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.
