Beyoncé Delivers Lux New ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ Acapella, Instrumental Versions


Beyoncé released two new offerings of her single "Texas Hold ‘Em” including an acapella and instrumental version.

On Wednesday, the star released two new offerings of her single “Texas Hold ‘Em” including an acapella and instrumental version. As Rolling Stone ‘s Larisha Paul noted, “As Beyoncé begins to raise the curtain on her forthcoming album Act II, out March 29, she’s tightening her grip on country music and setting her own stories against the backdrop of steel guitars, banjos, and western swing.” Paul points out that the star’s country roots have always been present in her music and performances, and highlights several examples including Lemonade ‘s country cut “Daddy Lessons” and the time Beyoncé returned to Houston in 2001 riding into NRG Stadium on the back of a palomino horse. “It’s great for her to go this route,” Robert Randolph, who plays banjo on “Texas Hold ‘Em,” told Rolling Stone.
