COWBOY CARTER (DIDN'T KNOW BEYONCÉ COULD SING LIKE THIS..)

Beyoncé uses her albums to tell a story. It’s like watching a movie. You wouldn’t want to come in 1/4 of the way through, leave and then come back to watch the end or have people to tell you the best part and then go in just to watch that part of the movie. It’s weird, because I didn’t realize that until I watched someone react to her entire Lemonade album recently. Having said all that, let me give you an overview of the movie that is Cowboy Carter: This whole album is in response to how she was treated at CMA. American Requiem is telling them about themselves. She researched and it took over 5 years for her to develop this album. The album is full of history and reclaiming music that black people/ slaves started, but were kicked out of once it became popular. Blackbird was written by Paul McCartny to give black women/girls hope during the Civil Rights movement . He saw how they were being treated. That’s why all the singers on the song are black women. The others are four black female country singers. Let’s just point out that Country radio has an issue with playing black artists so Beyoncé told everyone about her new venture during the Super Bowl then dropped two country songs. The Bey Hive activated and most country stations played her music. But to top it off, her album is presented as it’s own radio station with country legends presenting her music. This Album was meant to be Act I. This was Beyoncé’s response to how she was treated at the CMA. The requiem funeral procession was trying to let us know that Country Music was rooted and started by blacks. If you look into the history, it started by people putting on black face for minstrel music making fun of the slaves with their banjos. Then people who are credited with starting country, came to black street artists to learn their craft. Once it became big, black people were pushed aside and they started gate keeping the genre. Same thing happened with rock & roll, jazz, blues, and many of the genres that are considered to have been started in America. Thus, Beyoncé is reclaiming all of the music that we’ve been kicked out of that we helped create. It’s why this album delves into all those genres and ends with her buckin breaking down walls and asking if we can hear her now. Then she says that we are the ones who have to clean ourselves of our father’s sins to end the funeral procession .

You HAVE to do “Daughter” when she breaks into OPERA, Blackbird, and Tyrant.

Y’all rly do have to listen to the album in its entirety. I know we’re used to the culture of singles but Queen Bey makes albums that tell a cohesive story👌🏽 Cowboy Carter is a Revolutionary Masterpiece!! That being said, you guys and your enthusiasm for music and Beyoncé is always fun to watch!! Cowboy Carter is soul food☺️

You should listen to the album in its entirty from beginning to end. No skips. Just as the Queen intended. Its a full story. Nobody does albums like Beyoncé. Renaissance and Lemonade were masterpieces and Cowboy Carter will get legendary status as well.

Thank you for this reaction!!! This entire album was FIREEEE!!! She was sanging DOWN on every song but for yall - I would recommend DAUGHTER bc she actually sings opera and yall will fall out, BODYGUARD, II HANDS II HEAVEN, & AMERICAN REQUIEM are also particularly vocal heavy! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I love they way y'all react to, appreciate, and go over every little detail of vocals, instrumentation, runs, riffs, etc. I always say "it's the little things..." and you both catch them and react how they make you feel. ...so awesome!!! 🥰

ya’ll need to heard american requiem and daughter!!!!!!

I'm so glad to see US appreciating Beyonce for the gift that she is. Since her Black is King album, she's been sending us and the music we created love letters. We need to listen to her with sophisticated ears. She's not cranking out generic singles, she's creating solid bodies of artistic and culturally relevant brilliance. Bey is doing all of this for THE CULTURE and we need to be heavy handed in the way that we support her.

SO fun! Probably my fave reactors, both of y'all have great musicality. We need the full album reaction! I peeped all the same references as you did when I first listened haha
