Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” is proving to be a great album AND a great film!<br /><br />According to Variety, the superstar has been given a Peabody Award for her visual album released on HBO last year.<br /><br />The Peabody Award is considered the “Pulitzer Prize of Radio” and is an industry stamp of approval showing “Lemonade” was more than just music. It was a visual work of art that explored black female identity, Yoruba(yôrəbə) deities, and southern culture in Louisiana.<br /><br />The award comes after Adele surprisingly beat her out for “Album of The Year” at the 2017 Grammys.<br /><br />The award’s organizer’s released a statement saying, “Lemonade draws from the prolific literary, musical, cinematic, and aesthetic sensibilities of black cultural producers to create a rich tapestry of poetic innovation. The audacity of its reach and fierceness of its vision challenges our cultural imagination, while crafting a stunning and sublime masterpiece about the lives of women of color and the bonds of friendship seldom seen or heard in American popular culture.”<br /><br />With her and Jay Z expecting twins later this year, 2017 is already going strong for Beyoncé!<br />
