Paul McCartney Reacts to Beyoncé's 'Blackbird' Cover: Why He Is 'Very Proud'


'Cowboy Carter' was released on March 29.

When I saw the footage on the television in the early 60s of the black girls being turned away from school, I found it shocking and I can’t believe that still in these days there are places where this kind of thing is happening right now. Prior to the release of her full-length album, Bey explained that the idea behind Cowboy Carter was born after an unnamed incident"years ago." It features collaborations with Dolly Parton-- and a reimagined version of her 1973 hit, "Jolene" -- as well as Post Malone, Miley Cyrus, Willie Nelson and Linda Martell, among others.
