I mean, you CAN physically detach the audio from the visual if you want and then you have your relationship album, but with the full weight of the context it was presented in, it's definitely about race manifested through a relationship.

of course you can, but you wont. because if you do, you'll be losing the entire race issue POV.
thats the way it is.
a video should be a complement to the song, they need to be in sync. but a complement not in the sense of
adding entire ideas that arent in the song, but reinforcing the ones that are already there.
think of firework, the song doesnt talk about fats, gays or cancer patients. but the video is a complement to the main idea of the song, empowerment and self-confidence. the video is not ADDING an idea, but developing one.
now think of the songs from lemonade. none of them (except maybe 1 or 2) talk about race issues. so beyonce adding this whole new concept/idea to the video feels insincere. what many would call a gimmick, oportunism to get her press, attract viewers etc. it's like lana writing a song about her big lips and throwing in the video a domestic violence concept for the shock value.
its not that hard to understand.
