Following her foray into country music with the “Cowboy Carter” album, Beyoncé’s influence now extends into the realm of classic pop and R&B songs receiving a country twist from emerging Black artists in the genre.
Apple Music’s ‘Nashville Sessions’ series showcases “Beyoncé Covered,” featuring renditions of hits like “1+1,” “Drunk in Love,” “Irreplaceable,” “Sandcastles,” “II Most Wanted,” and “Halo” by artists including Brittney Spencer, Tanner Adell, Joy Oladokun, BRELAND, and others.
Tiera Kennedy, a featured artist on the six-song playlist, remarked to Apple Music, “Beyoncé has opened a door that’s going to be really hard to close.”
