By Maggy DONALDSON New York (AFP) - Beyoncé, reine mondiale du R'n'B et de la pop, dégaine son premier album étiqueté musique country, nourri par son Texas natal et mettant en lumière l'influence afro-américaine dans ce genre populaire à l'image très conservatrice. La chanteuse afro-américaine, également actrice et femme d'affaires sort vendredi minuit (04H00 GMT) "Cowboy Carter", acte II de sa trilogie "Renaissance". Née à Houston d'une mère de Louisiane et d'un père de l'Alabama, Beyoncé, 42 ans, est devenue fin février, avant même la sortie de l'album, la première chanteuse noire à classer ...

New York (AFP) - Beyonce has been a showbiz fixture for nearly three decades, shapeshifting from girl group lead and pop empress to Hollywood actor and business mogul. 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. Now she's firmly entering her yeehaw era: "Cowboy Carter," the second act of her "Renaissance" project, is set to drop Friday at midnight (0400 GMT). From the vocal harmonies of Destiny's Child to the outlaw twang of 2016's "Daddy Lessons," Beyonce has long paid homage to her southern heritage, inco...

Schon die Ankündigung war überraschend. In einem Werbespot während der TV-Übertragung des Super Bowls im Februar verriet Superstar Beyoncé, dass sie ein neues Album herausbringen werde.

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. ...

At least five country musicians, including "God Bless the USA" performer Lee Greenwood, pulled out of the NRA's annual convention that opened Friday in Texas. "American Pie" singer-songwriter Don McLean also withdrew. Their initial billing highlights the close links between country music and the gun-supporting right in the United States, but experts say their withdrawal is indicativ...
