• “Ya Ya”

    “Ya Ya” celebrates the Chitlin’ Circuit and the Black artists — Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, The Jackson 5 to name a few — who performed at venues in a segregated America. This genre-bending track is reminiscent of Turner, Beyoncé’s well-documented musical idol, and no one could get the job done quite like Turner’s costumer Bob Mackie. (But for the sake of keeping on the recent collection bandwagon, here’s a few that have a Mackie feel.)

  • “Riiverdance”

    Goodbye, country album. Hello, Beyoncé album. The next four tracks on “Cowboy Carter” blend a little bit of country with a lot of culture. First, with “Riiverdance” utilizing banjo and bass. This section of the album tosses out those beautiful gowns and dives into dance-worthy looks. With some customization, even Ahluwalia’s floor-length dress would make an ideal jumpsuit for this track.

    Continuing on the culture train, “II Hands II Heaven” brings together bass with R&B and a light drum snare. These picks give the queen the freedom to move while “dancin’ in the moonlight” for each tour stop.

  • “Tyrant”

    Image Credit: Danielle Gilliard

    As Parton brings in this track, Beyoncé uses her fingernails as percussion made popular by the country crooner. (The technique can also be heard in the background of “Riiverdance” and throughout “II Hands II Heaven.”) The song combines that with violin and 808s. The student becomes the teacher in these “Tyrant”-esque looks.

  • “Sweet Honey Buckiin'”

    The Texas diva opens up the last full track of the album sampling country turned pop star Patsy Cline’s “I Fall to Pieces.” The crooner’s effortless blending of country, rap and R&B over a Jersey club beat lends itself to outfits fit for a dance break. We’ve come a long way on this rough ride, thanks for saddling up!

  • “Ameriican Requiem” and “Amen”

    We’ve come full circle. For the album’s first track, “Ameriican Requiem,” an old, tattered dress that has clearly seen better days with rips, tears and some mud stains to boot. And by the end of the show, that dress — as well as the notions of what country music sounds like and who can represent the genre — has been course-corrected or as Beyoncé sings “them old ideas are buried here” and the dress is anew. Beautiful and flowing in all its glory. And there we have it. “Amen!”
