Review: 'My House' was a parting gift from Queen Bey herself following her record-setting 'Renaissance' album cycle, the first in a trilogy she continued with 2024s 'Cowboy Carter'. Landing multiple awards and ten top spots on various 'Best of 2022' lists, the track is a big, brassy, chant-led track featuring the same hallmarks that peppered her 'Homecoming' history-making Coachella performance. Serving as promotion and as the credits sequence, for her theatrical concert film 'Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce'. The track is anthemic and uplifting, a combination of braggadocious flexing and preaching the power of love and healing - it's an infectious hit. On the B-side of this release is an extended intro edit of Beyonce's legendary chart-topping hit 'Single Ladies', celebrating its 16th birthday this year.

Review: Beyonce continues to redefine genres with her latest album, Cowboy Carter. Building on the momentum of her previous releases, she fearlessly ventures into country music territory, infusing it with her signature style and social commentary. The album's opener, 'Ameriican Requiem,' starts strong with its pointed lyrics and references to country music controversies. Throughout the album, Beyonce showcases her vocal strength and versatility, seamlessly blending elements of country, rock, and trap. Tracks like 'II Most Wanted' featuring Miley Cyrus and 'Tyrant' offer dynamic collaborations and infectious beats. Cowboy Carter is a fantastic romp through various styles of pop music. Beyonce's bold approach reaffirms her status as a trailblazing artist, delivering yet another classic album. With its depth, diversity, and undeniable artistry, Cowboy Carter will be an enduring impact on popular culture.

Review: ***B-STOCK: Creasing to corner of outer sleeve but otherwise in excellent condition***


Beyonce has nerve shied away from being bold. Her Cowboy Carter album is a testament to that because who saw her fusing country and r&b? The unique album undoubtedly showcased her unparalleled versatility as it explored themes of love, resilience, and self-discovery against a backdrop of twangy guitars, soulful melodies, and powerful storytelling. Each track highlights Bey's vocal prowess and ability to transcend genres and styles from heartfelt ballads to upbeat anthems. The production blends organic and contemporary elements to make for a soundscape that's both nostalgic and innovative.

Review: Beyonce's influence has long since extended beyond music with her iconic style making waves in fashion for many years, and now she reaches outside her usual millieu once more. Her eighth critically acclaimed full length Cowboy Carter (Blonde Hair Edition) which comes here on limited gatefold translucent red vinyl double vinyl, is about culture, legacy, and makes for a critical addition to the American songbook. The album elevates and redefines music, challenging accepted false norms about Americana culture while honouring pioneers in country, rock, classical, and opera. This deep dive into dance music celebrates its creators and those who lived in joy despite being made to feel like outlier at the time.

Review: Beyonce's Cowboy Carter marks a departure from her typical genre-hopping approach, focusing specifically on country music while still infusing it with her signature style. Through tracks like 'Blackbiird,' Beyonce pays homage to the past while celebrating the contributions of Black artists to the genre, shedding light on trailblazers like Linda Martell. Despite its country focus, Beyonce's hip-hop and pop sensibilities shine through, resulting in a sprawling and ambitious album that explores themes of authenticity, roots, and legacy. Tracks like 'Just for Fun' and '16 Carriages' showcase Beyonce's storytelling and a glimpse into her interiority and the complexities of pop stardom. Cowboy Carter seamlessly blends traditional country sounds with contemporary elements, creating a unique sonic experience that transcends boundaries.
