The county music industry basically hasn’t changed in 50 years. I’m down for Beyonce putting it on notice.

I think some of the songs are in her wheelhouse. Pray You Catch Me could definitely fit the Beyonce album somewhere in between Ghost and Mine but I think she kicked it up a notch or two or three kn this album.
I am sorry love, my white mother who adopted my black girl butt, handed me “The Bluest Eye” and said don't come out until you read this and then we will discuss it, and I hated her for it. Now I celebrate her for it.
I think one of the many strengths of this “visual album” is that it reminds people of the lost art of listening to an album, not just a song. The way people download music now it encourages listening to singles, not albums in a consecutive fashion. There were so many powerful aspects of Lemonade, but one of them is…
Thank you!
That line really gets me as well.
The whole time I was watching I was texting my friends like “I don’t even like Beyoncé that much, but guys... This is... This is something.” Over and over. I was just planning on listening while I did work but I couldn't tear my eyes away. I don't love most of her music but this entire production was so moving and…
OMG Yes. I kept thinking as I watched it that Lemonade is Bey’s Purple Rain. I think he’d have appreciated it.
I’m so in love with sorry, especially since my relationship is going through a rough patch/basically ending. I’ve listened to it at least 10 times in the last 2 days
My reaction to that song was “Of course Bey does country better than most country singers.”
The Bluest Eye is an intensely beautiful and horrific read. You won’t ever be the same.
Yes Clover just yes. I personally am feeling inspired and proud. My sisters are beautiful in this video radiant and regal. The poetry is lilting and empowering. Beyonce is the realest that I have ever seen her be. I want to live in this video quite frankly.
(I’m feeling like I had a lot of feelings about this and I’m trying to get them organized in the right way, so this might not make a whole lot of sense. And as a white lady, I might misstep, please don’t yell at me, I’m trying.)(I’m super grey anyway, so most of y’all probably won’t even see this!)
Oh man. Beyoncé’s music is not my thing, personally, but I am so so so glad that she’s seeing such success with Lemonade and that she’s taken her artistry in this direction. It’s Black Girl Magic at its most commercially successful, which is fantastic. I haven’t watched it yet, but now that I know Jack White (whose…
I watched it Saturday night at my friend’s when it premiered while I was DVRing it at home because free HBO weekend. I have since rewatched the whole thing twice and listened to the album six times in a row yesterday morning while I was getting lunches ready for the week. I get emotional talking about it, in fact my…
Prince would have loved this.
It's extremely well done. Everything from planning to execution is brilliant. It's stylized to high heaven. This is what I would have expected Lady Gaga to evolve to one day. I think it's more powerful coming from Bey.
This album destroyed me, and now this review says everything. THANK YOU.
Stuff I don’t want to hear anymore:
I just listened to the album today and have only been able to watch clips but Bra-VO Beyonce. Bra-fucking-Vo.
