Beyoncé has released the first two tracks from her upcoming album, Act II, and revealed details about it.

In a Verizon Super Bowl commercial that debuted during tonight’s (February 11) game, the celebrity tried a number of “firsts” in an attempt to demonstrate her ability to disrupt the internet provider’s service. “Drop the new music,” she said as the commercial came to a close.

Moments later, a video was posted to Beyoncé’s Instagram, announcing the upcoming release of ‘Act II’. The clip showed her driving a taxi with the license plate “Texas HOLD’EM” as a yodelling song played on the radio. The video continued to show local people gathering in front of a billboard with an illustration of the star and the same words on her license plate.

The superstar also dropped two brand-new singles: “16 Carriages,” which has a slower, softer, but no less country feel, and “Texas Hold ‘Em,” which has a banjo twang. She sings on the latter, “I got love to create / I got art to make.” “They won’t dim my light on this holy night.”

The singer’s new sound confirms fans’ speculations that she was working on a country album. March 29 is when “Act II” will debut.
