The Meaning Behind Beyonce’s Blackbird Cover on Cowboy Carter

Beyoncé’s eighth studio album Cowboy Carter, the second act of her three-part project, released at midnight on Friday. One of the most striking songs of its 27 tracks is a soulful cover of the Beatles’ “Blackbird,” which features a quartet of Black country singers: Tanner Adell, Tiera Kennedy, Brittney Spencer and Reyna Roberts. The inclusion of “Blackbird” (styled as “Blackbiird” on Cowboy Carter, in keeping with the act ii theme) may come as a surprise to some; for one, in recent years, Beyoncé has rarely done covers of other artists’ songs.
