As Beyoncé gears up for the release of her next solo album, “Cowboy Carter,” she teased fans on Tuesday with the new record’s cover, which, like her previous album, shows her sitting on a horse. But unlike on that record, “Renaissance,” this time she’s in full rodeo gear, riding a white stallion, kicking off a new era of her three-act project. It has been nearly two years since she dropped “Renaissance,” which birthed a world tour and inspired an array of sequined and chrome-heavy looks among fans internationally. If Act I, as she called that album, paid homage to disco and house music, Act II is sure to be her official entry into country music. In advance of the album’s release, on March 29, members of The New York Times’s Styles desk took a close look at the album cover, and what it represents for Black American contribution to country music. Gina Cherelus How do we feel about the album cover? Off rip, I love how she and the horse have matching hair. I wonder if it’s the same one from “Renaissance” or a new member of the stable. Either way, they’re both striking. Melissa Guerrero I always appreciate visual consistency! Which is something we’re definitely seeing in these first two acts, so far. Marie Solis Since “Renaissance,” she’s clearly been trying to reinscribe images of Black women into the history of the cowboys and the West, which is a quintessential part of the American mythology — and a terrain ripe for patriotic and nationalist symbols. Cherelus Especially during an election year. It all feels very intentional. Solis I’m also so struck by her gaze. She’s confronting the viewer. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD ALBUM Frank Rojas Beyoncé is looking directly into the camera with her face forward and it really feels like a reclaiming. Her hair is in the air and she is taking charge. Cherelus Holding the flag in one hand and the horse’s reins in the other, she’s positioned with authority. And in heels! Rojas How do you all feel about the hint of the American flag in the corner? Cherelus She’s reminding listeners and fans that her entry into this genre isn’t as random as many might assume. Country music is Black music. Solis I think her saying this is not a country album but “a ‘Beyoncé’ album” calls back to the gate-keeping she faced from country fans when she released “Daddy Lessons” in 2016. But it also speaks to her particular style of image making; she’s creating her own visual language and lore, even if she’s relying on these recognizable symbols to do it. And what’s more all-American than Beyoncé? Guerrero A Redditor pointed out that the galloping horse evokes the 19th-century “Horse in Motion” photographs, by Eadweard Muybridge, which were prominently featured in Jordan Peele’s “Nope” (another piece of media that nods to Black cowboys, but more specifically in Hollywood).
