Beyoncé has decided we’re ready for more Renaissance. After teasing a tease during a Super Bowl ad, Beyoncé announced that Renaissance Act II is coming March 29. Shortly after the announcement, two tracks dropped on Tidal: the album’s first track (“Texas Hold ’Emâ€), and the last, “16 Carriages.†Both songs are serving country in a God-honoring way. “Texas Hold ’Em†features banjo plucking and violin from Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens. And “16 Carriages†goes from acoustic twang to a burning “This is going to go so hard in a trailer†chorus. The rollout for Renaissance Act II started with Beyoncé’s cowboy hat at the 2024 Grammys (or with Reneigh, depending on your point of view). She spent most of last year touring Act I and filming and promoting the Renaissance tour doc. Will there be another concert film with independent distribution? We can only hope.
