Beyoncé Announces New Album And Dropped Two New Singles

Beyoncé announced her new album on Sunday after dropping hints during a Super Bowl ad for Verizon, that the album is arriving. The upcoming album, Act II, is now set to be released on March 29. The news came via a teaser video shared on her Instagram account.

Adding to the excitement, Beyoncé also released two new singles, ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ and ’16 Carriages,’ exclusively on Tidal. Although initially exclusive, these singles are anticipated to hit other streaming platforms post-Super Bowl.

Beyonce – ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’

Her devoted fan base, known as the Bey Hive, has eagerly awaited the follow-up to her Grammy-winning 2022 album, “Renaissance,” which was hailed as the first part of a trilogy project. While “Renaissance” showcased a blend of house and disco vibes. The hints suggest that “Act II” will explore a more country-inspired sound.

Beyoncé teased fans with snippets on Instagram, incorporating elements of the card game Texas hold ’em, hinting at the country album’s musical direction. Beyonce hails from Houston and often draws inspiration from her hometown, occasionally infusing her music with its essence.

Notably, her 2016 album Lemonade featured the country-influenced track Daddy Lessons. The announcement also follows Beyoncé’s conclusion of the “Renaissance World Tour” in October, with the tour film released in theatres in December.

As anticipation builds for “Act II,” fans are eagerly awaiting further details from representatives at Parkwood Entertainment. The release promises to be another musical chartbuster from the iconic artist.
