"II Most Wanted," Beyonce & Miley Cyrus (2024)

After two spins I admire Cowboy Carter more than anything. Bold Move. Like the lady says, "this isn't a country album, it's a Beyonce album." She's an unstoppable Blue Wave and looks good in a cowboy hat. And I do quite like this song, and if country radio doesn't that's maybe because they're sexist and racist but definitely because they have lousy taste. Bey and Miley's voices wind around each other, lovingly, urgently, in a sweet country-tinged duet; tinged as in "Wild Horses" or "If It Makes You Happy." Miley sounds ancient. All Stevie Nick's shawls rain from the sky, Bey and Miley dancing and singing together, they are forever and ever for each other. In the right moment tears flow.
