All hail Queen Beyoncé!
The Love On Top singer just followed up her unforgettable Netflix Coachella special, with another huge surprise that members of the Bey Hive probably never thought they’d see in this lifetime.
In case you haven’t heard, the award-winning and multi-platinum album Lemonade is now available on all streaming platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify, for the first time!
Yes, it’s widely known that Mrs. Carter’s sixth studio album came out exactly three years ago today, on April 23, 2016. But prior to this point, the thirteen-track long masterpiece was only legally available to fans on TIDAL, a slightly pricy, subscription-based streaming service owned by JAY-Z.
But that’s all over now!
Finally, we can all ditch the YouTube converter apps and enjoy chart-topping singles like Formation, Hold Up, and Sorry whenever we please. The companion movie for Lemonade also dropped, too, and can be streamed in full on HBO‘s digital platform.
This means that subscribers will have access stunning visuals like this, at any time:
We are so happy that Beyoncé decided to make this iconic album widely accessible to her fans!
In 2018, Blue Ivy‘s parents dropped a joint album together — another TIDAL exclusive — called Everything Is Love. The project was later released on all streaming platforms two days later, and earned rave reviews from critics and fans alike. It went on to win a Grammy award for Best Urban Contemporary Album, and was named Album Of The Year at the 2018 BET Hip Hop Awards.
Unfortunately, Lemonade wasn’t met with the same love during award season.
Although it was the most raw, vulnerable and honest piece of work we’ve ever received from the notoriously private superstar, it wasn’t enough to grab the Recording Academy‘s attention. At the time, many speculated that it was because of the fact that millions of Yoncé fans, who were not subscribers to her husband’s platform, were unable to access the music.
But we hope that this is no longer the case going forward, because the Bey Hive is absolutely over the moon with this wide release, and the addition of never-before-heard tracks like the original demo for Sorry.
