The samples and interpolations on Beyonce's 'Cowboy Carter' album.

With the release of her eighth solo studio album, Cowboy Carter, on Friday (March 29), Queen Bey added yet another culturally immersive record to her illustrious catalog. Across the album’s 27 tracks, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer square dances her way across a sprawling soundscape that incorporates samples, interpolations and production motifs that nod to country, ’70s rock, trap, house, Brazilian funk, opera, blues, gospel, R&B and pop. Beyoncé, Martell and Shaboozey built this zany country-rap hybrid off a sample of the beat from Brazilian funk artist O Mandrake’s “Aquecimento Das Danadas”(with DJ Xaropinho).
