One of the world’s biggest superstars, Beyonce, has announced she will release a new country album.

The multi-Grammy winning artist already has an estimated net worth of $800-million.

Experts and fans view Beyoncé’s foray into the genre as a reclamation and homage to the legacy of Black Americans within country music and culture – a history that has largely gone unrecognised in some mainstream music circles, according to Reuters.

Texas native and singer-songwriter Denitia was deeply moved when she heard the first notes of Beyoncé’s hit country song, “Texas Hold ‘Em.”

“The story that’s been told about country music is that it’s like this authentically white, nostalgic music, when in fact, Black, Indigenous, Latinx contributions are really important to the sound”, said Denitia
