On Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé’s genre-bending, sprawling opus, she is compelling us to be curious about the Black history of country music. It’s not a reclamation, it’s a reeducation. If this was her intention, the album is a colossal success, but there is more to learn.

voice kicks in at around the 16-minute mark. It’s the first time we hear from someone who isn’t Beyoncé. Through

To me we are the most beautiful creatures in the whole world: Black people.” It’s a quote from a TV interview, and it continues throughout the scene. “My job is to somehow make them curious enough, persuade them by hook or crook, to get more aware of themselves and where they came from and what they are into and what is already there, just to bring it out. This is what compels me to compel them, and I will do it by whatever means necessary.

When Beyoncé shows us the work she did to dive deep into country music’s Black ass past through the references on references in each track, the symbolism of every song, and the efforts to propel rising Black country stars, I refuse to dismiss this album as just a product of petty revenge or just as the urge to be embraced by the white establishment. It’s probably a bit of both, but mostly, it’s a culmination of the creativity of one of pop’s biggest music nerds.
