Beyoncé Takes the Hoedown to New Orleans

One particular issue about Beyoncé — she’s gonna make it about Louisiana. The creole banjee cowboy dropped “Texas Maintain ’Em (Pony Up) Remix” on April 4, trading the first 2nd verse’s banjos and whoops for some homegrown New Orleans bounce. For those people of us who cannot keep up with the line dance at the hoedown, Ms. Carter reported, Here’s some hip-hop beats for y’all to shake ass on the dance ground. There is new lyrics, as well. The original model normally takes shelter in whiskey as tornadoes whip past. “Pony Up,” by distinction, channels all that pressure into a blurry bender. “Let’s get weekend wasted,” she croons. “Might as properly just toss it all / And pony up, bitch, really do not hold back again on me / It’s a rodeo, we gon’ do-si-do / Broke me in and then you choose me dwelling, huh.” She even updates the outro’s lyrics to spherical out the remix. “Pony up and salute your city / Chasin’ our sins absent, way brown,” Beyoncé endorses. With all this talk of whiskey, I hope she has some electrolytes and Tylenol useful for when the track probable climbs the charts next the release of Cowboy Carter and the new remix.
