The captivating new album from Beyoncé will be unveiled on March 29th, igniting the music world with a thrilling announcement on her website and social media platforms, as well as in a captivating Verizon advertisement. This latest musical offering serves as the second installment of her critically acclaimed 2022 Renaissance album, which has long been whispered about as a trilogy in the making. As part of the revelation, two seductive tracks, "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages," were released on Tidal, tantalizing fans with a preview of the upcoming masterpiece.
In the Verizon advertisement, Beyoncé graced the screen at a lemonade stand, a nod to her 2016 album of the same name, while playful variations of her name like "Barbey" (a wink to Barbie) and "BOTUS" (hinting at her potential as the first female president) added to the intrigue. Meanwhile, videos posted on her website and Instagram teased "Act II" alongside the eagerly awaited release date of March 29th.
This video exudes a captivating country vibe, kicking off with a car's license plate reading "HOLD'EM" zooming down a dusty road. The soundtrack is a medley of songs, as if someone is flipping through country music stations on the radio, including a yodeling tune and Chuck Berry's "Maybelline." It then segues into a country-flavored song sung by Beyoncé, her voice resonating with the lyrics, "Say Texas, ain't no hold 'em, lay your cards down down down down." The video also showcases a billboard featuring Beyoncé waving, with several men admiring the sight.
Beyoncé, a proud Houston native, joined her family, including husband Jay-Z, at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas on Sunday to witness the thrilling matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. This new album, as part of the speculated trilogy, has long been anticipated by fans, who have been convinced that it would embrace a country music style, and it seems their predictions are about to be fulfilled.
