And she’s being clear about her messaging: “This ain’t a Country album. This is a ‘Beyoncé’ album.”Posting a 10-day countdown on her Instagram page and website Tuesday, the “Texas Hold ’Em” and “16 Carriages” singer shared what appeared to be the album cover art (her as pageant queen-inspired cowgirl riding a white horse while holding an American flag) and detailed insight…

It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not…

There’s a video of Tierra Whack filmed when she was 15, dressed in dull pink knitwear on the corner of a Philadelphia street, surrounded by older guys smoking weed. “Rapping is my destiny / Especially for these hysterectomies who be testing me / You deaf to me / You’re not hearing what I’m sharing like an uncaring parent …” Words pour out of her in an a cappella freestyle to camera, more performance poetry than rap, voice morphing from one persona to another – one of those mic-drop, jaw-drop moments where you see a new…

Becky with the good hair, meet Jolene. A cover or sample of “Jolene” may be on the way from Beyoncé, at least according to Dolly Parton. During a recent interview with Tennessee outlet Knox News, Parton revealed that Queen Bey had recorded a rendition of her iconic song — and it might even be featured on Beyoncé’s Act II. “I think she’s recorded ‘Jolene’ and I think it’s probably gonna be on her country album, which I’m very excited about that,” Parton said. “I love her!” she added. “She’s a beautiful…

A correction followed.The correction that long-term shareholders must dearly wish for is that Hipgnosis had never come to the stock market in the first place in 2018. Against a starting…
