Beyoncé debuted the title track and artwork for her upcoming country music album, bringing joy to her legion of fans on social media.
On Tuesday (March 12), Beyoncé revealed the name of her long-awaited album project, Cowboy Carter on her website. The site's home page features a photo of a silver-polished horse saddle, with a red, white and blue leaf draped over it with Cowboy Carter embossed on the sheet. The country music album is her 'Act II' Renaissance album from 2022.
The superstar is already seeing demand for the album increasing by the day, fueled by the release of two singles from the album – “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold'Em”. “Texas Hold Em” is currently leading the Hot 100 charts and made Beyoncé the first black woman to have a single debut at number one on the country music charts. Adding fuel to the frenzy was a recent statement from country music legend Dolly Parton about her iconic hit 'Jolene'. “Well, I think he has! I think she recorded 'Jolene,' and I think it's probably going to be on her country album, which I'm really excited about,” Parton told the Knox News, adding: “I love her! She is a beautiful girl and a great singer.” He also defended her against critics, saying: I think we belong where we can do good and her song is number one in all the charts in the whole world I think. I mean, who can argue with that?”
The merchandise section of the website also featured a series of limited edition CDs with alternate cover photos showing half of Beyoncé's face and four vinyl versions in black, red, white and blue. The box set version boasts a bonus track and t-shirts with the album's title design on the chest. The news sent her legion of fans, known as the BeyHive, into a frenzy, especially on social media platforms like X, formerly known as Twitter. Cowboy Carter will be officially released on March 29th.
