Darius Rucker believes Beyonce<\/a>‘s new album is good for country music.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Beyonce recently released her country album<\/p>\n

The 42-year-old star released ‘Cowboy Carter’ in March, and Darius – who pivoted to country music back in 2008 – has now hailed Beyonce<\/a>‘s recent switch to a country-inspired sound.<\/p>\n

He told Us Weekly: “I\u2019m happy for her. I\u2019m happy for the genre.<\/p>\n

“The eyes that she brought to country music went up, and that\u2019s always a good thing when you have more people watching country music.”<\/p>\n

Darius also hopes that other black musicians will follow the same path as Beyonce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nHe explained: “I hope what she\u2019s done translate[s] even more than it already has to more people of colour getting a shot at country music.”<\/p>\n

\nEarlier this month, Mickey Guyton suggested that Beyonce can inspire change for black artists in the country music genre.<\/p>\n

\nMickey believes that ‘Cowboy Carter’ could have a huge, long-lasting impact on the genre.<\/p>\n

\nThe 40-year-old star told the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column: “I think that a lot of DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) boards are closing, and \u2026 that\u2019s across all the entertainment industry. So, I hope her doing this continues the conversation. And there\u2019s a lot of excitement about it, which there should be, and this amazing album that she\u2019s written. So I hope it stays.”<\/p>\n

\nSimilarly, Carlene Carter thinks country music is “lucky” to have Beyonce.<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, Carlene explained: “I loved that she came out with her name as Carter because she’s married to Jay-Z, and I thought, she’s from Texas, she wanted to make a country record, nobody should give her any poo poo about it, you know? But they did and I was like, ‘OK, y’all can just shut the hell up because she is Beyonce and we are lucky to have her even want to be in the vicinity of us.'”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
