Beyoncé will release her new album "Cowboy Carter" on March 29, promoted by the hit "Texas Hold 'Em."

On March 29, Beyoncé plans to surprise the pop music world with the release of her new album "Cowboy Carter." This work, following her previous album "Renaissance," marks a turning point as the star exchanges disco-house sounds for country accents, as heard in the successful single "Texas Hold'Em" already acclaimed with over 178 million streams on Spotify.

Approaching this release, Beyoncé unveiled the official album cover, showing her perched on a horse, holding the American flag. In a heartfelt message, she expresses her honor at being the first black woman to top the country charts: "This wouldn't have been possible without the incredible support of each of you. My hope is that in the future, mentioning an artist's skin color, associated with any genre of music, will no longer be relevant."

While remaining vague, the singer reveals that this album stems from a challenging experience: "I've been working on this album for five years. It was born after an experience I had years ago where I didn't feel welcomed."

Beyoncé also expressed her joy at bridging musical genres: "It's so heartwarming to see how music can unite people worldwide, while amplifying the voices of some who have dedicated their lives to educating us about musical history."

In response to the criticism she received for exploring country music, she explains that these attacks pushed her to exceed boundaries: "This 'Act II' is the result of a challenge I took on, and I took my time to blend genres to create my album."

While rumors circulate about a possible collaboration with Taylor Swift or a cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene" on the album, Beyoncé promises surprises: "I've collaborated with some brilliant artists whom I deeply respect. I hope you can hear my heart and soul in it, as well as all the love and passion I've put into every detail and sense."

Describing this record as a sequel to "Renaissance," Beyoncé hopes to offer fans a true journey: "This isn't a country album, it's a Beyoncé album! It's Act II of 'Cowboy Carter,' and I'm proud to share it with everyone."
