Lemonade: Not All Sour - North by Northwestern
Anyone looking at or listening to the album Lemonade can tell that it’s full of pain.
Some of this pain on the album, however, is not something everyone can relate to. I alluded to this earlier when I mentioned Mike Brown’s mother; a lot of the pain on this album is a result of what it’s like to be a Black person, not just in America, but in the world as a whole. The climate of the world is shifting. Race is everywhere you look, from the presidential election, to the Black Lives Matter movement, to the NUDivest campaign.
