The first reviews are in for Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s latest album, Cowboy Carter<\/a>, a country inspired record that is the follow-up to her 2022 album Renaissance.<\/p>\n

The 42-year-old singer announced back in 2022 that she had recorded a trilogy of albums, with Renaissance and Cowboy Carter being the first and second projects, and the third yet to be unveiled.<\/p>\n

As she explained: \u201cThis three act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic. A time to be still, but also a time I found to the the most creative.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a feature from Willie Nelson and a cover of Dolly Parton\u2019s Jolene, the album marks a change in genre for the artist, who has now become the first Black woman to top the US Hot 100 with a country song<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, what are the critics saying about Cowboy Carter?<\/p>\n
