    O conceito e a produção desse álbum deve ser contemplada. Um de seus melhores (ou o melhor) álbum já lançado. A sonoridade e os ritmos trazidos nele são incríveis.

    Ela deveria ter vergonha na cara Lisa de lançar essa bosta e se dizer feminista fazendo esse lixo pro marido e dizer que é pra militar. Lixosa.

    Album perfeito. É uma obra de arte visual que valoriza a mulher negra, e sua cultura ao mesmo tempo que nos mostra os sentimentos de uma mulher traída até encontrar o caminho pra o perdão. Perfeito

    A palavra "obra de arte" nunca fez tanto sentido como agora. Um álbum maravilhoso e incrível em todos os aspectos. Beyoncé conseguiu superar seu álbum auto intitulado (BEYONCÉ) que também é incrível e conseguiu mostrar seu lado pessoal sem deixar de ser ativista e o mais surpreendente são os vários gêneros musicais no álbum, indo do R&B ao Country sem se perder.

LEMONADE earns it's status as a masterpiece far greater than any other album since the 2010's decade. Beyoncé has taught us never to underestimate her or think of her in a limited state of mind. Just when we thought Self Titled was her critical peak, she goes ahead and tops it! A feat no mere 'Pop Idol' can pull off. In a singles driven industry, Beyoncé continues to push the envelope with above the bar album releases. A living legend who has mastered her craft. A warrior of a singer with flawless vocal execution and superior technique, yet unafraid to showcase rawness and realness. LEMONADE is the best album of 2016! She no longer makes mere albums, she creates conversation and cultural events… Expand

    A surprisingly varied album, "Lemonade" offers a wide number of sounds and styles, that somehow manages to get along with each other. The album is powerful and has a controversial back story in it that Beyoncé herself took the time to tell and explore among the listeners. Standout tracks include "Pray You Catch Me", "Don’t Hurt Yourself", "6 Inch", "Daddy Lessons", "Freedom" and "All Night".

    Lemonade is an intense, powerful, honest and necessary shout for freedom.As Beyoncé builds this strong and notable posture of resistence and empowerment in face of personal and social strugles, a really eclectic, experimental, captivating and unique musical identity is developed to us as well. An album with personality and musical ambition that came to be a modern classic of pop music.

    I can't believe I never wrote a review for this. A masterpiece both in audio and visuals, showing Beyoncé at her most experimental, grand, political and most visibly human. If that sounds contradictory, it's a testament to how perfectly every element hangs in the balance. If Beyoncé was the curator of her image on her self-titled table-shaker of a record, here she plays auteur.

If that sounds contradictory, it's a testament to how perfectly every element hangs in the balance. If Beyoncé was the curator of her image on her self-titled table-shaker of a record, here she plays auteur.

    She paves a path of surface-level-enjoyable music of all influences, effortlessly lines it with weight of message and cultural depth, stands on it and is proud to say "This is me, these are my experiences and the experiences of many others, and this is how we can best inform and uplift others", never seeming conceited or overdone. The balancing act is perfect, everything is in its right place. As a package drenched in symbolism and cultural references, it's consumable and humble. She effortlessly toys with the personal and shines a light on the political, plays on scopes micro and macro and rounds it up so flawlessly that they become one unified body.

    As a film, Lemonade artfully, linearly documents one woman's healing process, and the healing process of all women, all a collective people. It deconstructs emotions that don't conform to linearity and plays with connection, always highlighting the past in reference to how it impacts the future. This is heard in songs also, such as in Daddy Lessons where Beyoncé connects her father's infidelity to her husband's by detailing how it impacted her and what she learned. By the end, there's a tangible sense of catharsis and understanding of Beyoncé as a human being, while also illuminating the struggles of black women in particular detail. It's flawless in it's cathartic conjuring of raw feeling without sacrificing nuance, never overstays it's welcome or oversteps. It truly is a perfect album.    … Expand

Notable tracks include "6 Inch", "Love Drought", "Formation", and the exceptionally fiery and far-reaching "Don't Hurt Yourself". The album is extremely concentrated in its concepts, and fully in charge in what it sets out to say.

We can hear Beyonce’s unique rap singing in the verse that has been featured in her last top-ten hit “Drunk in Love”, talking about how excellent and stylish she is and featuring several symbols of Black heritage such as afros and Jackson Five nostrils. After introducing those important self-defining features, she started toThe lyrics of “Formation” are obviously filled with black power. We can hear Beyonce’s unique rap singing in the verse that has been featured in her last top-ten hit “Drunk in Love”, talking about how excellent and stylish she is and featuring several symbols of Black heritage such as afros and Jackson Five nostrils. After introducing those important self-defining features, she started to announce her attitude in the chorus. The chorus, with the styles of Bounce and Hip Hop, starts to repeat certain inspirational statements like “I dream hard and work hard … cause I slay, I slay, I slay.” Moreover, we can even notice certain words like Albino Alligators, which are used to satirize the white supremacy in the society. The lyrics are orientated to encourage the cultural, political and commercial independence of the black power so it is unavoidable to hear various critical and even extreme comments on this song. However, Beyonce is supported by the majority of people and organizations in the society. For example, Saturday Night Live made an interesting parody video mocking the racist reactions of the conservative white community to “Formation”.

    The music video of “Formation” actually adds more controversial symbols of the African American culture and sensitive political implications to it. The video starts with a tragic scene in New Orleans after the hurricane Katrina in 2005, as an irony that the police rarely did anything to protect the safety of black communities there. Then we can see Beyonce plays several roles as a black woman — a mistress, a housewife, or a leader and she portrays every role as indomitable and self-conscious who will is not pitiful in both look and behaviors. It ends with Beyonce and the car on which she stands sinking into the flood, an irony that the police almost became the stand-by during the whole disaster, which is dramatic but politically inflammatory. Actually, we can detect more political implications such as the scene that a black child is dancing hip-hop in front of a crowd of white policemen with weapons and they surrendered to the kid in front of a wall with slogan “Stop Shooting Us!”, as a reference to the recent shooting accidents happened to some black teenagers by the police. All of those scenes imply that this video is definitely politically inspirational — The long-held discrimination toward African American communities is still ubiquitous in most aspects of the society including the government. Moreover, the video indirectly supports the Black Lives Matter Movement with the mothers of certain victims holding pictures of their sons.

    Its live performance then puts everything explicit or implicit in this song on the stage in front of the whole nation and directly asserts its central content — the black power. She took the stage of Super Bowl on February 7th, with her “Black Panther with Golden X” outfit as a tribute to Michael Jackson and the dancers’ X formation as a tribute to Malcom X. She then instantly joined the performance of Bruno Mars and they shared the stage just like two boxers on stage competing for the spotlight. Noticeably, Bruno Mars, who is partly Filipino, and she, who is from Houston, are both two black superstars in this century and they later performed with Coldplay from UK, strongly calling for marriage equality and race equality around the world as one. What a theme!

    Admittedly, it is impossible to avoid mentioning the other nine tracks from this album. The album begins with “Pray You Catch Me”, filled with elusive scent of doubts and mistrusts from a broken-heart. The anger accumulates with the Reggae style “Hold Up” and electro-R&B “Sorry” while she claims women’s independence again, implying that she can still be Queen Bee without Jay Z. Then there is the incredible duet “6 Inches” with The Weeknd, which emphasizes women’s economic independence — “She works for her money from the start to the finish, she worth every dollar and she worth every minute.” In the following songs “Love Drought” and “Sandcastles”, she expresses some forgiveness and her weakness but soon reconnects her personal hardship with the whole nation’s pain. After the interlude “Forward”, “Freedom” is another epic track with elements of rock and roll and Kendrick Lamar’s rap verse, calling for both racial and sexual equality. “All Night”, about rekindled unity and love after a long period of disbeliefs and separations, is a perfect ending for this story while symbolizing the unity of different races, genders and LGBT communities ( a clip from the music video features a scene of a black man and white man kissing).

    Her best album. Very nice constructed story telling of her thriving the affair of her husband, Jay Z. As expected from her, she really made a Lemonade out of the lemons given to her during these trying times. Moreover, the visuals she delivered just given more life to the tracks in this album. Utter perfection.

    Empowering, Bold, and a bit Political, but still fierce Bey like only she can. A living legend that has accomplished so much and has nothing to prove. The word "masterpiece" gets thrown a lot when reviewing albums, but it's so appropriate in this case. Lemonade really is a masterpiece and her best body of work to date.

A living legend that has accomplished so much and has nothing to prove. The word "masterpiece" gets thrown a lot when reviewing albums, but it's so appropriate in this case. 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. This album is her most mature one ever and we can feel her and her message. One more time Beyoncé destroys Rihanna's album, that it completely overrated and boring.… Expand

    HOLY **** I thought her last album was great! With a mix of a bunch of different genres, she manages to make every single track work somehow. And with her most soulful performance with her vocals and her most honest lyrics to date, this is my favorite R&B album of all time. Hot damn, nothing is wrong with the entire album.

Надеюсь бездарная блядина Блядонсе когда-нибудь получит своё настоящее признание - это ротация ее дерьма на свалочных помещениях и гниение в подвале у своего бесталанного алчного муженька Гея Зи.

    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". Beyoncé didn't let her fans down, she gave huge songs like "Freedom" and "Formation". The album also comes with a full movie that shows that she is a visionary artist.

    After releasing her sixth album unexpectedly, I wanted to wait a little so I could notice if the album would bore me. It's been almost two months and Lemonade has easily become the most listened album in my catalogue. The lyrics are crazy, very direct and, sometimes, even aggressive. The tunes are totally insane, the production is major point here. Beyoncé's voice cannot be forgottenAfter releasing her sixth album unexpectedly, I wanted to wait a little so I could notice if the album would bore me. It's been almost two months and Lemonade has easily become the most listened album in my catalogue. The lyrics are crazy, very direct and, sometimes, even aggressive. The tunes are totally insane, the production is major point here. Beyoncé's voice cannot be forgotten either, since we have never seen this vocal control from her (very emotional the last lines in "6 Inch", when she says "come back, come back").

    The theme of the album needs another important commentary. Relationships and social aspects are included in this album, while changing, without disrupting the harmony, the genres of music contained.

    In conclusion, this album is the best thing that could happen to pop music in a period of time in which sex and money are still very present and excessively exploited. This is a masterpiece, it is bold, it is empowering, and it is Beyoncé. This is a lemonade that tastes better with each try you give to it.    … Expand

    A year later and Lemonade still rings relevant. Queen B blends elements of r&b, soul, pop, rock, country and so much more so effortlessly that it feels like second nature. This album is very empowering, political, and just plain bold. This is a record that will be examined by many in the years to come.
