The song also peaked within the top ten of the charts in other various countries.

Background

edit

Beyoncé was born and raised in Houston, Texas, where the city's cowboy heritage and zydeco music played a role in her upbringing.[1][2] She listened to country music from an early age, particularly from her paternal grandfather.[3] She attended the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo every year with her family wearing western clothing, and later performed at the Rodeo four times between 2001 and 2007.[4][5] Throughout her career, Beyoncé has celebrated her Southern roots, such as implementing elements of country music on B'Day (2006), performing a country version of "Irreplaceable" with Sugarland in 2007, celebrating her country and Southern identity on "Formation" (2016), releasing the country track "Daddy Lessons" from Lemonade (2016) and later performing the song with The Chicks at the 2016 CMA Awards, spotlighting Southern culture during her 2018 Coachella performance, and centering her pride about her Southern country roots on "Black Parade" (2020).[5][6][7][8] In 2021, Beyoncé released the Ivy Park x Adidas "Rodeo" clothing line inspired by "the overlooked history of the American Black cowboy"; Beyoncé commented on the collection saying: "Many of them were originally called cowhands, who experienced great discrimination and were often forced to work with the worst, most temperamental horses. They took their talents and formed the Soul Circuit. Through time, these Black rodeos showcased incredible performers and helped us reclaim our place in Western history and culture."[9]

Release

edit

During Super Bowl LVIII, Beyoncé starred in a commercial with actor Tony Hale for Verizon.[10] Her appearance was teased by the company in the days leading up to the Super Bowl with teaser trailers featuring her sixth and seventh studio albums, Lemonade and Renaissance (2022).[11][12] At the end of the commercial, which sees the singer attempt to "break the Internet" in various ways, Beyoncé says, "Okay, they are ready. Drop the new music" leading to media speculation of the second act of her ongoing album trilogy.[13]

Beyoncé then took to her Instagram account and announced her eighth studio album, tentatively titled Act II, later revealed to be titled Cowboy Carter, with a release date of March 29, 2024, through a teaser featuring an unidentified woman starting up a car with a license plate that read "Texas Hold 'Em".[14] As she drives up an empty road, she passes by a group of men staring at a billboard. The billboard features the same slogan as the license plate. It includes a cutout of Beyoncé in a seductive pose.[14] As the Super Bowl continued, she released two tracks from the album to streaming services and digital download: "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages".[15]

Composition

edit

Named after the poker game, "Texas Hold 'Em" is an uptempo country pop and western inspired soul song. It is in the key of D major and feature elements of folk music.[16][17][18] It features a "rapid-plucked" banjo and acoustic guitar introduction that moves into a "stomping" beat.[19] Chris Willman of Variety likened the song to "Daddy Lessons" for its "playful" sound and danceability,[20] while Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian found whispers of the Jonas Brothers "What a Man Gotta Do" (2020) in its melody.[21]

Beyoncé wrote "Texas Hold 'Em" with Nathan Ferraro, Elizabeth Boland, Megan Bülow, and Raphael Saadiq; she produced it with Killah B and Nathan Ferraro.[22] Rhiannon Giddens, an American musician and scholar advocating for the reclamation of country music instruments by Black musicians, contributed by playing banjo and viola on the song.[23] following its release, Giddens commented on the song, writing:[24]

My only hope is that it might lead a few more intrepid folks into the exciting history of the banjo. I used to say many times as soon as Beyoncé puts the banjo on a track my job is done. Well, I didn't expect the banjo to be mine.

Critical reception

edit

In a review for Variety, Chris Willman described "Texas Hold 'Em" as a "genre-embracing and -transcending" track that acts as a radical venture into "unexplored territory", with Beyoncé reclaiming country music as a Black genre. Willman noted that instead of being "genre tourism", Beyoncé is taking a serious and authentic approach to her embrace of country music, exercising her "natural right" to reach back into her roots as a Texas native.[25] The Guardian's Ben Beaumont-Thomas admired the "rootsy and authentically country" vocal and instrumental arrangements, as well as how Rhiannon Giddens's inclusion on the song highlighted her work to deepen listeners' understanding of how instruments such as the banjo was originated by Black musicians.[21]

In an article for Time, Taylor Crumpton wrote that Beyoncé's presence in country music signals the "birth of a new era" in which performers "who have continued to carry on the legacy of country's music heart and soul" are celebrated. Crumpton also commented on how, rather than molding herself to the will of the gatekeepers of country music, Beyoncé "has been country for the entirety of her life," growing up in a community that saw a "cultural exchange between Black, Tejano, and Indigenous communities."[26] Craig Jenkins for Vulture praised how "thornily" the song "plays dealer with a stack of country clichés like wisdom earned in card games and dive bars but pumps them full of lyrics that would make a Grand Ole Opry audience sweat."[27]

Writing for Consequence, Mary Siroky proclaimed "Texas Hold 'Em" as her early song of the summer while lauding Beyoncé's "inimitable" vocal performance.[28] Kyle Denis of Billboard also praised Beyoncé's "impassioned vocal performance", as well as the "slick harmonies" and powerful instrumentation on the track.[29] Will Hodgkinson of The Times wrote that the track "sure is fine", praising the "ultra-catchy melody" and describing it as a soon-to-be wedding classic.[30]

In his negative review, Chris Richards of The Washington Post wrote that the song felt "dull, dry, unimaginative, unnecessary, unconfident and uncool."[31] Pitchfork's Nadine Smith appreciated how the song brought the "parallel worlds" of country and soul music together through its collaborators, but criticized Beyoncé's attempts at "9-to-5 relatability" and "car commercial"-esque production.[16]

Rolling Stone placed the song at #192 on its ranking of the 200 Greatest Country Songs of All Time.[32]

Impact

edit

I was so hyped to see a song like “Texas Hold ’Em” gain worldwide acceptance. Even more exciting was how it helped reinvigorate the country genre across music, fashion, art, and culture, and introduced the world to so much great talent like Shaboozey, Tanner Adell, Willie Jones, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, and Reyna Roberts.

Black artists in country music

edit

"Beyoncé preserves the best of country past and evolves us into a country future that we have never seen... It's such a full-circle moment for me that I almost want to cry. I wanted to see a Black woman get to the top of the charts, and now I can retire."

—Alice Randall, the first Black woman to write a number-one song on the country charts[40]

With the release of "Texas Hold 'Em", Beyoncé was seen as reclaiming country music and bringing it back to its Black roots.[41] It also sparked conversations on the inclusion of Black artists within the country genre.[42] The BBC's Daisy Woodward wrote that Beyoncé's embrace of country music "galvanises" the reclamation of western culture by those who have felt excluded by it and subverts the traditional image of cowboys.[43] American author and country songwriter Alice Randall, in an interview for The Washington Post, affirmed that Beyoncé "is spotlighting and building on a profound tradition" which started with Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music by Ray Charles, stressing that "[Beyoncé] is going to take it even further if the things she's already done in country is any indication," even if Charles wasn't prized by the music genre at the time.[44]

NBC News's Emi Tuyetnhi Tran wrote that "Texas Hold 'Em" has the potential to redefine what it means to be a country artist "in the cultural consciousness."[45] In an analysis for American Songwriter, Thom Donovan reported that "country music's embrace of hip-hop was the natural progression" and "Texas Hold 'Em" is "more than a cheeky metaphor; it's part of the larger arc of Beyoncé's work celebrating the legacy of Black artists". As the singer did with the first act, Donovan wrote that "Beyoncé reminds listeners that country music is another kind of dance music."[46]

The release of the song spotlighted Black musicians in the country music space and boosted their listenership.[26][47] Black female country musicians saw a significant increase in streams due to the song, such as Reyna Roberts (250%), Rissi Palmer (110%), Tanner Adell (188%) and K. Michelle (185%). Linda Martell, the first commercially successful Black female country artist and the first to play the Grand Ole Opry, saw a 275% increase in streams.[47] Other musicians who saw an increase in demand include Adia Victoria, Amri Unplugged, Brittney Spencer, Mickey Guyton, Rhiannon Giddens, and Sacha. Black-led country organizations such as the Black Opry also received a significant increase in followers.[26] NPR's Amanda Marie Martínez also said that the song has highlighted and boosted the profile of Black country artists. The song, Martínez writes, has revealed the "strong demand" for country music made by Black artists and a "growing community" of Black country fans.[48] In an article for The Nashville Tennessean, Andrea Williams explained how Beyoncé has opened the door for others in country music and proved that Black songwriters, producers, and musicians belong in the genre. Williams wrote that Black people are generally "shut out of country music's creation" and that they "have been waiting for the opportunity to take part in the genre their forefathers helped build, to not be told they're too urban for Nashville studios." With "Texas Hold 'Em", Williams writes, Beyoncé celebrates Black country musicians, proving they are "country enough" and allowing them to receive their due credit and remuneration.[49]

Popularity and accessibility of country music

edit

"Texas Hold 'Em" marked a cultural shift for country music and boosted its accessibility to a wider audience, according to CBS News.[50] SiriusXM host Mike Muse told Good Morning America that the song is sparking a "global conversation" and "social discourse" on country music and increasing public interest in the genre.[51] Beyoncé's country music will "open the floodgates" for other country musicians, according to BBC News.[52] Country artist Kezia Gill said that Beyoncé's presence will make the genre "accessible to everyone" and "bring in a whole generation" of new listeners. Roisin O'Connor, music editor at The Independent, said that the new track is "a tipping point" for country music, spreading the genre to new audiences.[52] Texas Monthly's Dan Solomon wrote that the song has had a "dramatic" cultural impact, with Beyoncé "remaking country radio in her image."[53]

Country radio

edit

Country radio managers shared their excitement about the song bringing new listeners. Mike Levine of Go Country 105 said that "anything to make country more approachable is amazing, so it's fantastic," while 93Q Country program manager Travis Moon said it is "exciting not just for country radio, but for the artist and the legacy that she's done in her entire career." Moon noted that instead of just fitting a certain "vibe", "Texas Hold 'Em" has a "fresh" and "exciting" new sound, saying, "Just the way the song is constructed, the vocals are amazing, the instrumentation's fantastic. It fits the vibe of what we're doing on this radio station."[54]

Programmers at Cumulus Media's country stations had a call where they spoke "enthusiastically" about the song, with chief content officer Brian Philips describing it as "a gift". Philips told Variety that it "adds a completely unforeseen, unimagined new angle to country radio... We have 55 major country stations and it's very hard to get them to agree on anything. But everybody at country wants to play it." iHeartMedia chief programming officer and president Tom Poleman spoke of his excitement to play the song on iHeartRadio stations, describing Beyoncé as an "innovator" who "continues to push the creative boundaries in music." SiriusXM senior director of country programming Johnny Chiang also shared his excitement to add the track to Pandora country stations, telling Variety, "It's a good song, and a legit modern country song. And she's iconic, so it's a no brainer....nothing but good for our format."[55]

Response from country artists

edit

Country icon Dolly Parton recognized the impact that "Texas Hold 'Em" has had, praising Beyoncé as "fantastic and beautiful".[56] Parton continued to laud Beyoncé on social media, posting an image that read: "I'm a big fan of Beyoncé and very excited that she's done a country album. So congratulations on your Billboard Hot Country number one single. Can't wait to hear the full album!"[57] Country singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson shared her excitement about Beyoncé's crossover into country, telling Billboard: "I love it. The more the merrier. Country music is about storytelling and Beyoncé knows how to tell a story, so I think it's awesome and it's awesome for the country music genre. Everybody wants to feel at home and country music makes you feel at home."[58] Hootie & the Blowfish's Darius Rucker expressed himself as a fan of Beyoncé's embrace of country and praised the track as "a great song".[59] Country singer-songwriter Maren Morris described the song as "such a statement," praising Beyoncé's "reclaiming of country music back to Black people."[60]

Controversy

edit

A country radio station courted controversy after rejecting a request to play "Texas Hold 'Em", igniting a wider debate on Black musicians' place within country music, despite the influence of African-Americans in its origins.[61] "Texas Hold 'Em" was sent to U.S. pop, Hot AC, rhythmic, urban AC, and country radio stations, but in its first 24 hours of release, only 8 out of 150 radio stations considered for Country Airplay played the song.[62] A petition that attributed this to "racism, revisionist history, and gatekeeping"[63] and demanding country radio stations play the song had amassed over 28,000 signatures within a month.[64]

On February 13, 2024, a listener requested Oklahoma S.C.O.R.E. country station KYKC play "Texas Hold 'Em". The general manager Roger Harris replied, writing, "We do not play Beyoncé on KYKC as we are a country music station."[65] The answer went viral and caused a stir on social media against country music stations, leading Beyoncé's fans to flood the radio station with requests to play the song; it started trending on Twitter with #Beyonceiscountry.[66][67][68] After adding the song to radio rotation, a representative from S.C.O.R.E. responded to racism and boycott accusations against the singer's music with a statement: "It has to chart a little bit higher for us to add it. But we love Beyoncé here. We play her on our [other top 40 and adult hits stations] but we're not playing her on our country station yet because it just came out."[69] The station further clarified its position, saying it was unaware the song had a country sound until staff members heard it, and subsequently added it to their playlist.[70]

Variety reported that Sony Music, owner of Columbia Records who hold a contract with Beyonce's company Parkwood Entertainment, "did not immediately respond to requests for comment about any plans to promote the song at country radio."[71] After the media attention, CMT added "Texas Hold 'Em" to its branded streaming stations.[62] In the afternoon of the same day, after the impact on social media, Billboard confirmed that Columbia officially sent the song to country radio stations, pointing out that country stations generally do not broadcast songs not supported by the labels.[62]

Comparison to Franklin theme song

edit

On February 18, 2024, a TikTok video by user Ashleigh Aedan pointed out that the song has strong similarities to the theme song to the Canadian children's television series Franklin, amassing over 3.5 million views.[72] A later video by hosts at radio station CFBT-FM interpolated the two songs to striking effect.[73] Musicologist Claire McLeish pointed out that both songs have similar plucked openings, are in the same key and have instruments in similar tunings, which are enough for people to notice similarities; however she also mentioned that "they don't sound alike in a way that would cause any legal problems."[72] Subsequently, Bruce Cockburn, the composer of the Franklin theme song, said in a statement to People magazine that "I can't claim to have had any part in writing it" and that "The rhythmic feel is similar to my theme song for the Franklin TV series, but to my ears that's where the similarity stops. 'Texas Hold 'Em' is her song."[74]
