Producer INK Reveals Beyonce Recorded ‘Cowboy Carter’ Album Before ‘Renaissance’

Published: Saturday 23rd Mar 2024 by Sam

Beyonce

has the BeyHive buzzing ahead of the release of her new album ‘Cowboy Carter.’

Home to global hit ‘Texas Hold ‘Em,’ the set is due to arrive on March 29 via Parkwood Entertainment / Columbia Records.

Serving as the second instalment of Queen Bey’s unique three act arc, the LP functions as the follow-up to 2020’s revered ‘Renaissance.’

Interestingly, a key producer – whose work features on both projects – has confirmed  that Mrs. Carter indeed operates at her own pace and in her own way. Because ‘Cowboy Carter’ was, in actuality, recorded before ‘Renaissance.’

Full story below…

Speaking in a new interview, hitmaker INK (who co-wrote the likes of ‘16 Carriages’ and ‘Alien Superstar’) shared:

“A lot of people don’t know, we actually had this [‘Cowboy Carter’] first. Imagine having this timeless, classic music first and having to wait, and then she came up with Act I.”

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED March 23, 2024

        The ‘Beyoncé’ album remains the fastest selling album by a BLACK FEMALE in history. Also Renaissance Tour outgrossed all Rihanna tours COMBINED.

        #32 GRAMMYS vs 9. 🐝

      • Weezy F BABY Please say da baby March 23, 2024

        None of Beyonce albums won Grammy for AOTY she have not charted longer than SZA or Rihanna albums in history you just can’t admit the truth

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED March 23, 2024

        And unlike them, still has a CAREER 😆 🤣

    • Weezy F BABY Please say da baby March 23, 2024

      It can be the fastest selling album. don’t mean it’s charting longer than SZA and Rihanna … You just don’t want to admit it because they’re brown girls and your mad ..

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED March 23, 2024

        Much like Michael jackson 🐝eyonce can’t win at EVERYTHING. Bey still remains the Most Successful BLACK ARTIST OF ALL TIME 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 (or atleast since the 90s decade).

    • Weezy F BABY Please say da baby March 23, 2024

      Rihanna and SZA are the only Black women in the nearly 78-year history of Billboard’s all-genre album chart to own projects that have charted for over 300 weeks (the equivalent of nearly 6 years).

      While Rih leads the pack with the 410-week stay of her last LP, the 2016-released ‘Anti,’ the ongoing success of SZA’s 2017 debut album, ‘CTRL,’

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED March 23, 2024

        That’s not impressive for YOUNG STREAMING ARTIST. Beyonce was never YOUNG during the streaming era. 😆 🤣

      • What Would Lil Wayne do March 23, 2024

        It is impressive for black female artists. Billboard said

  4. yup! March 23, 2024

    Does it matter? it will suck per usual and her worship and praise team will take to all of social media to defend it. After forcing themselves to like it first.

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED March 23, 2024

      32 Grammys, soon to be 40.

      Maybe yur favs should start making “suck per usual” music.
