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.  |
And I want to address this separately, cause no it's not like that at all. Lemonade builds on the emotions in each segment of the film.
Intuition, Denial, Anger, Apathy, etc.
Which is open ended enough to visually manifest in any way. That's the smart thing about this project, the foundation is broad and open to interpretation. That wouldn't be the case if it was as literal as ya'll want it to be.
Like Lemonade is just a GOOD album/movie project. That's it.
