In 1973, Dolly Parton begged another woman not to steal her husband, but in the cover of her classic ‘Jolene’, Beyoncé takes a much tougher approach. Because an open reference to the adultery of her husband, Jay-Z, is never a bad advertisement for her new record.
‘Act II: Cowboy Carter’, Beyoncé’s new album, was released on Friday morning. Includes on the playlist: a cover of ‘Jolene’, the Dolly Parton classic from 1973. In the original, Jolene begs another woman to “please don’t take her husband away”, but fifty years later this is reflected in the feminist icon Beyoncé is a lot less submissive. For example, some lyrics were rewritten to “I warn you: don’t touch my man” and “Find your own man”.
A good listener also understands that Beyoncé refers to her husband Jay-Z’s adultery. The two have been married since 2008, even though the man has had some problems since then.
Although other women should not imagine anything, because Beyoncé warns: “Don’t take a risk because you think it is possible. You are beautiful, but it takes more than beauty and seductive looks to come between a happy man and his family. The games you play are nothing new, you don’t want to argue with me. We have been deeply in love for twenty years, I raised that man and his children. I know that man better than he knows himself.”
