After three years, Beyonce has poured her multi-platinum album ‘Lemonade’ onto all streaming services – most notably Spotify and Apple Music.

Arriving three years ago on this very day, the ‘Formation’ led set was immediately available for purchase (along with its companion visual) but was issued as a TIDAL streaming exclusive.

The move saw Queen Bey’s sixth solo set top the charts globally and sell 2.5 million – much of which was traditional units. However, limiting its streaming ability to Jay-Z‘s growing service in turn limited its streaming potential.

Initially, it looked as though ‘Lemonade’ would reside on TIDAL in perpetuity. Yet, with last year’s Carter side-product ‘Everything Is Love’ receiving a wide-release and live album ‘Homecoming’ debuting on all platforms, it seems to point to a pivot in Bey’s approach.

For its premiere on Spotify et al, the LP now features a bonus track in the form of the ‘Sorry (Demo)’; a fresh, chiller take on the turn-up anthem, it sports different lyrics.

What are you waiting for? Drink ‘Lemonade’ a-new after the jump…

As musical dynasties go, few can rival the legendary Motown. 

For six decades, the iconic imprint has produced star after star who’ve delivered hit after seismic hit.

Last night saw its unparalleled legacy honored with CBS special ‘Motown 60: A GRAMMY Celebration.’ 

That Grape Juice was on-hand at the Microsoft Theater, LA taping, which fused Motown originals such as Diana Ross and Smokey Robinson with contemporary acts who rocked the house with  spirited tributes.

Ciara brought her brand of stage-blazing to a Rick James medley, John Legend offered a masterful Marvin Gaye salute, and Ne-Yo gave a nod to Lionel Ritchie. Elsewhere, Fantasia, Meghan Trainor, Tori Kelly, and Chloe x Halle, joined Thelma Houston for a Women Of Motown medley.
