Beyoncé shared a new post on social media in which she seemingly dropped the track list of her new album, Cowboy Carter. The album includes collaborations with country music icons like Dolly Parton and Linda Martell.
The graphic, set to look like a rodeo poster, showcases that March 29 is when the album will be released. Previously released songs like “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages” appear next to titles like, “Ameriican Requiem,” “Blackbiird,” “Protector,” “My Rose,” “Bodyguard,” “Daughter,” “Spaghettii,” “Alliigator Tears,” “Smoke Hour II,” “Just for Fun,” “II Most Wanted,” “Levii’s Jeans,” “Flamenco,” “Ya Ya,” “Oh Louisiana,” “Desert Eagle,” “Riiverdance,” “Tyrant,” “II Hands II Heaven,” “Sweet Honey Buckin’” and “Amen.”
“Dolly P” appears in the poster, which is a nod to Parton’s song “Jolene,” which is rumored to be one of the songs Beyoncé is set to cover.
A nod to Martell, a first Black country artist who was the first to perform solo at the Grand Ole Opry, was featured with the title “The Linda Martell Show.” The poster also noted “Smoke Hour Willie Nelson,” which could potentially be a hint of another collab.
Beyoncé previously opened up about what drove her to enter the country music genre.
“It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t,” she shared in an Instagram post recently. “Because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of country music and studied our rich musical archive.”
She continued, “It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history.”
