Sometimes greatness is built by “fire.” We all get tested in various ways, and it depends on our resiliency, determination and ability to adapt that will decide if we allow negativity to slow us down; or cause us to get stronger and thrive. With this in mind and new music on the way, Beyonce discusses the inspiration behind Act ii the Cowboy Carter Album.
In a public statement Bey reveals the moment that caused her to want to do an album full of great country music and tunes. She writes,
“Today marks the 10-day countdown until the release of act ii.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of the supporters of TEXAS HOLD ‘EM and 16 CARRIAGES. I feel honored to be the first Black woman with the number one single on the Hot Country Songs chart. That would not have happened without the outpouring of support from each and every one of you. My hope is that years from now, the mention of an artist’s race, as it relates to releasing genres of music, will be irrelevant.
This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had ears ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t. But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music; and studied our rich musical archive.
It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world. While also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history.
The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me. act i is a result of challenging myself, and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work.”
Beyonce Discusses Inspiration Behind Act ii Cowboy Carter Album
It’s never fun going through a tough experience. However, as Bey shows, sometimes it’s just better to keep things moving; and make Lemonade (wink wink) out of lemons. Furthermore, Mrs. Carter also reveals some details regarding Cowboy Carter. She states,
“I have a few surprises on the album, and have collaborated with some brilliant artists who I deeply respect. [It is my] hope that you can hear my heart and soul, and all the love and passion that I poured into every detail and every sound.
I focused on this album as a continuation of RENAISSANCE… hope this music is an experience, creating another journey where you can close your eyes, start from the beginning and never stop
This ain’t a Country album. This is a “Beyoncé” album. This is act in COWBOY CARTER, and I am proud to share it with y’all!”
Awesome. Can’t wait to hear it all. Cowboy Carter drops March 29.
