“Blackbiird”
Starting off with “Blackbiird” — we’re skipping “Ameriican Requiem” for reasons that will become discussed later — we envision a literal take on the title in the form of feathers and wings or a figurative showing of a planted seed that’s developing into grass and florals. Beyoncé’s recent dive into country has had a growing effect on current Black country artists, many of whom are featured on “Cowboy Carter.” In the event the song’s featured artists — Tanner Addell, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts and Brittney Spencer — pop out in one or more of the cities, we’ve selected some threads for them as well.
