A rowdy, wide-ranging homage to her southern heritage, Beyonce's 27-track second act to her 'Renaissance' trilogy is a genre-bending triumph that vaunts Black country culture.
Beyoncé accepts the Best Dance/Electronic Music Album award for “Renaissance” onstage during the 65th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 05, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.NEW YORK, United States — 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.
"But it's not just a matter of what Beyonce can do for country music; it's what her concept of country can do for her, in expanding her musical empire and even her already well-honed sense of self. It's a lot." Add in another blockbuster tour like she did for Act I — the "Beyonce bump" literally was blamed for raising Sweden's inflation rate, and bolstered local economies wherever it rolled into town — and Queen Bey will do-si-do straight to the bank.
Vice President Kamala Harris, who is Black and South Asian, lauded Beyonce for "reminding us to never feel confined to other people's perspective of what our lane is. You have redefined a genre and reclaimed country music's Black roots."Amid the hoopla, Beyonce offers touching portraits of motherhood, celebrations of sex and love, and even a murder revenge fantasy.
