album Beyoncé - 'COWBOY CARTER'

[abeille]

Breaking my ATRL hiatus to say that literally everything about this album is sublime — the vocals, the songwriting, the storytelling, the production, the concept, the message, the VOCALS… also, I know people didn't love the messaging behind her Jolene rendition, and I get that, but in the context of the album, which draws heavily from outlaw country in parts, it actually doesn't come across as super serious at at all. Between the groundbreaking success and the acclaim, this has to be one of the most unprecedented runs in music history. So glad to have stanned this woman for as long as I can remember. This is the finest work in her groundbreaking 27 year long career — a culmination of all her artistry —and deserves all the accolades it can possibly get.

When she mixes Alligator Tears with this classic on tour...

 

[Burn]

This ain't Calabasas

We don't need highways
We can take backroads
Never been riding baby?

Step in that stirrup
Hop on my saddle

II HANDS II HEAVEN might be the best song she's ever recorded.

It kinda shocked me on the first listen tbh but then Bey is "naturally" very loud/clear whereas Miley has a whole other "tone" if that makes sense ? Miley would have sounded way too loud imo if they put her vocals on the same level as Bey's because of that "country" thing in her voice

Okay good to see i'm not the only one! Yeah maybe that's why they lowered Miley's voice, i get what you mean

I simply can't believe that the second half of this album exists. The entire album is immaculate but the run starting with Just For Fun is godlike.

What do we think spotify numbers will be like tomorrow?  @KOMH

I'm thinking north of 50M. Hopefully she can show stability 

[Burqa]

i still wish the album was called REQUIIEM 

cowboy carter is only iconic because it's beyonce and it was gonna be iconic regardless of how good of a title it was (see: lemonade)

I'm going to listen to the vinyl tomorrow..  I wonder if I'll like the flow a bit better from Daughter to Alligator Tears minus spaghetti.  Seems like it'll work better

 

Not excited that Flamenco, and Ya Ya are absent

[Elusive Chanteuse]

The opera part of daughter is taking me out this tonight. SO good

[Burn]

Bey is so funny for getting Dolly on the intro to TYRANT.

A beautiful review:

I love Blackbird for all the reason people said but I love it so much for invoking the Trios albums by Dolly, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris.

Ryan Tedder retweeted the Miley fan account.  This may not be true.

When the credits come out and Solange wrote Flamenco and Desert Eagle

 

they both remind me so much of ha

[Rotunda]

I feel like usually with tiktok-era albums it's very clear which 1-2 songs are gonna dominate the app, but I've seen a lot of varied discussion on TikTok so far for CC.

Same. 
 

the two I've seen most though are Bodyguard and Riiverdance 

[liammmmacbtw]

i'm sorry why did her site say the CD has an exclusive track when in reality it doesn't??

right away you could tell riiverdance would do well on tiktok but I'm surprised bodyguard has been as well. I was expecting tyrant

[Lose My Breath]

Y'all think she's hiding the credits for TikTok? I would assume UMG knows what's theirs though
