We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.No one could possibly be blamed for missing out on the slew of incredible cameos tucked within Beyoncé's powerhouse visual album, Lemonade; not when the world was far too busy being floored by the singer's triumphant tribute to black women, mixed with a deeply personal confessional.
Having first aired as a special on HBO, 23 April; the whole thing's now dropped on Tidal, meaning fans can now carefully return to the hour-long special and pick out the wide variety of recognisable faces: from family (including her mother Tina Knowles), up-and-coming stars Zendaya and Amandla Stenberg, ballerinas and restaurant owners, to the mothers of victims of police brutality.
Though she doesn't make a personal appearance in the work, poet Warsan Shire's words are filtered throughout the visual album; bringing a haunting, beautiful quality to its deeply reflective tone.
While originally a Tidal exclusive, Lemonade has just been made available on iTunes.
