Things are about to get real, as we’re just days away from the March 29 release date of Beyoncé’s new album, Cowboy Carter. In the lead-up, fans have been clamoring for details about the project, and today (March 27), Beyoncé revealed some big ones by unveiling the tracklist.

The tracklist, as presented on Beyoncé’s Instagram post sharing it, doesn’t confirm or deny the rumors of Travis Scott and Lady Gaga being featured on the album. However, there does appear to be a track called “Dolly P,” followed by a track titled “Jolene,” presumably a cover of Dolly Parton’s classic. Again, the post’s formatting doesn’t make it clear, but it looks like there’s either a song called “Smoke Hour Willie Nelson” or a song called “Smoke Hour” featuring Nelson, with the latter option seeming more likely.

(Update: The full tracklist with features was revealed ahead of the album’s North American release, when it became available in international markets like New Zealand and Australia, as Consequence notes. Featured on the album are Shaboozey, Miley Cyrus, and Post Malone. The publication also notes the album is presented in the style of a country radio show, and making appearances as DJs are Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, and Linda Martell.)

Check out the Cowboy Carter tracklist below.

Post Malone and Miley Cyrus Rumored as Features on Beyoncé’s ‘Act II’

by
Beyoncé Announces 'Act II' Album, Releases Two New Singles

Beyoncé’s Act II just got even bigger. Pop Crave reports that Miley Cyrus and Post Malone will be on the Act II: Cowboy Carter album.

Beyoncé’s debut country album, Act II: Cowboy Carter, will be released tomorrow at midnight on all platforms. The 32-time Grammy winner just released the tracklist before its highly anticipated March 29 release date.

Beyoncé dropped the news on Instagram as she has in the past to preview the tracklist. Notable songs include “Jolene,” a record Dolly Parton previously teased, which may appear in Beyoncé’s second Renaissance installment. Another title that stood out was “The Linda Martell Show,” a notable reference to one of the first commercially successful Black artists in country music, not to mention the first to play the Opry.

Now, get this: It’s not clear if “Dolly P” and “Smoke Hour Willie Nelson” are telltales that two of the biggest names in country music are featured on those records, so we’ll have to wait and see. Reports have shown that Travis Scott may appear in a cameo, but that has not been confirmed. 

ICYMI, Beyoncé jump-started her move into the genre back in February when, out of nowhere, she released two singles, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages,” both during the Super Bowl. 

In a previous post on Instagram, Beyoncé explained why she began studying the origins of country music. “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 said. “But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive.”

Whether you’re a country music fan or not, the queen is about to drop, and we’re here for it.

“COWBOY CARTER” Tracklist: Beyonce’s Next Album To Include “Jolene,” “Levii’s Jeans,” And 25 More Songs

by

It feels like just yesterday that Beyonce shared her groundbreaking RENAISSANCE album, but it’s due to celebrate its second anniversary this July. As promised, she’ll be sharing the second part of the three-installment series this Friday (March 29), and has already been giving us a COWBOY CARTER rollout that’s full of inspiring Western looks for the summer season. On Tuesday (March 26), the “Halo” hitmaker donned a Canadian tuxedo for an Instagram Reel soundtracked to Sly & The Family Stone’s “Spaced Cowboy.”

In the comment section, the BeyHive didn’t take long to begin begging for the tracklist. Thankfully, unlike her RENAISSANCE visuals, the blonde beauty quickly obliged, unveiling the impressive 27-song lineup for COWBOY CARTER on Wednesday afternoon. It’s unclear if she’ll be working with any other artists, but we do know the previously teased cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” appears to be on the album. Other titles like “DOLLY P” and “WILLIE NELSON SMOKE HOUR” suggest we could hear from the country legends alongside Bey, but only time will tell. Interestingly, rumours are also circulating about a potential second link-up with Travis Scott.

Of course, singles “16 CARRIAGES” and “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” will appear too, with new songs like “TYRANT,” ” LEVII’S JEANS,” and “II HANDS II HEAVEN,” just to name a few. The use of double II’s throughout appears to be a nod to this being the second part of Queen B’s trifecta. Keep scrolling to see the full COWBOY CARTER tracklist, and let us know who you think Beyonce’s most noteworthy collaborators will be in the comments.

What Do We Know So Far About Beyoncé & Uber’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ Collab?

by

Beyoncé’s new album, Cowboy Carter is now just days from release, and the newly-minted country star is turning up the anticipation. It looks like she’s got some sort of collaboration happening with ride-sharing app Uber, as Uber cryptically teased an announcement on Twitter. “We’ve got some news,” it read. “Tomorrow at 2:00 pm ET.” While that, by itself, wouldn’t be enough to get anyone too riled up, including a bee emoji, a cowboy emoji, a crown emoji, and a video of a running horse were more than enough to perk up the BeyHive’s sensors.

As for just what the announcement is going to be, well… That remains to be seen. Fans have speculated — joked, really — in the comments that the announcement could have something to do with Beyoncé’s album cover horses, affectionately known as Reneigh and Chardonneigh, but in truth, there are a plethora of possibilities.

One eagle-eyed fan noted that a video billboard outside Uber Arena in Berlin bears an advertisement for the album, subtly suggesting that a tour announcement could be coming soon.

Others — many, actually — joked that Uber would be adding new options to its ride selections, including horseback and horse-drawn carriages. That would certainly be a splashy move, if not a very efficient one.

One thing is for sure: Plenty of Beyoncé fans will be seated, as they say, for Uber’s announcement tomorrow — and for the release of Cowboy Carter, which drops on March 29.

Will Beyoncé Go On Tour For ‘Cowboy Carter?’

by

Beyoncé is one of the most unpredictable active artists. Every image, online caption, and article of clothing the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer wears is a clue of sorts. The only problem is you never know what to look for until her business venture is announced (e.g., Cécred) or the project drops.

So, the Beyhive is always on high alert. With her forthcoming studio album, Cowboy Carter, expected to hit streaming platforms this Friday, March 29, many believe Beyoncé could be hitting the road yet again. Continue below for further speculation.

Will Beyoncé Go On Tour For ‘Cowboy Carter?’

Between May and October 2023, Beyoncé galavanted around the globe on her Renaissance World Tour. The tour was not only a chance to experience the Grammy Award-winning album live. But an event experience to let attendees and her stellar dancers (including daughter Blue Ivy) cast their worries behind. So, can fans expect an extension of the musical celebration for a Cowboy Carter tour? The answer is maybe.

If history serves as an indication, it is highly likely that Beyoncé will embark on another tour. In the past, she’s had a headlining tour for each of her solo albums (with the expectation of 2011’s 4 and 2019’s The Lion King: The Gift).

However, Beyoncé has never done tours this close together, the closest being 2013’s The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour (which ended in 2014) and 2016’s The Formation World Tour. Beyoncé hasn’t officially announced anything, but that’s no solace for supporters’ wallets. A tour announcement could come right after Cowboy Carter is officially dropped.

For now, just be prepared to saddle up and kick off the yeehaw agenda from the comforts of your home via your favorite streaming platform.

Beyoncé’s Brilliant ‘Cowboy Carter’ Album Promotion Projected Onto The Guggenheim Wasn’t Quite ‘Authorized’ By The Museum

Beyoncé’s ability to break the internet is well-documented. The latest example was the frenzy she caused when she announced her songs “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ‘Em” during the 2024 Super Bowl. Now, the singer’s Cowboy Carter album rollout (which included multiple artwork reveals) has users online feverishly looking for clues.

To keep the fan flames burning, a text display of the body of work’s scheduled release date was projected outside of the Guggenheim in New York. However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the museum denies authorizing the stunt despite its marketing brilliance.

In a statement shared with the outlet, a representative for the facility shut down the artistic collaboration. “[The Guggenheim] was not informed about and did not authorize this activation,” they said. “However, we invite the public — including Beyoncé and her devoted fans — to visit the museum May 16–20 when we present projections by artist Jenny Holzer on the facade of our iconic building to celebrate the opening of her major exhibition.”

With Guggenheim’s dismissal of involvement, it is unclear who was behind the ploy. Was it the singer’s management company, Parkwood? A rouge Beyhive fan? Batman? We guess the world will never know. But what we do know is Cowboy Carter will prance onto streaming platforms on March 29.

Azealia Banks Accuses Beyonce & Jay-Z Of “Pathetic” Smear Campaign After Country Era Criticism

by

Last month, Azealia Banks took to social media to share her unfiltered take on Beyonce’s new country era. As expected, she earned herself plenty of backlash from the BeyHive in the process. According to her, the hitmaker missed the mark with “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” and “16 CARRIAGES,” in what she calls a “lazy” attempt at diving into a new genre. She urged Beyonce to “stop the madness,” and instead just leave it up to pros like K. Michelle.

A few weeks after Banks unleashed her criticism, Billboard published a story about her various high-profile feuds. Now, she’s suspicious that Beyonce was behind it in some way. She hopped on Instagram to respond, slamming the songstress and her husband for what she suggests is a smear campaign.

“It’s becoming INCREASINGLY obvious you let your staff take payments to spew any bullsh*t in these weak attempts to control narratives,” she said. “But, the fact that my message regarding beyonce and roc nations treatment/sabotaging of black female artists/writers behind the scenes and her audacious expectation that black women somehow join her in a moment of pride for being ‘the first black woman to top the country charts’ ( Ugh I almost vomited ) was enough for their team to pay for this weak attempt at damage control is very tickling.”

“I think it’s pathetic that in the year 2024, a global superstar and her husband’s overwhelmingly desperate attempts to snag an ‘album of the year,’ – obviously to pump some steam into the curious attempt to ‘disrupt’ the power structure of the music industry with their own DSP – Tidal , needs to hinge on these offensively infantilizing epithets like ‘first black woman (to spend payola at country radio LOL)’ as if she deserves something special simply for being black,” she also added. “This post-BLM propaganda isn’t masking how both songs pale in comparison to literally every single artist making contemporary white americana country music.” What do you think of Azealia Banks accusing Beyonce and her team of targeting her with negative PR? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
