When Life Gives You Lemons

On Saturday, April 23, 2016, Beyonce dropped her new visual album #LEMONADE on HBO. This was literally the talk around the world as many people were anxious to see it. Anxious may not even be the correct term! Those who lived outside of the U.S depended on periscope and live streams in order to watch her new masterpiece. Lemonade became available exclusively on Tidal before the end of the screening and fans were able to watch it for free on HBO, for 24 hours on Sunday, April 24, 2016. Queen Bey can never stop amazing her fans with her releases and the message in her music. Lemonade clearly reflected a process of self healing as a result of infidelity. Many people wondered who she was referring to in her music as it was no secret that her father exemplified infidelity in his marriage with her mother. People wondered if these were Beyonce's uncut thoughts and reflections on their circumstance. However, if you listen closely you can tell she is actually referring to Jay-Z, her husband. As the intro in "Pray You Catch Me" stated, "You remind me of my father, a magician. Able to exist in two places at once." Beyonce creatively stated that Jay-Z is like her father with his cheating. In this same song she also sung about catching him and confronting him about it. Each song was just pure art and you can feel her pain through the duration of the album and the visuals only got better! Let's not forget about the 'hot sauce' (bat) in her bag.... That was a complete game changer that no one was ready for! People used to think that hot sauce, as referred to in her formation album, was really hot sauce. Even more, everyone knows that social media is the place to go to look for all comments regarding #LEMONADE. Many tweeters said that if Beyoncé, is getting cheated on, there's no hope for them because she is the baddest woman on Earth. She's Queen Bey. But I want to know what you all think. Do you think that just because she got cheated on there is no hope for you or your future relationships? Do you believe that infidelity can be fixed? Last but not least, tell me what you think about Beyonce's new album and her visuals and sound. Remember that celebrity couples will always be in the limelight and because of their higher ranking, it is easier for them to have anyone they want because women, and men, flock to celebrities! Beyonce has not filed for an actual divorce with Jay-Z because if she did, that would be NO secret to the world. When life gives you lemons, make #lemonade.
