I see myself listening casually to Cowboy Carter songs more than I do Renaissance (which feels like something I need to listen to in full from front to back).
So far my favorite tracks are:
Ameriican Requiem Daughter Alliigator Tears Just For Fun Ya Ya Tyrant -

omg
The album is amazing and will get better with each listen as it all starts to come together. My first listen was great but my second was incredible wow

I can’t wait for it to release in my time zone so I can listen again! Such an amazing album

Beyoncé’s album made me so much more excited for lasso. Love cowboy carter, and I’m super hype to hear Lana’s take on country.
I still think we’ll get LDRX info around/after Coachella

Mer liked a post in a topic by NikoGo in Lana to release new song "Henry, Come On" with Luke Laird
Unpopular opinion, I don’t want this to be the first song released. It’s super cute and I love the melody, but if she’s going country she needs to debut it with a bang, and Henry doesn’t seem like a bang, it seems like a soft sad song

i was really worried for this album. i’m not the biggest country fan so was cautious to not get too excited for it
just had my first listen... i was SO wrong to be worried, this album is really good
enjoyed almost all the songs. a few misses (but to be expected on an album with well over 20 songs)
highlights for me:
AMERIICAN REQUIEM
SMOKE HOUR
BODYGUARD
SPAGHETTII
II MOST WANTED
LEVIIS JEANS
YA YA
II HANDS II HEAVEN
TYRANT
AMEN (the outro is KNTY)
will digest this album over the next few months, gonna take me a while. i remember i wasnt sold on renaissance at first but it became one of my favourite bey releases, so i’m glad this one has clicked a bit earlier for me
7.9/10

It leans most heavy into country and folk but as she said, it's a BEYONCE album. There's two specific moments that discuss the idea of genre bending.
As a Mexican American with deep southern ties, this is such a beautiful project for me. Her voice is the best it's ever been and there's so much to sink your teeth into--you can tell as always she did her homework + worked with great collaborators. The GP will obviously go for the more upbeat tracks, but the most country cuts are some of the ones I see myself going back to often.
A more than worthy follow up to Act I. I hope it gives an extra push in the industry to black country singers.
Also here's a nice quick read ("The daughter who eclipses the father" is a beautiful sentiment for this three act project): https://time.com/6960671/beyonce-black-country-legacy-essay/

this was briefly put on Wikipedia and then removed for having a “non-public” source. But I do think that not everything she shared is a track title (and that’s the reason she didn’t explicitly say “tracklist”)

exactly my thoughts! i remember that interview too and thats why i think i was subconsciously expecting a grander production. jolene is a fantastic song so i still really enjoyed it but i feel THEE yoncè couldve done a little more with it

yes I def thought since in an interview Dolly said she’d love to see someone do to Jolene what Whitney did to IWALY - Beyoncé was gonna do a very “big” version of Jolene.
The “I would’ve shot Jolene” song kinda eats Beyoncé’s a bit tho ngl on levels of gangsta.

just listened to jolene
its good! not as grand as i was expecting it to be and probably sonically level with dollys version. i still enjoyed it though and her voice works well with the track

It's basically common sense but released music is being monetized, so sharing unofficial links that don't bring the artist money can get the site in trouble. Unreleased songs are bad too but the artist isn't monetizing those so they are less likely to pursue action in getting those taken down when they're already being spread everywhere.

may cowboy carter be a reminder for lana that it is acceptable to incorporate hip hop elements on a country album #bringthetrapbops
