    O melhor álbum de 2016. , Lemonade traz mensagens políticas, homenagens às raízes da cantora e empoderamento, são tantas faixas boas que fica difícil escolher apenas uma como favorita, afinal, estamos falando de Beyoncé a melhor artista da atualidade. Isso já é o suficiente para todo o feedback positivo.
    All hail Queen B!!!!

    Beyonce proves she is leading the pack. Even though the album is less cohesive as her album Self-titled, the album offers a complete experience. The album channels various topics including divorce and Black Lives Matter. Highlights include the Jack White assisted Don't Hurt Yourself, the dreamy Love Drought and the anthem Freedom.

    Beyoncé explorou além do seu campo musical e fez um trabalho impecável. Um dos melhores de 2016 e sempre com o fator surpresa. O trabalho visual só complementa as faixas e finaliza com um seguimento incrível.

    A year later and Lemonade still rings relevant. Queen B blends elements of r&b, soul, pop, rock, country and so much more so effortlessly that it feels like second nature. This album is very empowering, political, and just plain bold. This is a record that will be examined by many in the years to come.

    This album is the triumph successor to already stellar BEYONCE. Beyonce has never been shy about experimenting with new genres but this album has something for everyone. R&B, soul, rock, country, funk. You name it, Lemonade has it. Vocally, she is at her most assured. Lyrically, this album breaks new ground and tells the story of a Black woman's journey of growth and forgiveness. AnThis album is the triumph successor to already stellar BEYONCE.

    This is absolutely everything you've waited from this girl. The previous album coundn't do like this. I could call a 100% masterpiece and she should promote more on the album.

    Beyonce at her core has proven to be a student of music, particularly of the R and B genre, but with each album she has experimented with other flavors.

    A masterpiece, especially for Beyoncé. It does not conform to so many of the ideologies of an album, and in such a profound way.

    So much of the sheer musicality, story-telling and visuals engrave Lemonade as one of the greatest albums of all time!

    Beyonce mostra para que veio. Com um empodeiramento incrivel, ela diz e denuncia o racismo existente no mundo. Com faixas bem escritas e bem produzidas "Lemonade" se consagra como um dos melhores albuns do ano de 2016 e da decada.

    Beyoncé finally did what I wanted her to do. she shouted. Different from the others albums, the performer of Formation wanted to make explicit her activism about women and black people condition that she used to quietly show in her songs.

The predecessor, "Beyonce" still got the some of the lyricism of Sasha's side from "I am Sasha Fierce", but it started the journey of Beyonce in throes of feminism. Lemonade added to it's concept the urban contemporary genre, that magnifies it's power in function of the realism about black people. Beyoncé abdicated the powerness of voice and concentrated in the strength of the words. My favorite song is Formation, but I must give contrast these two: "Pray You Catch Me" and "6 inch"… Expand

    This is Beyoncé's strongest album to date. It has left a large mark on the music industry as one of the best albums of all time. From start to end, the album is the definition of perfection.

    A masterful record from Beyonce and her (large) team of songwriters, lyrically covering the pain of infidelity over a plethora of different musical genres.

    I have never been heavily invested in Beyoncé until this album. Although she has stepped outside of her typical style, the effort that she puts into it has given returns of sure quality. To say that this is not deserving of acclaim would be a slap in the face of anyone who owns a pair of ears.

    Another masterpiece from the queen. Less vocals but a lot of personality ! She shows her powerful voice but also her sweetest part. Loved it (even if i prefer when she shows her amazing vocals)

    It is perhaps one of the greatest albums of all time. Every song weaves together to form an intricate yet beautiful web about love. There is not a single bad song. Definitely recommend it.

    Lemonade is an incredibly sophisticated piece of art and certainly one of the greatest and most influential albums of our time. The incredible power of the lyrics and breathtaking visuals make this the Beyoncé's best work to date and confirm her among gods of black music.

    Lemonade is an incredible album, it's so powerful, intimate, beautiful. Her videography is simply impeccable, all the care and perfection of portraying what Beyoncé was feeling is simply incredible and agree with Adele, the album of the year 2016 is Lemonade and Grammys what should Beyoncé do to win an AOTY? Maybe be white...

    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]
