Maren Morris is Impressed by Beyoncé’s Move to Country Music
Maren Morris is excited for new music from Beyoncé.
The “Bones” singer, known for her outspokenness about issues in country music, reacted to Beyoncé’s tease of a return to the genre with her upcoming Act II album.
“I feel like she’s always been genre-less, but I think the leaning into country elements and sort of reclaiming country music back to Black people because they created the genre is such a statement,” she told E! News on Feb. 13, while promoting a collaboration with Visible Wireless. “Rhiannon Giddens playing banjo on “Texas Hold ‘Em,” which is such an amazing statement in itself.”
She is also looking forward to the entire album, which will be released on March 29.
“Obviously, like most people, I’m so utterly excited to hear the whole album,” she added. “I was listening to ‘16 Carriages’ this morning and just marveling at the production and the lyrics and the vulnerability.”
