Hold your horses: 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.”
“I think she’s recorded ‘Jolene’ and I think it’s probably gonna be on her country album, which I’m very excited about that,” Parton said. “I love her! She’s a beautiful girl and a great singer.”
Cowboy Carter follows Beyoncé’s Act I: Renaissance, which released last summer with 16 tracks. Ahead of the initial album’s debut, the artist shared that it was part of a “three act project” that was “recorded over three years during the pandemic.”
Cowboy Carter will arrive as the second installment in the trilogy on March 29.
