As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Beyoncé has a brand-new album. Her eighth full-length release, Cowboy Carter, is the second part of a three-part project that began with 2022’s house music-inflected Renaissance.
In characteristic fashion, Bey announced the massive, 27-song effort in a major way: via a Verizon commercial that aired during the Super Bowl. She released two singles that same night, Texas Hold ‘Em and 16 Carriages, and they both hit the Top 10 on the country charts.
It’s an encouraging response to a project that was born out of a negative experience in which she performed with the artists formerly known as the Dixie Chicks (now just the Chicks) at the Country Music Awards in 2016 and felt unwelcome in the world of country music. Cowboy Carter is her strong musical plea for musicians to shatter genre boundaries when performing music, and for fans to do the same when listening.
Beyoncé insists that Cowboy Carter isn’t a country album, even though country icons Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson are among its many surprising guests. Here’s what you need to know about how to stream what may prove to be Queen Bey’s best album — along with info on the track list and how to spot Easter eggs.
