LATE ONE NIGHT IN APRIL, THE INTERNET — It’s Saturday night. We could be anywhere in the world, but we’re all here. Witness the power of Beyoncé. Let’s talk about what we just saw. St. Félix: I’d like to begin with Warsan Shire. Shire is a young Somali-British poet whose stanzas provide the connective tissue of Lemonade , from her “For Women Who Are Difficult To Love” and “Teaching My Mother How To Give Birth.” She’s credited with film adaptation, too. When Alexis Okeowo of The New Yorker profiled Shire last year, she said this of Shire’s writing: “How much of the book is autobiographical is never really made clear, but beside the point.” That coyness, the dexterity to mess with the playfulness of biography and the seriousness of fantasy, is what struck me so hard about Lemonade the Visual. On her 2013 self-titled album, Beyoncé used Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s fairly straightforward nonfiction manifesto. That text was declarative, universal. But poetry summoning the various limbos blac...

On South 10th Avenue and Marquette Street South in downtown Minneapolis stands the old Schmitt Music building, and on its back is a giant black-on-white sheet-music mural — specifically, the busy notation of a section from Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit. Around the time of his 1978 debut album, For You , Prince posed in front of the mural for photographer Robert Whitman, his expression matter-of-fact, his perfectly rounded Afro a sunrise over the musical horizon. Even over a 40-year career framed better than most by iconic images, it’s difficult to think of a more purely apt Prince photograph: a young man teeming with music. Prince Rogers Nelson was, along with Michael Jackson and Madonna, one of the top-tier pop stars of the video age, and his combination of critical and popular success, big hits and relentless creativity, made him, without question, the 1980s’ premier musical auteur. Reviewing 1986’s Parade for Rolling Stone , Davitt Sigerson began, “Who but Prince fills us today with th...
