Black artists like Beyonce and Shaboozey have put their own spin on country music of late. Now, Snellville girl group The BoykinZ is getting attention after a successful audition in July on “America’s Got Talent.”
The sister quartet is scheduled to appear again on the popular NBC variety show Tuesday.
“It was a dream come true,” said Anale Boykin in a Zoom interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I always imagined us doing it but not actually doing it.”
The crowd immediately adored their confidence, choreography, harmonies and solo turns on their original tune “Fell in Love with a Cowboy.”
Host Terry Crews bestowed upon The BoykinZ a Golden Buzzer, which allowed the group to skip a stage and move straight to the top 44 and quarterfinals. (The other Atlanta act on the show is Atlanta R&B trio CitiLimitz.)
