Beyoncé’s new album track list has been unveiled, set to release tomorrow, sending fans into a frenzy of speculation and excitement.
The album, which boasts a diverse array of titles including “Texas Hold ‘Em,” “16 Carriages,” “Jolene,” “Willie Nelson,” and “American Requiem,” among others, has sparked rumors of potential collaborations, particularly with the standout tracks “Jolene” and “Willie Nelson.”
Who is on Beyonce’s new album?
Speculation about a Beyoncé version of “Jolene” was fueled by Dolly Parton’s hints during a recent interview with Knox News, as previously reported by Nuevo Country.
Nuevo Country has also seen speculation in private fan groups that Miley Cyrus possibly could be featured in ‘II MOST WANTED,’ while Post Malone reportedly could be featured in ‘LEVI’S JEANS.’
What do people think about Beyoncé crossing to country?
To gauge fan reactions, we turned to social media after the track-list was revealed. The responses were mixed, reflecting the diverse opinions surrounding Beyoncé’s foray into country music.
Some fans expressed skepticism, with one Nuevo Country follower on Facebook stating, “Country is anti-pop, so why would anyone take her seriously? Not to say she isn’t talented.”
Others, however, embraced the idea of Beyoncé exploring new musical territories. “It’s just music; any artist can make any genre of music they wish. Don’t forget she’s from Texas; she was born country. I respect Beyoncé and Hardy in both genres of music,” remarked a more optimistic fan.
Notably, major artists have also weighed in on the conversation, with HARDY recently adding his voice. Following his performance at the Houston Rodeo earlier this month, HARDY took to Instagram, expressing surprise at Beyoncé’s absence with the caption “Didn’t see Beyoncé at the rodeo.”
The anticipation surrounding Beyoncé’s album release comes on the heels of her groundbreaking success with “Texas Hold ‘Em,” which made history as the first song by a Black woman or female identified as biracial to top the Hot Country Songs chart. This achievement follows Tracy Chapman’s historic moment last July when her 1988 classic “Fast Car,” covered by Luke Combs, became the first song by a Black woman to solely write a Country Airplay No. 1.
