Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’: A Deep Dive Into the Featured Artists and Samples — From Shaboozey to ‘These Boots Are Made for Walkin” and More


A deep dive into Beyoncé's new album 'Cowboy Carter,' from Miley Cyrus and Shaboozey to a cover of the Beatles' 'Blackbird' and more.

Post Malone nabs the first of two high-profile features this year on “Levii’s Jeans” (he’s slated to guest on Taylor Swift’s upcoming album “The Tortured Poets Department,” releasing April 19), while Miley Cyrus lends her vocals to the powerful collab “II Most Wanted.” Beyoncé has previously shown love on record to her other daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, who at nine years old became the second-youngest artist to win a Grammy award for her appearance on 2019’s “Brown Skin Girl.” Alt-country artist Shaboozey stops by for “Spaghettii,” one of the harder hip-hop inflections of “Carter,” which samples the DJ Dedé Mandrake’s Brazilian Funk song “Aquecimento – Vem Vem Vai Vai.” He also features on “Sweet Honey Buckiin’.” A Virginia native, the 28-year-old has released a pair of albums — 2018’s “Lady Wrangler” and 2022’s “Cowboys Live Forever, Outlaws Never Die” — though his most popular song was a collab with Duckwrth entitled “Start a Riot” that was featured on the 2018 soundtrack for “Spider Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”
