i want to start this off by saying i am not some music mogul i can’t spot references i don’t know how to produce music but i do like to review it when it makes me feel something and this album did that fully
my first listen to this album was met with me wondering when i was gonna like burst out crying like i was on the verge of tears the entire first listen
i also wanted to highlight my like thoughts when seeing the artists hearing that tiera kennedy and tanner addell featured was utter happiness when i was still on twitter tanner tweeted something saying beyoncé i would love to be featured on this album and people were kind of poking her and something i love about beyoncé is she does these things that make her seem so connected to the online world when i saw tanners tweet i was like why couldn’t she be on the album? like that would make sense i want to shout both her and tiera out i love there music a lot! i think i need to deep dive jnto a lot of artists who are featured on cowboy carter but something that intrigued me about a lot of the artists featured was there relationship to traditional music genres
i think about miley cyrus who i fucking love who i think while in the past it may have teetered the lines of cultural appropriation to me personally i considered it cultural appreciation
to me with plastic hearts she jumped in head first with rock and that album is perfect and i think it deserved more praise i recommend everyone to to listen to it and in my opinion i feel like beyoncé picked artists who are here for looking at genres as outdated and being able to switch and take inspiration and for people who could be considered the black sheep in their respective genres to me that is miley to me that is post malone
i feel like as much as post malone doesn’t face criticism in a way he always will for being primarily in rap and hip hop i had heard a clip of a country es que song swirling around on twitter and i was so amused with roots in texas like bey post malone has jumped around a little bit too and it’s very inspiring to me as well to me beyonce doing a cover/ newer version of jolene is like the inverse of what happened with luke combs and tracy champán with fast car last year and i hope that dolly and beyonce can hopefully take the stage together soon maybe at the CMA’s maybe not
willie jones from x factor to magcon to this like it’d awesome to see people from my generation people who started out so young in the industry like beyonce, and ryan, and miley and willie and to see them now it’s awesome
i feel like i also learn so many things from beyonces music through references that i’m not aware of like the linda martell show and with dolly parton obviously someone with so much pull in the country music space who has used her fame to uplift and help so many people i remember how much she helped with the vaccine during covid and just how cool she is how she talks about other artists like whitney houston her mannerisms everything it’s so girly and fun and just herself i feel like i love hyperfeminine people who don’t stray from it even how it can be discussed in pop culture or by men it’s inspiring to girls who love pink and big hair and makeup and looking like dolls like i love it i love dolly parton so much i think it’s the the confidence in the sexuality on renaissance beyonce used sound bites from people like TS madison and big freedia and honed in on the importance of uplifting black people im the house music genre and i think with using the little willie nelson radio esque intros and similar ones from dolly parton with references to lemonade like i just love it and i wonder how act iii will do the same i always think of my favorite music album review it was done by kingsley on youtube about pink print by nicki minaj and he looked at each track and said his favorite verse or lyric so i wanted to do the same with some of mine!!!
