Beyonce’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ Has Finally Dropped: Release Details and Impact Explained
Following the progression of Queen Bey's country kick, the songstress finally dropped her latest project called "Cowboy Carter."
The 32-time Grammy winner released her eighth studio album fully embracing her country roots and "Texas hold em' " vibe.
Southern icons were highlighted like Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, and newer artists such as Shaboozey.
Reminiscent of family-themed songs like "Daddy Lessons" on her previous album Lemonade, Beyonce, 42, stepped into the studio with her 6-year-old daughter, Rumi Carter, on the track "Protector."
"Mom, can I hear the lullaby please?" Rumi asks at the beginning of the song. A tribute to her three children, Beyonce promises to be their protection, and projection to shine, per the lyrics.
The Houston born superstar made a milestone, gracing W Magazine's first ever digital cover featuring rodeo-style looks in a very "Cowboy Carter" fashion.
The '16 Carriages' singer is seen swinging a lasso, sporting an enchanting smokey eye, a cowboy hat, cropped white tank top, and of course — brown leather chaps.
Other stunning looks included a full lace Gucci dress, a Chloe cape featuring a bolo tie and ruffled dress, and an Alexander Wang fur coat which she sported on the cover.
Young fans shouldn't be skeptical of Beyonce's new sound, seeing as though the Texas native has represented H-Town for years, even embracing western looks and cowboy hats as far back as Destiny's Child.
Beyoncé Knowles continues to break barriers, getting skin in the game since 1995 and evolving into a multi-millionaire and business mogul.
Mrs. Carter has also expanded her business ventures to new heights, creating haircare brand Cécred, which the singer founded following inspiration from her mother Tina Knowles' hair salon and life teachings.
Ms. Tina is also responsible for the iconic looks the dazzling star has worn over the years, even making outfits by hand on many occasions.
