Let me be honest: I wanted to make the whole bloody <i>Lemonade <\/i>Album of the Month (and I really could. It is my blog), but for the sake of consistency, I picked one song. It was a bloody difficult choice, too. <i>Lemonade <\/i>is such an incredible body of work, a beautiful work of art. I did a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NiaLangleyOfficial\/photos\/a.388044717933589.91160.212625075475555\/1081003638637690\/?type=3&amp;theater\">brief post on why on Facebook<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/prettymuchamazing.com\/reviews\/beyonce-lemonade-career-defining-album\">this article<\/a> and<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nylon.com\/articles\/beyonce-lemonade-review\"> <i>especially<\/i> this one<\/a> express my and others&#8217; feelings about the album more than perfectly. So read those.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I had to pick one song, which was difficult because I love them all. I happen to be listening to &#8220;Sorry&#8221; the most. It is a great song, and not just because of the great &#8220;Becky with the good hair&#8221; line. This song, with a double entendre wrapped in the full meaning of <i>Lemonade<\/i>, is an unapologetic declaration that &#8220;I ain&#8217;t sorry,&#8221; to put it simply. And I needed this song. Because I tend to apologize for things for which I have no reason apologizing. Melodically, it is great. Lyrically, I love it. Visually, it is fun (Serena Williams slayed). Please get the visual album, if you have not already. Enjoy not just &#8220;Sorry,&#8221; but all of <i>Lemonade<\/i>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QxsmWxxouIM\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-uMQoah8XHWg\/UO7bEAKjPOI\/AAAAAAAADSE\/fnCP5A4FLLY\/s1600\/Nia%2BLangleySignature.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"148\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nialangley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nia-LangleySignature.jpg?resize=320%2C148&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My song of the month is &#8220;Sorry&#8221; by Beyonc\u00e9.
