Beyoncé put her own spin on country with Cowboy Carter, giving us over 20 songs that push boundaries and transcend genres. They’re all unique in their own right, but these five certainly created the biggest splash and got everyone talking after Cowboy Carter hit the shelves.
“Texas Hold ‘Em”
“Texas Hold ‘Em” was released as the first single from Cowboy Carter long before the album itself came out. It gave us a taste of Beyoncé’s new sound and set several major records on the country charts.
“II Most Wanted” ft. Miley Cyrus
Cowboy Carter has given us several A-list collaborations that we can’t enough of, but “II Most Wanted” ft. Miley Cyrus is the best of both worlds and it’s its strongest candidate to hit No. 1.
“Protector”
Speaking of amazing collaborations, “Protector” is one of the most personal songs that Cowboy Carter has in store because it features none other than the singer’s own daughter Rumi Carter.
“Jolene”
Countless artists have covered “Jolene” over the years, but Beyoncé’s take will change the way you look at Dolly Parton’s timeless classic and the story that inspired it.
“Bodyguard”
Cowboy Carter has given us many amazing duets, but it’s also proof that Beyoncé can shine as brightly on her own, while experimenting with different genres, and “Bodyguard” is a case in point.
