Beyoncé went down memory lane recalling the times she dreaded as the music icon, Dolly Parton’s upgraded version of Jolene hit the chords. The latest country record from American superstar Beyoncé, titled Cowboy Carter, sees her delving into personal narratives once again, notably addressing the mystery woman she previously mentioned in her track Sorry, where rumors of infidelity in her marriage to Jay-Z were discussed.
In a tasteful move, Beyoncé, who recently scored a chart-topping hit with the single Texas Hold ’Em, enlisted the legendary Parton to add depth to her storytelling. According to Mirror, Parton makes an appearance on the 27-track record, referencing lyrics from her iconic 1973 song Jolene.
With Parton’s gracious permission, Beyoncé has skillfully reimagined Jolene on her new record, infusing it with her trademark fire and intensity. While Parton’s rendition was more subdued, Beyoncé’s version exudes fierceness, with her delivery carrying a hint of snarl.
