Award-winning singer Beyoncé, after her much-anticipated album release in March, is having a good time on streaming platforms.
Before she dropped the album on March 29, 2024, the singer revealed the tracklist for the album titled Cowboy Carter, which includes a cover of Dolly Parton’s heartbreak classic Jolene.
On her eighth album, the Halo hitmaker also elevates contemporary country stars. Black women in country music Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, and Reyna Roberts join her for a moving rendition of The Beatles’ Blackbird, while Shaboozey and Willie Jones add their own touches to Spaghettii and Just for Fun, respectively. Post Malone doubles the Texas presence on Levii’s Jeans, while Miley Cyrus harmonizes with Beyoncé on the poignant II Most Wanted.
