BEYONCÉ Morning Dew (Donk) (Official Lyric Video)

[slaybey]

Beyoncé marks the 4th of July Holiday with a special gift to her fans with the release of "MORNING DEW (DONK)," a new song that also starts a 60-day countdown to her next birthday, and the re-issue of B'DAY, her ground-breaking second album that was released two decades ago on September 4, 2006.

Written by Beyoncé, Pharrell Williams, The-Dream and Darius Dixon, and produced by Beyoncé and Pharrell Williams, "MORNING DEW (DONK)" is the first new song offered from the global entertainer in two years, and it is a direct nod to her loyal BeyHive to commemorate the upcoming epic celebration of B'DAY.

The song, which will be included on the 20th Anniversary edition of B'DAY, arrives accompanied by a lyric video that repurposes old footage, directed by frequent collaborator, Cliff Watts.  It was Cliff Watts who shot Beyoncé's iconic Sports illustrated Swimsuit cover around her 25th birthday.

B'DAY, was the second #1 album for Beyoncé with first week sales of 541,196 copies after its worldwide release September 4, 2006, and in the United States on September 5, 2006.

The #1 US Billboard 200 Album chart debut was repeated internationally, including Japan, where it took less than three days to land atop the International Album Chart.

10 YEARS OF LEMONADE 🍋 | April 23, 2016 spotify template

[cindy-lou]

“So what are you gonna say at my funeral, now that you’ve killed me? Here lies the body of the love of my life, whose heart I broke without a gun to my head. Here lies the mother of my children, both living and dead. Rest in peace, my true love, who I took for granted. Most bomb pussy who, because of me, sleep evaded. Her god listening. Her heaven will be a love without betrayal. Ashes to ashes, dust to side chicks.” Beyoncé: Lemonade (2016)

TEN YEARS OF LEMONADE (April 23rd, 2016)🍋

At its core, Lemonade explores themes of betrayal, healing, resilience, and Black womanhood. The album is widely interpreted as a journey through the emotional aftermath of infidelity in a relationship, often believed to reference Beyoncé’s marriage. However, it expands beyond personal pain into a broader reflection on generational trauma, identity, and empowerment. Through different musical styles, ranging from R&B and rock to country and hip-hop, Beyoncé tells a story that moves from anger and suspicion to reconciliation and self-acceptance. The accompanying film adds layers of symbolism, drawing on African American history, Southern culture, and feminist thought.

Lemonade was both a critical and commercial success. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and made history by having all of its tracks chart simultaneously. Critics praised it as one of the most innovative albums of its time, and it has since been included in numerous “greatest albums of all time” lists. Culturally, the album had a profound impact. It sparked widespread conversations about race, feminism, and Black identity, especially in the United States. Its visual imagery, such as references to historical Black experiences and the inclusion of mothers of victims of police violence, gave it strong political weight. It also influenced how artists approach album releases, popularizing the idea of the “visual album” as a cohesive storytelling format. Beyond music, Lemonade became a symbol of empowerment and artistic control, reinforcing Beyoncé’s role not just as a performer but as a cultural leader shaping discussions far beyond the entertainment industry.
