Beyoncé releases Limited Edition Book “How to Make Lemonade”

Anyone who is familiar with Beyoncé’s landmark record, Lemonade, will tell you it’s more than just an album. It's personal, political, and unapologetically honest, and stands as the crowning achievement in her music, thanks in large part to its stunning visuals.

The singer on Friday released How to Make Lemonade, an expansive 600-page book that finally takes the audience behind-the-scenes with an array of exclusive photos, outtakes, and art that sheds light on her dynamic use of fashion to convey her message in her Lemonade album.

The book takes a comprehensive look at the pop star's impactful album that features a vinyl edition of the record, audio and visual album downloads, and a coffee table book that features never-before-seen photographs from the making of the visual album and poetry by Warsan Shire.

Lemonade is the sixth studio album by Beyoncé which was released on April 23, 2016.

According to Vogue, the book offers an in-depth look at each element of Lemonade’s visual presentation, putting the project’s many influences, collaborators, and cameos on display. Through collages and photographic juxtapositions, Beyoncé’s it-takes-a-village method of creativity comes into full view.

Through collages and photos, the book also provides context to some of the imagery Beyoncé used in her powerful visual album, including the Laolu Senbanjo Yoruba body painting that was featured in the "Sorry" video to a spread about headwraps and Louisiana's antebellum Tignon law.

Many of these fashion-forward touches register as merely stylish in music video format but are in fact imbued with deeper meaning.
