Beyoncé clarified previous misidentification by affirming that “Cowboy Carter” is not categorized as a country album but rather belongs to the Beyoncé genre. She revealed through her Instagram account that we should anticipate the album's release on March 29th, summarizing the key points of her statement.
Initially, Beyoncé underscored her groundbreaking achievement as the first Black woman to top the Hot Country Songs chart with ‘Texas Hold ‘Em' and '16 Carriages'. She expressed her aspiration for future artists to be judged based on their musical talents rather than their race or gender, advocating for equal opportunities in the music industry.
She proceeded to discuss her extensive work on the album spanning over five years, attributing its inspiration to a past unpleasant encounter. Despite the adversity, her narrative of rediscovering country music during that period and composing these tracks served as evidence for why her fans affectionately call her “Queen B”. “Cowboy Carter,” following the narrative of “Renaissance,” reflects her commitment to personal growth and challenge.
To reiterate, it's important to note that this album is not confined to the country genre—it's unequivocally a Beyoncé album!
