Christmas before time. The pop star with 32 Grammys spoils her fans with an exclusive book. Before announcing her tour or even a reissue, Beyoncé transposes her album Cowboy Carter into a book of never before revealed photos. Soon to be at the top of wishlists and already out of stock, this object of desire is stirring up the crowds.
Read an album with hundreds of millions of plays. Announced in a graphic video teaser from the Instagram account of Parkwood EntertainmentBeyoncé's production company, an event photographic book around the pop star's latest album is gradually revealed. Cowboy Carterhis eighth studio album and revolutionary country momentum, stands out as a dialogue between Western America and black artists.
With 27 titres gracefully refined in the space of five years, with memorable featurings with Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus, this cry from the heart of the artist from Texas deconstructs this ambivalent relationship, from which she once felt excluded. Nine months after the album's release, Beyoncé introduced the Cowboy Carter Art Bookfor a rereading in images.
At the heart of “Cowboy Carter” imagery
On the front cover of his unpublished book, Queen B reconnects with Cowboy Carterhis alter ego, with a lasso. The country icon got off his steed to pose better, wearing his tricolor American mayor's scarf, a canvas of pride, bleached afro, bust adorned with turquoise stones. A key gem of western folklore, from bolo ties to cowboy belts, which the artist transforms into tooth grills, an accessory inscribed in the hip-hop culture of the 1980s, from New York to Atlanta and the current Dirty South.
An invitation to decode the myth of the Wild West heroby restoring its indigenous, Mexican but also African-American origins. A conversation in the same vein as Pharrell Williams' Louis Vuitton fall-winter 2024 men's collection, where the Virginia-born designer introduced modern western silhouettes, with the intention of appreciation, not appropriation.
The work Cowboy Carter Art Book by Beyoncé stands out as a collector's item, enriching its monumental musical and cultural echo in 136 pages of unique photos.
