Beyoncé Becomes First Black Woman to Nab Number One Country Album With ‘Cowboy Carter’
rollingstone.com/music/music-news/beyonce-cowboy-carter-tops-country-album-chart-number-one-1234998548/
Quick Glance: Has Beyoncé Already Created Her Rock Album?
- Beyoncé blends R&B, country, and hard-hitting guitars on Cowboy Carter, hinting at a potential rock album, with some arguing that this album could already fit that genre.
- Tracks like the Prince-meets-Sheryl Crow pop-rock gem 'Bodyguard' and the spectacular Tina Turner-style anthem 'Ya Ya' support the notion, along with the proggy elements in the Jon Batiste-assisted opening track 'American Requiem'.
- However, with 27 often wildly disparate tracks, Cowboy Carter is challenging to categorize. In a new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now, many tracks are discussed, speculating that Beyoncé's next album, the third in the trilogy, might be an official rock album.
- One of the album's guest stars, country singer Willie Jones, expresses excitement about collaborating with one of his biggest inspirations on the ballad 'Just for Fun' in the episode.
