonically varied, and distinctive, work to date. It explores electric blue, country, futuristic R&B, rock and gospel. It's also her most personal and yet political, an exploration of the pain of women past, future and present through her own arc of betrayal. Stunning.

    This is the best album I have ever heard. We all know that Beyoncé is the best vocalist of this generation and she proves it again with this new masterpiece. If you give this album a "0" then there's clearly something wrong with you. You are probably deaf and ugly anyway. Talent wins again.

    Me da un gusto enorme comenzar a reseñar disco empezando con uno de los trabajos más esperados en el año titulado LEMONADE.
    El sexto trabajo de estudio de Beyoncé nos trae una propuesto que si bien en su obra anterior "Beyoncé" ya se había experimentado. Ahora nos acontece algo totalmente innovador.
    Con un mensaje fuerte, violento, irónico e incluso crudo. Se homenajea no sólo a la mujer negra. Si no a todo lo que representa la historia negra en U.S.A.
    Aparentemente el rumbo que ha tomado la música pop desde el año pasado con influencias en el R&B, en el rock y pasando a una instrumentalización más orgánica con toques de pop, ha impactado demasiado en la manera de hacer música actualmente.
    Discos tales como ANTi, Mind Of Mine, Beauty Behind The Madness y los Buzz Singles de Drake... Etc han acarreado a los productores a llevar a este ritmo cómo lo comercial. A pesar de esto LEMONADE se escucha y se siente veraz.
    Beyoncé demuestra una capacidad vocal como ningún otro cantante femenino. Experimenta, juega, desgarra la voz.
    Respecto a la producción músical se puede notar una percusión muy particular en el disco al igual que el uso de cuerdas y las influencias de orquesta que se notan en el uso de violines. Pero el disco va en incremento. Comienza con una producción músical ligera y termina con producciones grandes como FREEDOM y ALL NIGHT.
    Respecto a la pélicula...
    Se divide en capítulos que dan a entender que la película es eso... un trabajo fílmico. Que nos va contando una historia y para el Film las música que se extraen de LEMONADE forman parte de el como una banda sonora.
    Sin duda un trabajo que marcará tendencia en la música popular y que le dará el sello a la música comercial durante el periodo que dure el R&B y el Rap/Hip Hop en los charts de Billboard.

    Album Quick Review

    Album - Lemonade
    Artist - Beyoncé
    Featuring - The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Jack White and James Black

    Before I start, can I just say that the way Beyoncé drops her album, even a free fall seems planned. Well, after her self titled album that released back in 2014, people expected only brilliance from Beyoncé. So here she is with Lemonade. The LP according to TIDAL statement released with it is a ‘conceptual project based on every woman’s journey of self-knowledge and healing’. And boy do I agree. Each and every song is lyrically brilliant, adding to it some amazing music and the sexy, powerful vocals of Queen B.

    This is not an usual Beyoncé album; it is so much more than that. The album entirely consists of Piano Ballads that will give you goosebumps. This is no pop music, no 7/11. This is something far more personal and far more real. The album will take you through a journey, not in a specific order but an amazing one anyway. From infidelity to black lives to self importance, this album touches so many topics and does justice to them.

    I won't go into details about each song. That will make it a very boring and a very long review because I can go on and on and on about how brilliant each and every song is. However, I will give you my top picks. My top 6 out of the 12 songs are -

    Pray You Catch Me, 6 Inch, Daddy Lessons, Sandcastle, Freedom and Formation.

    The other six are amazing too. I won't rate this album because it's beyond that.
    Enjoy!!!

    It's perfect! Love how Queen Bey came back to show what we;ve missed for 3 years! From cheating, affairs, marriages, and 'Becky with the good hair'. To where she shows her proud black heritage and that #BlackLivesMatter, she shows what's been going through her life through a perfect visual album! This HAS TO BE HER BEST ALBUM YET! Buy it! You will NOT be disappointed!

    O álbum é ótimo, mas seria muito melhor se fosse apenas um extended play com as 5 melhores músicas (Daddy Lessons, Sorry, Don't Hurt Yourself, 6 Inch e Freedom). Beyoncé insistiu em baladas cansativas sobre levar chifre do Shrek-Z e não ajudou muito. Bom filme e boa música, só precisa ter caráter como artista e escrever as próprias músicas.

With this album she exposes herself to the limit and shows the world how both powerful and vulnerable she can be. Every song on this record is perfect. The film is flawless and beautiful.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Her most emotional, self-righteous & emancipating album to date, in a summary this album tells a tale of pure love, pain and and rage.

    To start on this album we'll speak solely on the music

    Pray You Catch Me is the moment Bey has waited so long for, the cry for help & it's sung and structured in a way that can feel that she can't find a way to say it so she hopes to be caught in the moment and start from there.

    Hold Up takes a note from the powerful woman Bey is, this is the 'Sasha Fierce' of the album a 'i'm the best you're ever going to get in such a jazz soul vibe, this is the narration of Bey's love for Jay, a testimony of 'you're doing me dirty and I won't let this s#*t run'.

    Don't Hurt Yourself is the vocally assisted Jack White song that shows the hard to forgive side of Bey, a Neo-Soul Rock Anthem, 'i am the fire breathing dragon' describes this song perfectly. This song is rage + revel! A moment where she let loose and said what she had to say, this is personally the greatest battle cry song she's ever done.

    Sorry is the ascending moment of this album, this song shows a moment in which she gives herself a break and realises this is best for her, not the other way around. This is a self loving, heartbroken anthem on doing what's best for you. This is where the concept of Single Ladies meets Angel.

    6 Inch is the Strippers Hymn, assisted by vocals by the alluring Weeknd. This is the anthem for the woman about her money, this is for the working woman + the woman about her coin & an owner of her sexuality! a smoker jam.

    Daddy Lessons is a more acoustic vibe for Bey, held together strongly by her flawless vocals she gives a sweet serenading moment that tells us a story of how she keeps her head high, due to what her father taught her This is a spiritual country song, a lesson she learnt from her father to be stronger than her counterpart.

    Love Drought is as Daddy Lessons shows a turn to healing. This is a transcending song that reminds you slyly of Mine due to the falling vibe. This is the kintsukuroi moment of the album, the healing! The warm embrace of dominant submission. To willingly forgive and love again.

    Sandcastles is an ode to her love for Jay and the foundation they've created This reminisces what is built and how it is easily destroyed, this is vocally shaking and so vulnerable.

    Forward is a interlude so haunting, it channels the anxiety of her heartbreak through James Blake truly powerful. Resonating a male voice of solace a true moment that resonates in the Visual Album. A beautiful cinematic moment.

    FREEDOM is the 'IM BLACK AND IM HERE - WE MAY NOT BE TRULY FREE BUT IM FREE. AND IM HERE.' Kendrick serves an open letter on his views on the pain his people endure.

    ALL NIGHT is the healing, this is the answer to questions asked in the opening of this album, this is the moment love came back + love will start again, it's a magical experience.

    Formation as you already know, is the cultured moment that stands out to the rest of her singles in previous albums.

    As a Visual Album, tied together with scenery that morphs into each other + sealed with beautiful spoken word that tells a tale as you watch one being created the monologues grasp you and teach you the mind of a woman, the mind bent with anger, envy and goes even thorough as she taps into moments that resonate black culture and the love for her race.

    Truly a captivating creation that was daring and experimental while smartly formed and highly recommend this as it is 1 of the greatest albums of this millennium.

    It is the moments of heartbreak and journey of womanhood + her journey as a black woman, her pain, her loss + her healing. EVERYTHING.

    Lemonade é um álbum completamente diferente de tudo que Beyoncé já fez. É pessoal, fala sobre uma possível traição, mostrando a sua fúria. Mas também é político, mostra a sua insatisfação contra a brutalidade e a violência sofrida por pessoas negras.

    When talking about Beyonce, Prince once said that she would meet full musical peak if she learned piano. She shows that talent off here with the emotional "Sandcastles".

In the wake of Prince's death, Beyonce's LEMONADE simply reminds the public that there is still art to be made, and that one day she will be another legend whose death will create a deep hole in the musical community.

    The visual components of LEMONADE should all be praised, as all could sweep the VMAs in essentially every category if the award show actually had significant merit.

    Beyond that, Beyonce's voice-overs provide an artistic and emotional depth that has yet to be matched by modern artists.

    In contrast to Self-Titled, which came off as Beyonce trying hard to pretend that she isn't a try-hard (see: Haunted's "probably won't make no money off this" knowing damn well she would make money), LEMONADE is Beyonce at her most honest, open, and emotional. She defies genre and defies expectation as she pushes a body of work that is worthy of all the acclaim she has received. Art takes effort, and Beyonce has produced a masterpiece here.

Anyone who is a human, even not knowing who Beyonce is, will certainly be emotionally affected by this masterpiece. Even if they can't describe it, the impact on everybody's inside world, emotional jungle hidden from daylight, must be quite an event to handle. In a pop-driven world, this work reminds you that you still have a soul, which is growing with or without your awareness.
    I hereby and finally declare myself that b**** in one of Beyonce's previous songs - I bow down.

    When a beautiful where one of the most famous & independent woman shows her strength. Communicating her pain through "Sandcastles", anger through "Hold Up", "Don't Hurt Yourself" and "Sorry".

Its hands down the best track on the record followed by Sandcastles. The collab with The Weeknd also is a must listen to track aswell. However the other collaborations were not that good. Was expecting a Nicki Minaj collaboration on this record aswell. Probably the only thing that was disappointing. But overall WELL DONE Beyoncè! Expand

Not only has she proven herself to be the best performer of our time, she has cemented herself as the best a artist and most iconic artist of our time.

    "Lemonade" is an album about an independent women who wants a commited husband. She is not ready to live with a husband who is late at night. "You can taste the dishonesty/ it's on your breath" she awares her husband on the 1st track "Pray You Catch Me"
    But, on the 7th track "Love Drought" she is broken. "What did I do?" she asks.
    Continuing the legacy her own Grammy winning LP "BEYONCÉ", she is here with a gem again, which is undoubtly her best effort till date and the best album of 2010s decade.
    Every song on this "visual album", especially "Sorry" and "All Night", is a masterpiece.
    The 1st 4 tracks are killing anyway.
    And therefore, with "Lemonade" Bey has outdone herself.
    "Good job Bey" I agree with her daughter, Blue Ivy.

Lemonade really is a masterpiece and her best body of work to date. In this album, Beyoncé speaks about several topics, such as black rights, relationships, and womanhood. The reason why I love this album so much is that she talks about topics that I can relate to. As a black male, I really appreciated how Beyoncé raised awareness about the oppression that black people faced for several years and are still facing today. It makes me really happy that someone as influential and powerful as Beyoncé is bringing awareness to an issue that affects not only me but several people around the world. Beyoncé's Lemonade contains lyrics that touch your soul and amazing production that will keep you mesmerized for days, and for that reason, this album deserves nothing less than a 10/10. In the words of Anderson Cooper, "It's Beyoncé's world and we're just living in it". One of the best albums of the music industry. Beyoncé slays again.

I don’t necessarily love every song, but I love many of them, some have grown on me as I’ve listened to them more than once, and I can’t think of any of them that I think less of now than after the first time I heard it. Though I always liked Beyoncé’s music, Lemonade is where she comes into a class that very few pop stars reach. It’s a terrific journey. The album stands a lot for black women in America today, but if you’re anyone else, (including a white guy as I am) you should certainly experience it too. Expand
