That is even with the 26-year-old femcee only being around since 2022. 2023 was when she began to gain more ears and eyes on her with her six-song EP EXTRA. Her single with fellow up-and-comer KARRAHBOO in November of last year, “SPLASH BROTHERS,” was also a big deal. Since its release, the record has earned over 990,000 streams on Spotify.

Celebrities, companies and a US politician have celebrated the release of Beyoncé’s highly anticipated new album, Cowboy Carter, on 29 March.
Beyoncé’s eighth studio album, the second in her rumored Renaissance trilogy, is a genre blend of country, pop, funk and more across 27 tracks. The singer seems very comfortable in her current lane; not that she ever came off as anything but secure.
In a Friday press release, Beyoncé shared that the album took more than five years to create and described it as the “best music I’ve ever made”, a chance to create music where “there are no rules”.
The most awarded artist in Grammys history added that she had been partially inspired to create with “real instruments” in the face of increasing artificial intelligence and other digital fixtures. Judging by the reaction from fans, Beyonce has done it again!
“The more I see the world evolving, the more I felt a deeper connection to purity. With artificial intelligence and digital filters and programming, I wanted to go back to real instruments, and I used very old ones,” she said in the press release.
Beyoncé has helped open the door for more black country singers. I hope they continue coming with the heat.
Louis Gossett Jr., the first Black man to win a supporting actor Oscar and an Emmy winner for his role in the seminal TV miniseries “Roots,” has died. He was 87. Gossett’s first cousin Neal L. Gossett told The Associated Press that the actor died in Santa Monica, California. A statement from the family said Gossett died Friday morning. No cause of death was revealed.
Gossett’s cousin remembered a man who walked with Nelson Mandela and who also was a great joke teller, a relative who faced and fought racism with dignity and humor.
“Never mind the awards, never mind the glitz and glamor, the Rolls-Royces and the big houses in Malibu. It’s about the humanity of the people that he stood for,” his cousin said.

Beyoncé has revealed that her Act II album will be titled Cowboy Carter. The chart-topping vocalist revealed the country record’s name on Tuesday, posting an image of a tacked-up saddle with a ribbon boasting its moniker in bold text to her Instagram Story. The post included a link to the artist’s webstore, which is now stocked with CD boxsets featuring limited-edition cover photos of Bey’s face, as well as exclusive vinyls in colors including red, white, blue and black. Notably, the CD boxsets have a bonus track and T-shirts boasting the record’s name. Beyoncé first announced the album on Super Bowl Sunday, quenching fans’ thirst with two new singles: “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ‘Em.” The singer has not revealed further information about the record’s tracklist; however, in a recent interview with Knox News, Dolly Parton did hint that Bey’s countrified body of work would include a rendition of “Jolene.”
