Beyoncé Teases Fans With Surprise Features On New Album "Cowboy Carter"

Beyoncé made a big announcement Tuesday dropping the release date for her forthcoming album, "Cowboy Carter," as March 29 and adding a lengthy caption to describe the process that went into making this one. She starts out by thanking everyone for blowing up her two new singles "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages" and goes on to say she's excited to trot out this new era of hers. Bey writes, "This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t. But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive." She also notes she faced criticism when she first broached the country music scene something that was well-documented at the time with her track "Daddy Lessons. Beyoncé says this "I have a few surprises on the album, and have collaborated with some brilliant artists who I deeply respect. I hope that you can hear my heart and soul, and all the love and passion that I poured into every detail and every sound. She finishes by saying "Cowboy Carter" isn't a country album, but rather a Beyoncé album
