it was quite common for the same in house session musicians to back both rnb and country artists. no doubt the beyonce album will end up sounding more like rnb/pop/edm or whatever than a real country album or even alt-country
The songs are OKish, I doubt I will have them on repeat.
That being said - I already like both of these songs more than most of her output over the last decade. Sounds like she's on her way to remembering what a hook/chorus is. They're nice songs. Nothing incredible or life changing, but nice.
The Miranda Lamberts and Leanne Rimes will be fuming when Beyoncé sweeps the Country Music Awards next year
🤗Miranda's one of my favourites. I don't think that she has anything to worry about.
But over here in the UK, she's on course to bag her first number 1 since If I Were A Boy.
I'm still hoping it will grow on me.
Wonder if it will hold out or sink like a stone...
People seem to be going crazy for it! I do really like it and congratulations to her. I do actually prefer 16 Carriages though…I’d go as far as to say that’s one of the best songs she’s done for me. I’m surprised it wasn’t that one that people went crazy for. I’m interested to hear what the album sounds like now.
Texas Hold 'Em has now hit:
It's also predicted to top the charts in Canada. Incredible start.
…and not long after posting that it’s now been confirmed that she’s got the Canada #1 too.

A global hit! 🤩 2024 is shaping up to be one of Beyoncé’s best years.
Will be interesting to see the impact the album has. The country music scene in the U.S seemed very reluctant to support her at first, especially radio, whereas now it’s the complete opposite. She could have a huge hit album on her hands.
I am thinking it's more of a sample and not a cover.
