Nashville (AFP) - "Twenty-three in Music City / With dreams and high-heeled boots / Singin' for a crowd of blue eyes / Will they want me too?" croons Julie Williams at the Blue Room venue in Nashville. The 26-year-old, who is biracial, is one of many Black female artists carving out space in country music's capital, where predominantly white, male gatekeepers dictate who makes it -- and who doesn't. Megastar Beyonce's highly anticipated country album, out Friday, has cast a spotlight on efforts by Black performers -- a vital part of the genre's history -- to create a more inclusive Nashville. ...

Houston (AFP) - In Beyonce's hometown of Houston fans turned out in full force at a roller rink listening party celebrating the megastar's new country album. The scene Friday night was a jubilant display of support for the 42-year-old Texan, who faced some bigoted criticism when she announced her new project "Cowboy Carter," which was released in full on Friday. Despite the long lineage of Black artists in country music, overwhelmingly white and male gatekeepers of the genre have long vied to rigidly dictate its boundaries. But they were no match for Beyonce, who pressed on and dropped a 27-tr...

New York (AFP) - Fans and critics alike are lavishing praise on "Cowboy Carter," Beyonce's rhinestone-studded, history-rich honky tonk of an album that's rising in the charts after Friday's hotly anticipated release. A rowdy, wide-ranging homage to her southern heritage, the 27-track second act to her "Renaissance" trilogy is a genre-bending triumph that vaunts Black country culture. "No one will mistake this sprawling set for ever following a straight path, or having a remotely dull moment," wrote the critic at entertainment trade publication Variety. "It's almost as if Beyonce was watching ...

Deuxième acte de la trilogie musicale "Renaissance", l'album aux 27 morceaux rend un puissant hommage à la culture country noire, avec une part belle à la dance, soul et au hip-hop.

Beyoncé is back with her new album, ‘ACT II: COWBOY CARTER’, which dropped this morning at midnight. Our writers Theo Farrant and David Mouriquand share their takes. "A deeply personal triumph"In an audacious move, Beyoncé, the reigning Queen of R&B and Pop, saddles up for a 27-track, toe-tapping ride through the heart of country music with her latest offering, 'COWBOY CARTER'. Personally, as someone who generally stays clear of country and western music (despite Lainey Wilson having my heart), I found myself pleasantly surprised on first listen. Right from the uplifting vocal-led opening trac...

New York (AFP) - Beyonce's "Cowboy Carter" is a full-throated ode to her southern roots, a rollicking revue of an album that also deals a vital history lesson on the Black lineage of country music. The 27-track, highly anticipated record out Friday is the second act of her "Renaissance" trilogy, a sonically diverse jamboree flavored with strings and pedal steel guitar. Beyonce has been a versatile showbiz fixture for nearly three decades, but for all the caps she's worn, the Houston-bred megastar's cowboy hat has stayed within reach: Queen Bey has always been country. But even the powerful art...
