Fans are buzzing over the release of the latest two country songs by Beyoncé. Let’s find out more about the song “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM“, released with an official visualizer.
Beyoncé is well-revered around the world as the pop icon and activist who has reigned in the music industry for the past decade and still captivating her fans with more songs. Embracing her individual musical skills and Black musical heritage, the singer-songwriter is a role model for everyone. This time artist has decided to make a different musical take through the latest release of her ‘Renaissance: Act II’ which is currently buzzing among the fans. Beyoncé is pouring down a hefty dose of country music through this second act and that is reflected vividly through the tracks “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM“ and ‘16 Carriages’.
2022’s Renaissance offered a powerful musical experience with dance music which shed ample light on the colored queer artists who helped to build the community of house music. The sequel, especially the track “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM“ offers a tribute to the Black roots of country music. While a lot of people are still wondering whether country music can be a part of dance music, Beyoncé calls everyone on the dance floor through this new song that carries a swift and energetic country groove. While this song does not fall into the flashy pop genre, it is also not particularly a classic as it is comprised of the artist’s sheer individuality. Well-revered multi-instrumentalist and folk musician Rhiannon Giddens did an amazing job with the musical arrangement that does not start with a fiddle guitar but offers the subtlety of a banjo. Co-producer Raphael Saadiq also helped to bring the pieces together by joining the parallel flavors of country and soul music.
This tribute to the Black roots of country music is definitely adding more dynamic to Beyoncé’s musical journey and she wonderfully executed the project with her brilliant vocal skills. Although this song is quite captivating along with banjo, the ho-hey stomp-clap, and other authentic elements of country; it simply does not add up to the billionaire pop star everybody knows. This typical style of country and grassroots is originally working-class music for folks who worked rigorously to strive and to make a living. While the flavors are present there along with the musical skills, it still feels different than usual. This song also reminds me of her country dabbling in the 2016 project ‘Daddy Lessons’. The “Woo!”s and “Hey!”s of “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM“ can make you dance but when it comes to creating an intriguing music project, the song is not up to the mark.
