New Music: Beyoncé, IDK, Leon Bridges Drop Fresh Bangers

This week’s New Music Friday is headlined by Beyoncé’s album drop, a celebration of her country and southern roots with the 27-track “Cowboy Carter.” The album not only traverses genres and time but also boasts an impressive list of collaborations including Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, and Post Malone, among others. It features a cover of the Beatles’ “Blackbird” and a unique take on Parton’s “Jolene.” Other notable releases include IDK and Joey Bada$$’s reflective track “Denim,” Leon Bridges’ and Carin Leon’s heartbreak anthem “It Was Always You (Siempre Fuiste Tu),” Isaac Dunbar’s dancefloor liberation “American High,” Doechii and JT’s club banger “Alter Ego,” and Big Sean’s lyrically sharp “Precision.”
