Summary

On this episode of Vibe Check, Saeed and Zach revisit Beyoncé’s iconic Lemonade album on its 10th anniversary, unpacking its cultural impact. They also take a closer look at Beyoncé – how her politics, power, and public persona have evolved over the past decade, and where admiration, frustration, and critique collide when art and influence meet. Plus, they share their latest picks for “the vibes are on” and “the vibes are off.” ------------------------------------------------------ Saeed’s Poem: “Beyonce in the Third Person” by Morgan Parker Saeed Jones and Isaac Fitzgerald at the Brattle Theater, May 13th: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/isaac-fitzgerald-at-the-brattle-theatre-tickets-1985452437688
