Beyoncé debuts Lemonade

Beyonce's latest album, Lemonade, has been largely praised by critics following its surprise Saturday release.

The internet went into overdrive Saturday night as Beyonce debuted her new visual album "Lemonade" on HBO. Like her last release, the series of stylized music videos defies industry convention.

But the fuss surrounding her album this time isn't so much on its musicality, fashion or even the innovative way it was presented. Instead, it's the deeply emotional lyrics that reference a cheating spouse that has fans in an uproar.

Throughout the album, references are made to an unfaithful husband, its ensuing emotional pain and a couple's confrontation.

Case in point? The song "Sorry," where Beyonce sings: "I see them boppers in the corner / They sneaking out the back door / He only want me when I'm not there / He better call Becky with the good hair."

The singer is married to rapper Jay Z.

The end of the hour-long video sees Beyonce appear with Jay Z and their daughter Blue Ivy looking happy together.

Lemonade is Beyonce's first full-length album since her self-titled release in late 2013.
