Last night I was jamming to Solange’s gorgeous cover of the Dirty Projectors Stillness Is The Move and found myself wondering if there was any news of her new album yet. A quick Google search uncovered a delightful little interview with New York magazine in which she talked about her indie leanings, plans for her next album sharing her music loves with Beyonce and Jay Z, how Bjork came to hear her cover of Stillness Is The Move! Check out the interview with the far more interesting Knowles sister here.
Watch Solange perform with the Dirty Projectors at the Ace Hotel below & in case you missed it download Under Construction a great track Solange leaked that won’t be on the album.
What a nice little surprise this morning from SOLANGE. In her cover of STILLNESS IS THE MOVE by the DIRTY PROJECTORS she includes a little ERYKAH BADUflavor – sampling BAG LADY (which happens to be one of my favorite tracks ever.) I’m so obsessed with this right now, it’s such a nice slow groove to chill with as we move into the weekend! Erykah and Solange really need to collaborate on something pronto – Camille
I have to say, Solange (or the people around her) is really stepping up the creativity compared to current pop songs and videos. I was hesitant to even listen to anything by her, but i’ve been pleasantly surprised so far.
Here is her newest video, for a track called Sandcastle Disco. Since its Saturday, i’m off to the beach. Hopefully you can make it there, and if not…
