Beyonce is releasing a new album on March 29 called Act II. From the sound of the first two tracks, it sounds like a country album.

Her voice rejects twang for a more soulful country intonation. She is not making a parody of country music. She also isn't entering country through its genre tropes.

Also trying this out: Taylor's Early Career (Beyoncé's Version).
