Beyoncé released her latest album, Cowboy Carter, on Friday, and the album has been loved by fans and well-received by critics.
Credits for the album had yet to be uploaded when it was released on DSP, but today, we finally have all the details about the writers, producers, and other contributors on the polarizing LP. As expected, Beyoncé worked with some regular collaborators like Raphael Saadiq, The-Dream and Jay-Z, but there were also other newcomers she collaborated with for the first time, including Shabu Shaboozey, Tanner Adell and Brittney Spencer.
It’s absolutely no surprise that Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z, penned a whopping six compositions on the album. Watch the full production and writing credits for “Cowboy Carter” below.
The album is expected to sell 350,000 in its first week.
