Beyonce shared her thoughts on her new album Cowboy Carter on Friday morning.
The Texas-born star said her first country album is the best she has ever made.
‘The joy of creating music is that there are no rules,’ said Beyonce. ‘The more I see the world evolving the more I felt a deeper connection to purity.’
The mother of three added that with artificial intelligence and digital filters and programming she ‘wanted to go back to real instruments, and I used very old ones.
‘I didn’t want some layers of instruments like strings, especially guitars, and organs perfectly in tune.’
She added that she wanted some of the songs to be ‘raw’ and she ‘leaned into folk.’
The star ended with: ‘All the sounds were so organic and human, everyday things like the wind, snaps and even the sound of birds and chickens, the sounds of nature,’ she said.

The press release reveals the inspiration behind the album and how each ‘song is its own version of a reimagined Western film.’
Some of the films that lent inspiration include The Hateful Eight, Space Cowboys, The Harder They Fall, and the recent Oscar-nominated movie Killers of the Flower Moon.
The album is considered ‘a declarative frequency and academic shift, as the world prepares to shift again, that redefines and rebuilds what is Country and Americana, and who gets to be included.’
Beyoncé’s eighth studio album landed across nine different genres on US music charts including Pop, Hot AC, Country, Rhythmic, Urban, and R&B, and making history with Beyoncé becoming the first Black female artist to reach No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart and No. 1 on the Hot 100 Chart with a Country song.
It also spent four weeks at the top of the UK music charts.
The album is about genres, all of them, while deeply rooted in Country.
