Beyoncé’s Country Album ‘Cowboy Carter’ Also Showcases Her Opera Skills
Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' features a famous Italian aria on album cut "Daughter."
Cowboy Carter sees Beyoncé exploring the country genre, with notable guests like Willie Nelson, but it is also an opportunity for her to show off her operatic skill. The acoustic guitar-led track tells a melodramatic, violent tale, with lines like “Now I ripped your dress and you’re all black and blue/ Look what you made me do.” It references Christian imagery, from rosaries to chapels, before Beyoncé launches an impressive rendition of “Caro Mio Ben,” which was written by Tommaso Giordani for a London concert in the 1700s. Cowboy Carter features collaborations with Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Tanner Adell, Willie Nelson, and more, and includes a cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.”
