On April 23, 2016, Beyoncé surprise-released her sixth studio album, "Lemonade," accompanied by a visually stunning hour-long film. This marked a continuation of her strategy of surprise album drops, a method she largely popularized.
The visual album was a conceptual song cycle tracing a relationship's journey from infidelity to eventual reconciliation. It delved into themes of generational trauma, African-American culture, and social justice, with its visual narrative filmed partly in Louisiana.
