Beyoncé's sixth album has 12 tracks on the playlist, followed by a one-hour film that was released in April 2016. It earned her the Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album in 2017. The second "visual" album was titled "Lemonade" as an honorary tribute about the experience of black women.

The box set includes the first pressing of the 180 gram, four-sided vinyl in attractive yellow color.
