Beyoncé’s ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ Headed To Country Radio

Beyoncé

Global superstar Beyoncé will ship her new song “Texas Hold ‘Em” to country radio, with Columbia Nashville promoting the track. The song goes to radio Tuesday, Feb. 20.

Beyoncé announced during Sunday’s Super Bowl that her next album, Act II—the second installment of her Renaissance project—will be country. She teased the new music with the release of two singles, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.”

This isn’t the first time Beyoncé has dipped her toes into country music. The Texas native and 32-time Grammy winner collaborated with The Chicks in 2016 on a version of her song “Daddy Lessons.” The four even performed it at the 50th annual CMA Awards that year. “Daddy Lessons” was not actively worked at country radio, but peaked at No. 41 on the Hot 100.

Beyoncé’s country Act II is slated to release on March 29 via Columbia and her own Parkwood Entertainment.
