Dantesque, inventive and exciting, the album includes interludes by legendary country star <strong>Willie Nelson<\/strong> and black country singer <strong>Linda Martell<\/strong>, successful covers of <strong>Dolly Parton\u2019s <\/strong><em><strong>Jolene<\/strong> <\/em>and The Beatles\u2019 <em>Blackbird<\/em>, a tribute to American civil rights activists. But also collaborations with <strong>Post Malone<\/strong> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numero.com\/en\/music\/miley-cyrus-scandals-vma-wrecking-ball-flowers-album\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Miley Cyrus<\/a> on the poignant <em>II Most Wanted<\/em>, which is reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac.<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p>We also hear the voice of Beyonce\u0301\u2019s youngest daughter, Rumi Carter, on the song <em>Protector<\/em>, while the names Nile Rodgers and Stevie Wonder stand out in the album\u2019s credits. Wondering about the height of luxury? In addition to being the object of a cover, Dolly Parton appears twice on the record, especially during an interlude that seems to allude to Jay-Z\u2019s infidelity, since it refers to a notorious \u201c<em>Becky with the good hair<\/em>\u201d, the rapper\u2019s alleged mistress. An already iconic intervention. Finally, Queen Bey puts the emphasis on the younger generation of African-American country songwriters, such as Tanner Adell and other artists who have yet to gain the recognition they deserve.<\/p><h2>&nbsp;<\/h2><h2>Cowboy Carter, a true country album?<\/h2><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p>Ahead of the release of this brilliant album,<strong> Beyonce\u0301<\/strong> clarified on her Instagram account that her voice is now more powerful and versatile than ever: \u201c<em>This ain\u2019t a Country album. This is a \u2018Beyonce\u0301\u2019 album<\/em>.\u201d Indeed, there are touches of R\u2019n\u2019B, pop, rap, house, funk music and even opera in <em>Cowboy Carter<\/em>. References and instruments, such as mandolin, banjo, ukulele, harmonica, abound. If you listen carefully, you will recognize the lyrics of <em>Good Vibrations <\/em>by the <strong>Beach Boys<\/strong>, a chord from <em>These Boots Are Made for Walkin\u2019 <\/em>by <strong>Nancy Sinatra<\/strong> and notes from <em>Oh Louisiana <\/em>by Chuck Berry.<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p>However, the essence of Beyonce\u0301\u2019s eighth opus is encapsulated in its Southern rock sound palette &#8211; rock\u2019n\u2019roll, country and blues &#8211; at the crossroads between bands like The Allman Brothers Band or Lynyrd Skynyrd and the singer\u2019s tribute to her Texan origins, Beyonce\u0301\u2019s twist. After all, Texas is the cradle of blues and country music&#8230; The star, who uses her fingernails as percussion on her album, grew up completely immersed in that culture. The press release about <em>Cowboy Carter <\/em>confirms it: \u201c<em>The album is a cornucopia of sounds that Beyonce\u0301 loves and grew up listening to, between visits and eventually performances at the Houston Rodeo &#8211; Country, original Rhythm &amp; Blues, Blues, Zydeco and Black Folk.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n                    <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n                    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Beyonc\u00e9, Miley Cyrus - II MOST WANTED (Official Lyric Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-cookieconsent=\"statistics, marketing\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SyXfJi2KZ-A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><div class=\"cookieconsent-optout-statistics cookieconsent-optout-marketing\"><\/div>\n                    <\/div><\/figure>\n                    <h2>Beyonce\u0301 brilliantly takes back ownership over country music with Cowboy Carter<\/h2><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p>As much fun as it is to listen to <em>Cowboy Carter<\/em>, which sounds like an instant classic, the album is not just about the music. From the moment the title of <strong>Beyonce\u0301<\/strong>\u2019s new album and its cover were unveiled &#8211; she poses like a cowboy (or Napoleon) on a white horse, holding the American flag in her hand &#8211; we knew that the pop icon wanted to do more than simply make us dance in cowboy boots.<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p>With her already cult album <em><strong>Renaissance<\/strong> <\/em>(2022), Beyonce\u0301 reminded us that house music was born in the queer and black communities. <em>Cowboy Carter <\/em>is another illustration of her commitment. She stated on Instagram: \u201c<em>This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed&#8230;and it was very clear that I wasn\u2019t. But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive. 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.<\/em>\u201d<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p>The industry of country music has often been hostile to African-American artists, even though it borrows from black sounds. The banjo, the star instrument of country musicians, is derived from the West African akonting, a folk lute brought (or recreated) to America by African slaves. And the forefathers of country music, such as the Carter Family, often learned to play from black musicians.<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p>While black country artists have always existed, they have never received the same musical recognition and success on the charts as white artists. Yet a palace coup took place in 2018, when rapper<strong> Lil Nas X<\/strong> released the hit track <em><strong>Old Town Road<\/strong> <\/em>(2018), blending pop, hip-hop and country music with the mainstream imagery of a queer black cowboy. Except that while the track was soaring to the top of the charts, <em>Billboard <\/em>decided to remove the song from the country chart, claiming that it didn\u2019t contain enough elements characteristic of the genre. A decision that was deemed as scandalous and racist. It seems that ultra-conservative institutions are willing to keep country music as a stronghold for white men only.<\/p>\n                    <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n                    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Beyonc\u00e9 - JOLENE (Official Lyric Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-cookieconsent=\"statistics, marketing\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x9XHMK3nWr4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><div class=\"cookieconsent-optout-statistics cookieconsent-optout-marketing\"><\/div>\n                    <\/div><\/figure>\n                    <h2>A political album<\/h2><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p>Beyonce\u0301\u2019s reappropriation of the codes of Western culture proves to be highly political &#8211; she had already flirted with country music with her track <em>Daddy Lessons <\/em>back in 2016. It is part of a desire to reinstate the figure of the black cowboy, who in the collective unconscious appears a white man. Black cowboys have always existed. In the 19th century, almost half of all cowboys were black, Mexican, Indian or mixed race. Yet history has made them invisible, despite the presence of figures like Bill Pickett.<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p>With Beyonce\u0301\u2019s conquest of country music, Americana at large, as well as the great American outdoors in her lyrics, reinstating black people in the history of the cowboy imagery is already a winning bet. Indeed, by topping the Billboard \u201cHot Country Songs\u201d with the track <em><strong>Texas Hold \u2018Em<\/strong><\/em>, the singer becomes the first black woman in history to achieve this feat, while imposing a new mainstream representation.<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"text-align-center\">&#8220;The criticism I faced when I first entered this genre (country music) forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me.&#8221; Beyonce\u0301<\/h2><p class=\"text-align-center\">&nbsp;<\/p><p>On Instagram, the singer wrote: \u201c<em>I feel honored to be the first Black woman with the number one single on the Hot Country Songs chart. That would not have happened without the outpouring of support from each and every one of you. My hope is that years from now, the mention of an artist\u2019s race, as it relates to releasing genres of music, will be irrelevant<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p>She added: \u201c<em>The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me.
