Beyonce’s new album arrives this Friday, and fans can’t wait to get a feel of the project, having already had a good time with trendy single Texas Hold ‘Em.
The singer has revealed the tracklist for the album titled Cowboy Carter, which includes a cover of Dolly Parton’s heartbreak classic Jolene.
The project has previously released singles 16 Carriages and Texas Hold ’Em in addition to a guest appearance from country legend, Willie Nelson, on a song titled Smoke Hour.
Beyonce recently shared a vintage graphic of the tracklist on her social media with titles like Spaghetti, The Linda Martell Show, Bodyguard, Most Wanted, Just for Fun, Dolly P, and others featuring prominently.
It would be recalled that Dolly Parton was one of the personalities who commended Beyonce following the release of Texas Hold ‘Em early in February.
