0 27 апреля 2016, 18:48В субботу был представлен 58-минутный визуальный альбом . звезды сопровождалась серией видеоклипов. Поп-дива на этот раз удивила поклонников: многие ждали от королевы Би гламурных роликов, не отягощенных смыслом, но 34-летняя певица представила серьезный и драматичный проект, шум вокруг которого не стихнет еще долго.
Говоря об альбоме Lemonade нельзя обделить вниманием эмоциональные тексты песен, в которых затрагиваются серьезные темы: , расовая идентичность, сестринство, феминизм. Многие , в песнях, о какой измене говорится в одном из треков. Вот только автором текстов является не Бейонсе, а британская поэтесса Уорсен Шайр. Это ее стихи легли в основу песен и именно ее слова так взбудоражили фанатов. Кто же такая Уорсен Шайр?
Биография
Уорсен Шайр родилась в 1988 году в Кении, ее родители родом из Сомали. Когда Уорсен исполнился год, семья перебралась в Англию, там девушка получила образование и степень бакалавра в области искусств. В 2011 она выпустила памфлет Teaching My Mother How To Give Birth, а в 2016 полноценный сборник поэм. Обе книги имели успех, свои стихи Шайр читала в Англии, Италии, Германии, Северной Америке, Южной Африке и в Кении. Ее произведения публиковались в популярных журналах о поэзии, девушка получила высокие оценки литературных критиков, стихи Уорсен переводились на несколько языков, включая итальянский, португальский, шведский, немецкий и эстонский. Она является лауреатом многих призов, в числе которых приз университета Брунеля.
Поэмы Шайр полны трагизма, в 2009 она посетила заброшенное посольство Сомали в Риме, которое стало убежищем для беженцев. В ночь перед приездом Шайр случилось несчастье: с крыши упал один из обитателей здания. Это событие, по словам поэтессы, открыло ей глаза на то, что происходит с беженцами в Европе.
Я написала о них поэму. Это стихи для моей семьи и для всех, кто пережил и переживает сейчас тяжелые времена,
Рассказала Уорсен Шайр.
Творчество
Шайр признается, что вдохновение обычно посещает ее ночью - именно в этом время она пишет свои поэмы, причем под музыку.
Меня вдохновляют фильмы. Если я не смотрю кино, то не пишу. В неделю я обычно смотрю примерно 10 картин,
Признается Уорсен.
Кроме того, Уорсен любит музыку, среди ее любимых песен: FKA twigs - Two Weeks, Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence и Vince Staples - Señorita.
Я слушаю разную музыку: от дабстепа до чего-то действительно депрессивного,
Рассказывает Шайр.
Уорсен Шайр и Бейонсе
Альбом Lemonade получился очень успешным синтезом музыки, поэзии и кино. Над проектом помимо королевы Би трудились шесть режиссеров. Каждая песня - это отдельная глава одной истории. В начале некоторых песен Бейонсе цитирует Уорсен Шайр. Музыкальные критики объяснили, что слушателям может показаться, что Бейонсе открыла им свою душу, но по факту, они слышат слова Уорсен Шайр.
Поп-дива призналась, что произведения Шайр вдохновили ее на написание нового альбома, поэтому любимые строки певицы из стихотворений звучат в новом альбоме.
Дорогая Луна, мы виним тебя за приливы,
Произносит Бейонсе в начале песни Emptiness.
Я не знаю, когда любовь стала ускользать. Знаю только, что ее нет ни у кого из моих знакомых. Руки моего отца, обхватившие шею моей матери. Перезрелый, негодный в пищу плод. О любовниках я думаю как о деревьях, растущих по направлению друг к другу и друг от друга,
Проникновенно говорит звезда в клипе Anger.
Все это не относится к жизни Бейонсе, это не ее история - это история Шайр. И незачем искать виноватых и обрушивать свой гнев на отца или мужа поп-дивы. Эта личная драма Уорсен Шайр, слова 27-летней девушки, которой пришлось пройти через многое. Те, кто свободно владеет английским, могут поближе познакомиться с ее поэзией: сборники автора можно найти в продаже на иностранных сайтах, либо же посмотреть и послушать ее проникновенное чтение собственных произведений на видеохостингах.

рита попова
23 апреля 2016 года Бейонсе неожиданно для всех выпустила «Lemonade» - свой новый, шестой по счёту, студийный альбом. Как и предыдущая работа певицы, «Lemonade» - визуальный альбом: на дюжину треков сняты видео, сливающиеся в единый фильм, рассказывающий об измене и искуплении. По просьбе The Village Рита Попова рассказывает, из чего состоит один из главных альбомов этого года и на что надо обратить внимание при его просмотре или прослушивании.
Феминизм
Контекст
Этот альбом невозможно и не нужно воспринимать в отрыве от культурного контекста. В этом году мы видели достаточно экспериментов как с формой, так и с идеями, которые транслируют музыканты первой величины. Достаточно вспомнить Канье Уэста с созданием альбома в прямом эфире или шероховатости и поиски нового звука в последнем альбоме Рианны. Но одновременно с этим появляется и ощущение пустоты, которую оставил после себя недавний уход Принса и Боуи. Как отмечает Наиля Келета-Мэй, автор курса «Гендер и перформанс» в университете Ватерлоо, эти события заставляют нас переосмыслить роль музыканта в обществе и влияние, которое он способен оказывать. В этом смысле альбом Бейонсе будет полезно переслушать через несколько месяцев или лет, когда (и если) её пластинка о силе и истории афроамериканских женщин достигнет своего эффекта.

Tryna rain, tryna rain on the thunder
Пытаюсь, пытаюсь заставить дождь идти во время грома.
Tell the storm I\"m new
Скажите шторму, что новичок.
I\"m a walk, come and march on the regular
Я приду, выйду и промарширую, и так постоянно,
Painting white flags blue
Перекрашивая белые флаги в синий.
Lord forgive me, I\"ve been running
Боже, прости меня, я убегаю,
Running blind in truth
Вслепую бегу среди правды.
I\"ma rain, I\"ma rain on this bitter love
Я прольюсь дождём, дождём на эту горькую любовь,
Tell the sweet I\"m new
А сладости скажи, что я ещё лишь новичок.
Freedom, cut me loose!
Свобода, отпусти меня!
Cause I need freedom too!
I break chains all by myself
Я рву цепи на себе
Hey! I\"ma keep running
Эй! Я продолжу бежать,
I\"ma wade, I\"ma wave through the waters
Я пройду, прокачусь волной по воде,
Tell the tide, \"Don\"t move\"
Скажу прибою: «Замри!»
I\"ma riot, I\"ma riot through your borders
Я пронесусь бунтом, мятежом через ваши границы,
Call me bulletproof
Называйте меня пуленепробиваемой.
Lord forgive me, I\"ve been runnin\"
Боже, прости меня, я убегаю,
Runnin\" blind in truth
Вслепую бегу среди правды.
I\"ma wade, I\"ma wave through your shallow love
Я пройду, прокачусь волной по твоей любовной мели.
Tell the deep I\"m new
А глубине скажите, что я ещё лишь новичок.
I\"m telling these tears, \"Go and fall away, fall away\"
Я говорю своим слезам: «Катитесь, катитесь!»
May the last one burn into flames
А последняя пусть сгорит в огне.
Freedom! Freedom! I can\"t move
Свобода! Свобода! Я не могу сдвинуться,
Freedom, cut me loose!
Свобода, отпусти меня!
Singin\", freedom! Freedom! Where are you?
Взываю, свобода! Свобода! Где же ты?
Cause I need freedom too!
Потому что мне тоже нужна свобода!
I break chains all by myself
Я рву цепи на себе
Won\"t let my freedom rot in hell
Я не дам своей свободе сгнить в аду.
Hey! I\"ma keep running
Эй! Я продолжу бежать,
Cause a winner don\"t quit on themselves
Потому что победитель не бросает своих.

Семь вводящих в заблуждения заявлений о моей личности,
Six headlights wavin\" in my direction
Шесть фар светят в моём направлении,

Сирены прямо у нас за спиной.
But mama don\"t cry for me, ride for me
Но мама, не плачь по мне, бейся за меня,
Try for me, live for me
Старайся ради меня, живи для меня.
Breathe for me, sing for me
Дыши для меня, спой для меня,
Honestly guidin\" me
Искренне направляй меня.
I could be more than I gotta be
Я мог бы быть стать большим, чем должен.
Stole from me, lied to me, nation hypocrisy
У меня крали, мне врали, национальное лицемерие,
Code on me, drive on me
На меня налагали кодекс, жестоко наезжали.
Wicked, my spirit inspired me
Мой озлобленный дух вдохновлял меня.
Like yeah, open correctional gates in higher desert
Да, как открытые ворота исправительной колонии в пустыне!
Yeah, open our mind as we cast away oppression
Да, откроем наш разум, в то время как мы изгоняем угнетение!
Yeah, open the streets and watch our beliefs
Да, распахнём наши улицы и посмотрим на наши убеждения!
And when they carve my name inside the concrete
И, когда они вырежут моё имя на асфальте,
I pray it forever reads
Я молюсь о том, чтобы его можно было прочесть всегда.
