Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s <\/strong>latest album,\u00a0<\/span>Cowboy Carter<\/span><\/em>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em>features her interpretation of The Beatles<\/strong>\u00a0classic \u201cBlackbird,\u201d and it turns out she took more than just inspiration from the band.<\/span><\/p>\n

Variety<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/a> has confirmed that the song,\u00a0retitled\u00a0\u201cBlackbiird\u201d for\u00a0Bey’s album, includes acoustic guitar and foot tapping by Paul McCartney<\/strong>, taken from the song\u2019s original\u00a0backing track.<\/span><\/p>\n

Credits for the\u00a0<\/span>Cowboy Carter<\/span><\/em> were not\u00a0shared until\u00a0after the album’s\u00a0official\u00a0release on Friday, March 29, and it did list McCartney as playing guitar, but a rep for the two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has now confirmed that guitar contribution isn\u2019t new.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many reviewers have noted that it’s especially fitting that Bey recorded a cover of “Blackbird” given that McCartney has said the song was inspired by the U.S. Civil Rights Movement and in particular, the struggle of Black women.<\/span><\/p>\n

So far, McCartney has not commented\u00a0on Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s cover, which also features backing vocals by four Black country artists:\u00a0Tanner Adell<\/strong>, Tiera Kennedy<\/strong>, Reyna Roberts<\/strong> and Brittney Spencer<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Blackbird” originally appeared on The Beatles’ self-titled 1968 double album, which is commonly known as\u00a0<\/span>The White Album<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n
