“The queen, in middle-fingers-up mode, makes her most powerful, ambitious statement yet”
“Raw yet polished, beautiful yet ugly, all Bey”
“Beyoncé is on a roll. Her latest, another "visual album" with corresponding videos in the mold of her 2013 self-titled set, renders infidelity and reconciliation with a cinematic vividness.”
“Lemonade is a one-of-a-kind look into Beyoncé's personal life that sacrifices none of her regality”
“Beyoncé drops her most conceptual and mature album yet--as well as what's likely to be the best pop record of the year.”
““Who the fuck do you think I am?” Beyoncé demands three tracks into her unforeseeably bold sixth album, ‘Lemonade’, her voice dripping with distortion. “You ain’t married to no average bitch, boy”. If these lyrics aren’t fiction, the man she’s castigating for adultery in the most public forum possible is her multimillionaire husband, Jay Z: “If you try this sh*t again,” she snarls, “you gon’ lose ”
“**💭 Thoughts:** Beyoncé’s 2016 LP *Lemonade* is arguably one of the most important albums of the 2010s, mainly due to its genre-blending sound and interesting themes. Many of the songs are both powerful and catchy, and I think Beyoncé shines most on the high-energy anthems like “Freedom” and the more laid-back, intimate tracks like “Love Drought” or “Sorry (Original Demo)”. Overall, it’s a great album packed with many memorable songs. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Pray You Catch Me 🟢 2.) Hold Up 🟡 3.) Don’t Hurt Yourself 🟢 4.) Sorry 🔵 5.) 6 Inch 🔵 6.) Daddy Lessons 🟢 7.)
