BeyHive! In this episode, Shelby and Laura are joined by special guest, fellow podcaster, and BeyHive member, Sequoia Holmes from the Black People Love Paramore podcast. We review Beyoncé's 8th studio album--Cowboy Carter. Tune in for a laughter-filled episode with praise for Queen Bey's risk-taking and spotlighting of overlooked Black artists and thoughtful critiques of the album's length and genre experimentation.
We discuss why Renaissance set such a high bar, analyze why Beyoncé decided to make a country album, highlight our favorite songs, like 16 Carriages, Blackbird, and Tyrant, explain why the album may have been too long, dissect all of the album's racist backlash, guess what Act iii in the trilogy will be, and debate whether releasing an album in a new genre is a green flag.
