Beyonce LEMONADE album the new rave

                                    
Beyonce released her much anticipated album, Lemonade, and it has been causing a frenzy both on social media and tabloids not just because of the music and controversial lyrics but also the high fashion that accompanies the visual album. 
The fashion is one to enumerate and shed more light on as the music icon taps into a fleet of costumes befitting of a queen, from haute couture to body suits, workout wear and a list of options that makes lemonade more than just an album.
Here are things you did not know about Lemonade

                                   

After the politically charged single "Formation" and her Super Bowl performance, it seemed that Beyoncé was embarking upon a new stage of her career, one that would be filled with more images of black women and the violence—from heartbreak to the loss of our sons—that we face. But no one could have expected that Lemonade would not only fulfill these expectations but also round out to be an exhortation, a luxurious one-hour-long story that focused solely on black women and their relationship to the earth and to each other. It showed black women being not only strong, but strength personified. Yet the "strong black woman" trope was not the message here. On the contrary, this was the story of the resilient black woman, one who is never rigid but explores her emotions.

Beyoncé has declared herself a feminist, despite much criticism. And Lemonade's feminism focuses on black women's stories and the world around them. In the visual album, black women's emotions, especially those that stem from mistreatment by men, are expressed among and through the healing atmosphere of the natural environment. Take how water, a symbol of wisdom, transition, and metamorphosis repairs hurt: Beyoncé dives into deep water as she realizes how much she has sacrificed for her man. Then she treads through water with several black women, asking why that man would deny himself of all that she can give.

But Beyoncé does not tread through her emotions by herself. She has a whole brigade of black women to assist her in sorting through all of her feelings. As they move through the water and link hands with one another, they uplift her not through words but rather through proximity and touch. These women help Beyoncé usher through these realizations about self-love and acceptance. They hold hands while standing in a body of
water and face the setting sun as if they are beginning a ritual. In Lemonade, healing is not achieved through the individual but through the community.

Just as Beyonce had featured Chimamanda Adiche’s FeminismTedX talk on her song Flawless, she also takes to Kenyan poet Warsan Shire in her Lemonade album. Snippets from Shires poems For Women Who Are Difficult to Love, The Unbearable Weight of Staying, Dear Moon, How to Wear Your Mother’s Lipstick, and Nail Technician as Palm Reader came together to make an entire script of Lemonade.

It is indeed an album to behold!
