Apple Music is wrapping up Black Music Month with special country covers by new artists. Beyoncé’s past collaborators like Brittney Spencer, Tanner Adell, and Tiera Kennedy joined with BRELAND, Joy Oladokun, and Madeline Edwards. They put a country twist on Beyoncé’s songs for Apple Music’s Nashville Sessions.

These artists were selected to honor Beyoncé’s latest release, “COWBOY CARTER,” and to recognize her significant influence on the music industry. Each artist chose a different era of Beyoncé’s music to reinterpret, adding their unique country style to her well-known hits. This collaboration celebrates Beyoncé’s impact and highlights the versatility of her music across different genres.

Each artist covered a specific Beyoncé track, showcasing their individual styles and interpretations. Brittney Spencer chose “Irreplaceable” from the “B’Day” album, while Madeline Edwards covered “Halo” from “I Am… Sasha Fierce.” Tiera Kennedy selected “1+1” from “4,” Tanner Adell put her spin on “Drunk In Love” from “Beyoncé,” BRELAND chose “Sandcastles” from “Lemonade,” and Joy Oladokun covered the duet “II MOST WANTED” from “COWBOY CARTER.”

For these artists, participating in this project is deeply personal and significant. BRELAND emphasized the importance of self-expression in his choice of song, while Spencer felt inspired by the news of Beyoncé’s work on a country album. Oladokun, a first-generation Nigerian and queer Black woman, expressed pride in representing diversity within country music. Madeline Edwards, who has a background rooted in both California and Texas, appreciates contributing to the diverse stories that shape the South.

The Apple Music Nashville Sessions: Beyoncé Covered collection is now available to stream exclusively on Apple Music. Each artist’s unique take on Beyoncé’s music not only pays tribute to her legacy but also showcases the evolving landscape of country music and its ability to encompass a wide range of voices and stories.
