Ep. 12 Lemonade

Kiara Gets Drunk and Talks About Music

“I was served lemons, but I made lemonade.” In Episode 12 Kiara is joined by her former-pod guest and current work-wife Tiff to discuss Beyoncé’s cross-genre concept album Lemonade (2016) over a few Sweet Whisky Lemonades. Much like our cocktails, we make a case for why this album is sweet: the empowering nature of “bad bitch jams”, the celebration of and appreciation for Black culture, the chaotic coolness of Jack White, and the angelic voice of James Blake; but we also touch on the sour: outlier songs that just don’t fit, a strange feature from The Weeknd, and the debate over Beyoncé’s first country song, “Daddy Lessons”. And in the final episode of 2019, Kiara and Tiff express their admiration for Queen B, and how important a record like this is for women everywhere. Jay-Z, we’ve got our eyes on you.
