Apr 25, 2016Lemonade is by far Beyoncé’s strongest album.
-
Apr 27, 2016Her boldest, most ambitious, best album to date.

Apr 25, 2016["Sorry,"] is a combative, unglossy track on an album full of them. ... As she did with her 2013 album, “Beyoncé,” she has also paired the music with full-length video that expands and deepens its impact.
