Just yesterday, Beyonce released her groundbreaking RENAISSANCE album, and now it’s almost time to mark its second anniversary in July. She’s staying true to her promise by dropping the second part of the three-part series this Friday (March 29). Lately, she’s been giving us a COWBOY CARTER theme, featuring captivating Western fashion perfect for the summer season. Recently, on Tuesday (March 26), the “Halo” singer shared an Instagram Reel wearing a Canadian tuxedo, set to Sly & The Family Stone’s “Spaced Cowboy.”
Fans of Beyonce, known as the BeyHive, wasted no time in asking for the tracklist. Fortunately, unlike the slow reveal of RENAISSANCE visuals, Beyonce promptly revealed the impressive 27-song lineup for COWBOY CARTER on Wednesday afternoon. Although it’s uncertain if she’ll collaborate with other artists, the previously teased cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” seems to be included in the album. Titles like “DOLLY P” and “WILLIE NELSON SMOKE HOUR” hint at possible appearances by country legends alongside Beyonce, but we’ll have to wait and see. Rumors are also swirling about a potential second collaboration with Travis Scott.
The album will feature singles like “16 CARRIAGES” and “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM,” as well as new tracks such as “TYRANT,” “LEVI’S JEANS,” and “II HANDS II HEAVEN,” among others. The repeated use of double II’s throughout the tracklist is a nod to this being the second part of Beyonce’s trilogy. Take a look below for the full COWBOY CARTER tracklist :
