COWBOY CARTER

COWBOY CARTER, Beyoncé's 2024 album, moves into country, folk and Americana while drawing on blues and contemporary R&B. It pairs classic country instrumentation such as acoustic guitar, pedal steel and banjo with modern production and soulful vocal arrangements, and mixes intimate storytelling and Southern-rooted themes with R&B phrasing. The album is characterized by its genre-blurring sound and by centering Black Southern musical traditions within a pop and R&B context.
