Lemonade
Beyoncé named every stage of being cheated on, from intuition to redemption. If you're stuck on anger, that's a chapter, not the ending. 🍋
Who it's for
Lemonade names its film chapters after emotional states (Intuition, Denial, Anger, Apathy, Emptiness, Accountability, Reformation, Forgiveness, Resurrection, Hope, Redemption), giving listeners a map of betrayal that is openly non-linear.
