As Beyonce releases the album artwork for her forthcoming album, “Cowboy Carter”, she hinted at why she went country in the first place.
Before there was pop, rock, rhythm or blues, there was country. And Beyoncé – the Houston-born child of Destiny – is not new to this, contrary to popular belief. In 2016, the singer released the critically-acclaimed visual album, Lemonade. On it? “Daddy Lessons”: track six of 12, the brass-banded, clap-handed ditty about a girl, her daddy, his whiskey and a gun.
A lawsuit with their record label, Sony, had finally been settled, they’d just sung the national anthem at the Super Bowl, and they were to embark on a world tour promoting their critically acclaimed LP, Home. Critics and fans alike knew the power they wielded: they were bridging the gap between pop and country with a sprinkle of politics, revitalising the slick genre for a new era.
