![]() ![]() For double entendres on peaches and eating skittles you'll have to reminisce on 2013. The film features a clip of her grandmother's speech at her 90th birthday in which Hattie explains: "I was served lemons but I made lemonade." The story of Beyoncé's sixth album is that of her making better of her sub-par situation. Lemonade is an allegorical allusion to Beyoncé's coping strategy. His only mention is a mute appearance featured in the visual snippet that accompanies 'Sandcastles', Beyoncé's "Forgiveness" track. Jay-Z's dulcet tones are notably absent from the album, a first for the rapper whose vocals have been featured on every one of Beyoncé's solo albums until now. In 'Don't Hurt Yourself' Bey warns her subject that "You know I gave you life, if you try that shit again, you going to lose your wife." We even get a tantalising name drop in the fourth track: things get personal in 'Sorry' when Beyoncé advises her man that he "better call Becky with the good hair." 'Hold Up' is then accompanied by a footage of Beyoncé trotting gleefully down a street armed with a baseball bat to the despair of cars, shop windows and, tellingly, CCTV cameras. The title of the first track, 'Pray You Catch Me', alludes not to marital support but being caught red handed. ![]() ![]() Lemonade doesn't look good from the start. "Yeah, I'll fuck up a good thing if you let me/ Let me alone, Becky/ A man that don't take care his family can't be rich." He apologised to Beyoncé, telling Becky with the good hair to leave him alone. ![]() JAY-Z seemingly fessed up on his album 4:44, released in June. ![]()
