Beyoncé's Remix Of 'Jolene' Gets Dolly Parton's Approval On New 'Cowboy Carter' Album

Beyoncé Remixes Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' on New 'Cowboy Carter' Album It was one of many surprises on Bey's new album "Cowboy Carter" with her track "Jolene" not necessarily being a pure cover of Dolly's iconic song but more so a remix, where she drastically changed the lyrics and shifted the focus over who the song is really about. Dolly's version is quite literally pleading with a woman named Jolene who's portrayed as a beauty who's seducing Dolly's fictional husband Bey did the opposite and fired off warning shots to this "Jolene" and told her to steer clear from her own hubby. Beyonce sings "You’re beautiful, beyond compare // Takes more than beauty and seductive stares // To come between a family and a happy man // Jolene, I'm a woman too // Thе games you play are nothing new // So you don't want no hеat with me, Jolene. Beyonce is going after a particular lady here well, you'd be correct something Dolly herself alludes to in an interlude that comes before the song where she notes that Beyonce's fury is aimed at a fictional woman named Becky, a la "Lemonade.
