Morehouse Man Co-Writes Song For Beyoncé’s Lemonade

Lemonade is the sixth studio album released by global phenomenon, Beyoncé. The album was released on April 23rd, 2016 by Parkwood Entertainment. It is the second visual album by Beyoncé and has already been critically acclaimed.

The twelve track album is one that has taken the music industry by storm. The record was released exclusively to Tidal for online streaming on April 23rd.

This gave fans the chance to hear the album in its entirely after subscribing to the streaming service. On April 25th, Lemonade was made available for purchase on Amazon Music and the iTunes store. After this notion, Lemonade debuted at number one on the Billboard Top 200 selling 485,000 copies respectively.

With the release of the album fans and critics alike were interested to see who produced and wrote each of the songs. The album credits revealed that Beyoncé co-wrote and produced all of the songs on the album but it was also revealed that Morehouse alum Vincent Berry teamed with Beyoncé to write the song called “Sandcastles.”

The pure and vulnerable ballad is one that discusses a metaphorical story relating an unstable relationship to that of Sandcastles. “We built sandcastles, that washed away/ I made you cry when I walked away/ And although I promised that I couldn’t stay, baby/ Every promise don’t work out that way.” The song is one of the most personal and raw on the album.

Vincent Berry and Beyoncé made a dynamic team on this song but this is not the first partnership Beyoncé has had with a Morehouse man. Mr. Steve Pamon, a graduate from Morehouse, was recently appointed as Chief Operating Officer of Beyonce’s media company, Parkwood in December of 2015.

If these are the kinds of things we see when Beyoncé teams with Morehouse men we hope more is in store.

“Sandcastles” debuted at #43 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as the #27 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs. The song is available on iTunes and all major retailers where music is sold.
