Beyoncé a distanza di undici anni dall’uscita dell’album omonimo ha deciso di deliziare i fan con un atto secondo dal titolo Beyoncé Act II che è stato anticipato oggi da due singoli rilasciati in anteprima su Tidal. I due brani si intitolano Texas Hold Em e 16 Carriages. La prima ha sonorità country (mi sa che il prossimo obiettivo sarà un Grammy per quella categoria?) mentre la seconda è una sua classica ballata. Meh.

Beyoncé surprise drops two tracks ‘Texas Hold Em’ and ‘16 Carriages’ on Tidal.

Beyoncé | Texas Hold ‘Em

Beyoncé | 16 Carriages

Sixteen carriages drivin’ away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
Sixteen carriages drivin’ away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight

Fifteen the innocence was gone astray

Had to leave my home at an early age
I saw mama prayin’, I saw daddy grind
All my tender problems, had to leave behind

It’s been umpteenth summers and I’m not in my bed
On the back of the bus and a bunk with the band
Goin’ so hard, gotta choose myself
Undеrpaid and overwhelmed
I might cook, clеan, but still won’t fall
Still workin’ on my life, you know
Only God knows, only God knows
Only God knows

Sixteen carriages drivin’ away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
Sixteen carriages drivin’ away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight

Sixteen dollars, workin’ all day
Ain’t got time to waste, I got art to make
I got love to create on this holy night
They won’t dim my light, all these years I fight

It’s been thirty-eight summers and I’m not in my bed
On the back of the bus and a bunk with the band
Goin’ so hard, now I miss my kids
Overworked and overwhelmed
I might cook clean, but still won’t fall
Still workin’ on my life, you know
Only God knows, only God knows
Only God knows

Sixteen carriages driving away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
Sixteen carriages driving away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all these tears I fight

At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
Had to take care of home at an early age
I saw mama cryin’, I saw daddy lyin’
Had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind
The legacy is the last thing I do
You’ll remember me ’cause we got somethin’ to prove
In your memory, on a highway to truth
Still see your faces when you close your eyes

Sixteen carriages drivin’ away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
