It's so wild how good Beyonce has been so good for so long 🤔 and that even with all her evolutions it sounds like Beyonce. Her music has grown with her
Another thing I wanted to add, Beyonce didn't just up and do a country album. There's a lot of History behind it and Beyoncé is also country. She's from Texas, born and raised, her dad is from Alabama and her mom from Louisiana so she's country through and through. Some years ago, she performed her country song Daddy Lessons from the Lemonade album at the CMAs and was met with a lot of racist backlash (someone from the audience literally yelled "get that black b*tch off the stage"). So she decided to go back to her country roots and dig deep into the history of country music and black people's place in it. This album has been 5 years in the making and she released a whole other album during that time. Cowboy Carter is more like a history lesson and a rebirth and it's shaping up to be her most critically acclaimed album yet. She has broken so many ceilings with this one.
Great reaction. glad you loved the song! < just a little info about her doing "country" music > She just recently dropped COWBOY CARTER. It’s primarily themed around country music but it's not strictly "country" it incorporates elements of various genres crafted together as a collective work -country, rock, funk, pop, r&b, trap, rap. etc. Basically it's an album about how music grows and evolves, and how we should grow and evolve with it; it's about not being confined by the constraints of genres; that music can be stretched, bent, and blended; and that artists should make bigger creative risks and experiment more with music and their art. and Beyoncé cannot be contained in one genre. She said before releasing the album that "This ain't a country album. This is a Beyoncé album." Cowboy Carter is just the second installment or the second act in Beyoncé's ongoing album trilogy. Act I: Renaissance (Dance & House Music) Act II: Cowboy Carter (Country music themed) Act III: (rumored to be Rock music) She's 2 for 2 so far. Both acts were well received.
I only like this kind of songs from Beyonce because we really hear her voice and there is no screaming. I think this is one of my favourite of hers. Plus, the video is so well done!
This came out my freshman year of high school in 2008. So nostalgic. Loved this era of Beyoncé and Rihanna. (You should listen to Rihanna’s song take a bow. From the same year as if I were a boy. It was my fav song for years)
It’s funny how you guys like most of the stuff off this album when most of her fans hate this era or this is the least liked album😭😭 however the general public love this era
Hellooooo, I love your reviews. Can you please react to RM's new album "Right place, Wrong person" out on Friday May 24th. RM is a rapper and member of BTS.
