The second "visual album" (a collection of short films) by Beyoncé, this time around she takes a piercing look at racial issues and feminist concepts through a sexualized, satirical, and solemn tone.

Beyonce's Tree of Life
A very good portrait of personal pain, history, and identity wrapped into a national one. "If we're gonna heal, let it be glorious."

I love hype.
You can say you hate it, but if you think about it, maybe there has been a time in your life when you were caught up in it--and you loved that experience. Maybe in the end you were disappointed, but in the moment, maybe the hype felt good, and in that moment, you felt connected to the thousands (millions?)…

Not really sure what to classify Lemonade as, especially because it seems too ambitious to be labeled as a "visual album" but the music and images are so ceaselessly intertwined. All I know is that I collapsed into a euphoric state when it started - flowing like a river through bewildering, contemplative imagery - and I "woke up" with the most cathartic sense of Beyoncé's artistry. 11 chapters, 11 styles, 11 tones, one shimmering experience. Many have compared the art piece to Late-Godard and Malick, but it's all Knowles; an engrossing odyssey through history but rooted in the pains and passions of infidelity. Whatever Lemonade is, it's one of the most essential journeys you can take.
the album download came with free copies of the death certificates of all my ex boyfriends
gone girl: the musical
i can't believe i just witnessed jay-z's execution
A gigantic, postmodern explosion of unfiltered expressionism.
intuition -
it’s that deep sinking feeling in your gut that you get when you know that something is wrong. when you know that someone is lying to you. when you know what they’re hiding.
denial -
you try to change. make yourself more appealing, make yourself prettier or more available or quieter. change yourself to be better, punish yourself for not being enough.
anger -
but why should you? is this pain worth it? it’s not. why should you have to suffer and change and try so hard for nothing - for no one? you’re better than this.
apathy -
but whatever you don’t care anyway. you’re above this, you’re above this person. you feel nothing. you are nothing.…
if i were jay-z i would kill myself
