As if being the first African-American woman to top the US country music chart on the Billboard is not enough, Beyonce is riding a new wave of hype with her new album ‘Cowboy Carter’.
And to celebrate the release of her new music, the R&B singer has starred in what is already proving to be an iconic photoshoot, which will be used as a limited edition album cover.
In this edition of the album, the 42-year-old can be seen smoking a cigarette while posing nude and wearing only a sash with the name “Beyincé” to cover her modesty. The singer, whose full name is Beyonce Knowles-Carter, made a clear reference to her grandmother’s name, Agnéz Beyincé.
The new album will be released on March 29 and there is no doubt it will become one of the hottest album releases of the year in the United States, with Beyonce retaining her status as one of the biggest female artists in the world.
Her new music arrives shortly after she topped the Billboard charts in country music, before climbing to number one in the UK charts for the first time in 14 years with her song ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’.
Beyonce plans concert series at The Sphere
Beyonce broke the news of her new album after Usher headlined the halftime show at Super Bowl LVIII. The ‘Deja Vu’ singer was in the crowd at the game held in Las Vegas alongside Jay-Z to watch the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers battle it out for the NFL Championship title.
Her presence in Las Vegas sparked speculation that she is planning to host a series of shows at The Sphere in Sin City after wrapping up her world tour, which included 56 shows in 39 countries around the world.
It would be no surprise if those shows also sold out as well, with perhaps only Taylor Swift boasting bigger appeal on the global stage. And with a fortune of more than $574million throughout her career, her new album is only going to help her increase her stacks of cash.
