    Amazing album by one of the boldest female artists in the world, Beyoncé proves once again that perfection is what she's striving for, here she isn't afraid to experiment with visual and genres.

    Péssimo álbum, apenas se escorando no feminismo e na cor da raça, para vender cd, Não ha nada de novo que outros artistas que se importam realmente com a raça não tenha feito melhor.

    Pointless album with no continuity in her songs. She is rapping not singing, also none of the songs is a standout, they all are pointless and worthless with no meaning... Beyonce's not an artist. Its awful to think that the average amount of songwriters for a song in this album is 15, and there are no lyrics at all. This album is a waste of time and music.

    I really was expecting something BIG, but once i heard it i was very dissapointed. It has good song, but nothing special, nothing new. And the thematic... oh Lord, a whole album based on your husband cheating on you??? I think the thematic was intentional to create expectation and controversy, i don't really believe it. Anyways, as I said, it has some good songs.

    I wonder why she has to wear a bathing suite to get people to listen to her music. I like a lot of female artists but none of them have to dress like a hooker to get people to buy their music. Their music sells itself, then again what is Beyonce selling?

    One of her best albums. Beyoncé is not a singer who makes individual singles, she makes an entire album, and everybody know that. Just look at the position of her 6 albums ever released. The 6 stayed in #1 in so many charts. With Lemonade wouldn't be different.

    Lemonade is Beyoncé's best album yet. While Lemonade's vocals are not as demanding as 4, the lyrics are honest, brave, explicit, political and empowering.

Como era de se esperar, uma obra prima foi jogada na nossa cara toda de uma vez. Seguindo a linha do single “Formation”, Lemonade é repleto de mensagens políticas, empoderamento e homenagens às raizes da cantora. Isso já é o suficiente para todo o feedback positivo que o disco recebeu, mas estamos falando de Beyoncé e ela foi além, transformando o disco em um acontecimento e fazendo a gente agradecer (por ter a oportunidade de estar vivendo na mesma época que ela) e poder passar os dias seguintes desvendando alguns aspectos.

    Temos o já citado Jack White quebrando tudo na faixa “Don’t Hurt Yourself”, o The Weeknd na sensual faixa “6 Inch”, o produtor James Blake em “Forward” e outro artista que toca bastante nas feridas da desigualdade racial, Kendrick Lamar na incrível “Freedom” (que no seu acompanhamento visual tem a modelo Winnie Harlow).

    Temos referências, samples, composições e uso de letras de bandas como Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Led Zepellin, Animal Collective, Father John Misty e Ezra Koenig do Vampire Weekend. Além disso, no filme que completa o álbum, há aparições de artistas como Serena Williams, as duplas musicais Ibeyi e Chloe x Halle (que valem uma ouvida), e uma homenagem ao movimento Black Lives Matter com as mães de jovens negros assassinados por policiais.

    Alguém já imaginou uma Beyoncé raivosa gritando por cima de umas guitarras distorcidas tocadas pelo Jack White? Cantando um reggae suavão? Usando samples de Led Zepellin? Ou com uma violinha acústica? Tudo isso é encontrado aqui. Isso é um verdadeiro amadurecimento como artista. Um encontro do blues, do r&b, do trap, do rock, do gospel, etc. Sonoridades novas, diferentes e inesperadas que ainda assim tem a cara dela do início ao fim.

    Imagine na era das informações em alta velocidade esse disco estar sendo produzido, o filme sendo gravado, mais de 300 pessoas envolvidas e nenhum vazamento acontecer. Bey esteve envolvida em toda a produção do início ao fim. E esse trabalho todo é uma confissão, um grito de raiva, uma exposição de seu lado mais intimo, onde vemos que mesmo do alto do seu posto de uma quase deusa na música, ela ainda ama, sofre e sente. É nisso que devemos pensar antes de julgar apenas a quantidade de músicas boas pra pista.

    No último trabalho, nossa Queen B deu um reboot em sua carreira, digamos assim. Lançar um disco auto-intitulado como o quinto da sua carreira não foi a toa. Foi um recomeço onde ela alcançou um patamar acima dos artistas pop e ligou o foda-se para criar hits e alcançar topos dos charts, chegando nos topos dessas listas por outras razões que não o simples fato de uma música ter uma coreografia icônica ou um refrão chiclete.

    Aqui a gente não precisa de bateção de cabelo e danças bem marcadas, temos outros cinco discos pra isso.    … Expand

    Lemonade hits with visceral force, stemming from her celebrity status as an icon and the brutal truth that she is a pained human being. With that said, her latest effort is nearly perfect, blending atmospheric melodies with heartbreaking lyrics. This will surely go down in the history books.

    Beyoncé is without doubt one of the greatest entertainers alive. With this album she also proved her ability to create a masterpiece of art and not just danceable mainstream songs. Besides the political message, there are many references artwise and the album as well as the movie contain a huge varieties of styles. I love it!

    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.

Beyonce always has something to offer, whether it is a catchy beat or high notes. Sorry, Rihanna's fans but yes, Lemonade DOES deserve such critical acclaim, because it is something unique and great. And as you may have already noticed, Beyonce doesn't do interviews, she does art to express herself… Expand

    Beyoncé's Lemonade represents grief in the best way possible. It empowers, it inspires, and it also gives attention to social and political issues. As poppy as Beyoncé's music tends to be, you can see this albums risks in instrumentation. The second track, "Hold up" shows this type of risk.

    Lemonade just goes from strength to strength. The album offers different sounds, but it sounds like a cohesive body of work. Beyonce shows she can do everything from singing like an angel to rap. The album shows a range of emotion that most of us have felt. The album is a classic.

    By far this is her most personal album. And in such way when you compare Dangerlous in love, B'day, IASF, 4, Beyonce. They all dont sound the same. They all are different in many ways but the common thing is that sexy vocals. One of the overrated album yet it deserves to be overrated

The music explores a lot of issues women go through in relationships such as doubt, depression, denial, anger, resentment, and forgiveness.

O Lemonade é, além de um grito de guerra para o empoderamento negro, em que ela mostra várias e várias referências no material visual, um relato da suposta traição de Jay Z, em que ela conta cada passo da descoberta, raiva, questionamento e perdão. Dá pra sentir isso ao ler as letras de todas as músicas, que estão estruturadas de forma lógica. Enfim, o Lemonade será marcada na história da indústria, tanto pela sua qualidade, tanto pela causa social que Beyoncé aderiu, tanto pela história. É assim mesmo. Deram limões a Beyoncé?

    No seu 6º álbum de estúdio, ''Lemonade'', a cantora, aqui ativista, repete a fórmula de álbum visual do seu bem sucedido disco de 2013, o autointitulado ''Beyoncé''.
    Sem deixar o seu nada modesto time de compositores e produtores, Beyoncé que vem mostrando mais pretensão e liberdade artística desde o seu ''4'' de 2011, não nos decepciona e consegue mostrar que é capaz de evoluir e superar    No seu 6º álbum de estúdio, ''Lemonade'', a cantora, aqui ativista, repete a fórmula de álbum visual do seu bem sucedido disco de 2013, o autointitulado ''Beyoncé''.
    Sem deixar o seu nada modesto time de compositores e produtores, Beyoncé que vem mostrando mais pretensão e liberdade artística desde o seu ''4'' de 2011, não nos decepciona e consegue mostrar que é capaz de evoluir e superar o sucesso de crítica, marketing e vendas que foi seu último disco.
    O diferencial em relação ao seu último álbum visual - que tinha vários curtas para cada música, é que esse foi apresentado na HBO em forma de um filme único de pouco mais de 1 hora, que pega carona no movimento #blacklivesmatter e faz críticas a violência policial contra negros e ao racismo, tema recorrente no repertório de artistas mais recentemente aclamados como Kendrick Lamar - que aqui aparece na ótima ''Freedom''.
    No seus últimos trabalhos, Beyoncé vinha com abordagem no empoderamento feminino, como nas faixas ''Run the World (Girls)'' de 2011 e na ''Flawless'' de 2013 - onde ela repete o discurso feminista da escritora nigeriana Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Em ''Lemonade'', que tem o título justificado pela cantora do fato histórico de que os negros acreditavam que beber limonada, clarearia a sua pele, Beyoncé defende-se de críticas de que ela estaria se afastando da cultura negra, ''embranquecendo'' e de episódios de racismo, como uma petição online onde assinaturas pediam para que a cantora penteasse o cabelo de sua filha, Blue Ivy - (I like my baby heir with baby hair) de ''Formation'''.
    Mesmo que se trate de mais um álbum visual, nesses nós acabamos por ter muito mais que ouvir do que ver, como em vários momentos do disco, a cantora nos deixa escapar uma suposta traição do seu marido, o rapper Jay-Z, com quem ela sempre ostentou toda a felicidade e sucesso do seu casamento - “He only want me when I'm not there / He better call Becky with the good hair.” (''Sorry'').
    Se nós formos fazer mais comparações com o último trabalho de Beyoncé, fica mais evidente ainda o quanto ''Lemonade'' é um disco versátil e passeia por vários gêneros, como por exemplo o rock na faixa ''Don't Hurt Yourself'' que conta com a participação de Jack White, ''Daddy Lessions'' que faz nos lembrar a origem texana da Beyoncé em uma junção de country e soul, ou na trap music presente em ''Sorry'', além ainda de gêneros como hip-hop, blues, funk e gospel que complementam o restante do álbum.
    Por trás de tanto marketing, em turnês milionárias, apresentações no 'Super Bowl' e álbuns visuais lançados de ''surpresa'', fica a lição de que tem como sim fazer um trabalho pop de qualidade e consistência e ainda ter voz pra tratar de temas importantes e sérios, Beyoncé que conversa com a gente no presente, transforma limões em uma limonada.

Although the album took 72 writers/producers and Beyonce acted more along the lines of a Musical Director - it still produced some of the most interesting music of the year. The production is top notch crisp and to the point.

    Lemonade hits hard. Beyonce has chosen to portray herself like this, and those choices are bold, powerful and at times, properly shocking. [#361, p.110]

    Never short on vocal confidence, here, she trades divadom for arresting, unconventional shapes. [Jul 2016, p.69]

    By effortlessly topping her own best work. Lemonade now sets a new standard for cross-genre collaboration.
