Shaboozey on Reaching His Tipping Point With ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy),’ Killing It at Stagecoach and Sharing a Spaghetti-Western Sensibility With Beyoncé
Shaboozey, who has a country/hip-hop smash with 'A Bar Song (Tipsy),' talks about chart success, playing Stagecoach and appearing on Beyoncé's album.
He’s such an artist and dreamer and a visionary when it comes to his sets, so to be able to have Diplo down there and I’m kind up here in this weird shipwreck theme, Jurassic Park world, to just stand up there and look down… It was definitely a Stagecoach to remember. Indeed, one of the two “Cowboy Carter” tracks that Shaboozey appears on is called “Spaghettii,” and the Western part of old-school country-and-Western is a recurring emphasis on his May 31 album for Empire, “Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going.” So I love like connecting the bridge and showing people like, these are the same concepts in hip-hop and country-Western music, especially Waylon Jennings and Marty Robbins and things like that.” He also cites artists from Buck Owens to Woody Guthrie as influences.
