Genres are a funny little concept, aren’t they?

That musing from country music pioneer Linda Martell is the intro to track 12 on Cowboy Carter, Beyonce’s country-inspired, second Renaissance act and an apt understanding of the innovative project’s scope.

“SPAGHETTI”, produced by Swizz Beats, is neither country nor trap but a beautiful blend of the two. Steadied by a twang’d out O Mandrake sample, the pioneer in her own right launches into quick-hitting bravado spanning references to Marvel and her husband only to continue bringing the lyrical heat with a Shaboozey-assisted verse.

On paper, it shouldn’t work. But I’ll let Linda explain again why it does…

In theory, they have a simple definition that’s easy to understand. But in practice, well, some may feel confined.
