With just 10 days left until the arrival of her new album “Act 2: Cowboy Carter”, Beyoncé revealed that the report came after she went through an experience where she “didn’t feel welcome”.
In a lengthy Instagram post, the singer wrote that the idea for the long-awaited sequel to “Renaissance” came about after she was involved in an unidentified incident. “It was born out of an experience I had years ago where I didn’t feel welcome… and it was very clear that I wasn’t,” she said. “But because of this, I delved deeper into the history of national music and studied our rich musical archive.”
Although she does not title the incident itself, it is possible that she is referring to her performance of “Daddy Classes” at the Nation Music Awards alongside the Dixie Chicks in 2016. At that time, she faced criticism from the national community, including artists who rejected it. as just a pop artist.
“The criticism I faced when I entered this style forced me to overcome the restrictions that were placed on me,” she wrote. “Act II is the result of challenging myself and taking the time to bend and mix genres to create this body of work.”
Beyoncé says she started working on “Act 2” five years ago and has several surprises in store for the album, including several collaborations. “I hope you can hear my heart and soul, and all the love and enthusiasm I put into every element and every sound,” she wrote. “I focused on this album as a follow-up to RENAISSANCE… I hope this music is an experience, creating another journey where you can close your eyes, start from the beginning and never stop.”
She ended her post with a bold statement: “This is not a Nation album. This could be a ‘Beyoncé’ album.”
Beyoncé first entered this new era during the Super Bowl in February, when she released two singles – “Texas Keep ‘Em” and “16 Carriages” – that sparked dialogue about the origins of country music. Shortly after, she became the first black woman to top Billboard’s Country Songs chart after “Texas” debuted at the top. Collaborators on the singles included Raphael Saadiq, Robert Randolph and Rhiannon Giddens. Dolly Parton recently suggested that Beyoncé could have covered or interpolated her 1973 hit, “Jolene,” for a song, though it’s unclear whether that will be in the project.
“Act 2: Cowboy Carter” is set to be released on March 29. Read the full post below.
