Beyonc\u00e9 gives country music her special touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It expresses to Black women to never shy away from worlds they may not feel seen, needed or accepted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Cowboy Carter<\/em> is a masterpiece<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyonc\u00e9 mixes country, RnB, trap and even a bit of pop to create this sound that is uniquely hers which ultimately makes Cowboy Carter<\/em> a masterpiece. It’s also completely different than what we heard from Renaissance which was a “disco trap” dance album. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album features remakes from classic hits like “Jolene” by Dolly Parton and “Blackbird” by The Beatles. That gives that Yonc\u00e9 soul and flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She gives us “hair flying in the wind” songs like “BODYGUARD” and then deeper cuts with “DAUGHTER”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black women always create stellar art <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter the tribulations and challenges thrown at Black women, when we create – we create for longevity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our art is calculated, researched and produced with our tears, sweat and drive. This album is a product of that and also a nod at Black women creatives to feel okay to step outside their norm, do their research and know their talents don’t have to stay in one genre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
