Born out of \u201can experience that [she] had years ago where [she] did not feel welcomed,\u201d Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s latest record is a jaw-dropping ode to the breadth of regional and musical subcultures of the American South. From a fierce reimagining of Dolly Parton\u2018s classic \u201cJolene\u201d to mind-blowing hybrids of country and house (\u201cRiiverdance\u201d), somehow, Cowboy Carter finds Beyonc\u00e9 more experimental and more fearless than ever before.<\/p>\n
Although the road to Cowboy Carter began with Queen Bey\u2019s upbringing in Houston, TX and reached an inflection point during the 2016 CMA Awards, the Grammy winner formally kicked off the album campaign during the 2024 Super Bowl with the dual release of \u201c16 Carriages\u201d and \u201cTexas Hold \u2018Em.\u201d The former provided a gorgeous preview of the LP\u2019s slower, more introspective moments, while the latter etched its name in the Billboard history books almost immediately. With \u201cTexas Hold \u2018Em,\u201d Beyonc\u00e9 became both the first Black woman to top Hot Country Songs and the first Black woman to send a country song to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Moreover, other Black women in country \u2014 including Reyna Roberts, Linda Martell and Tanner Adell \u2014 experienced streaming boosts thanks to \u201cTexas.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both Martell and Adell appear on Cowboy Carter, alongside a star-studded list of collaborators that includes Miley Cyrus. Parton, Willie Nelson, Post Malone, Shaboozey, Willie Jones, The-Dream, Raphael Saadiq, Pharrell Williams and more. Presented as both the official follow-up to and \u201ca continuation of\u201d her Grammy-winning Billboard 200-topping Renaissance album, Cowboy Carter is just the latest in a decade-long string of projects that prove that Beyonc\u00e9 is one of the all-time greats.<\/p>\n
