Solange’s Terrible Records
I’ve never paid much attention to Solange musically. Then again, I guess I haven’t paid much attention to her at all. But a few weeks ago, that all changed. In case you didn’t know, she’s the little sister of the iconic juggernaut Beyonce Knowles. Considering Beyonce’s massive success with Destiny’s Child and even larger solo endeavors, one could easily see how Solange could get lost in the sauce so-to-speak. Sure, I heard some of the tracks from her Solo Star and Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams CDs. But none of those tracks grabbed me like the ones on True, her most recent release. The EP consists of only 7 songs, but you can really just let it play from beginning to end.
True opens with the first single “Losing You”, which sounds like a carefully syncopated jungle old school rhythm backed by vocals reminiscent of the 80s. In fact, the entire EP has a fresh, but throwback sound all at once. On the very next track, Solange stays true to her rebellious little sister attitude with the explicitly titled “Some Things Never Seem To F$%^in Work”.
