Hinting some clues during the Grammys, a Verizon Super Bowl ad, Beyoncé released 2 new singles under country's genre! "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages" are on upcoming album Act II, coming out 3/29. It's debatable how country sounding these songs are compared to modern or retro country. I recap where Beyoncé left off with 2022's RENAISSANCE album, discuss "Texas Hold 'Em", "16 Carriages", and its already debut charting history.
