NEW MUSIC: SOLANGE – “STILLNESS IS THE MOVE”

November 13th, 2009


♫ Solange – Stillness Is the Move

Solange has been in and out of the studio, while still doing performances all over the world, working on her currently untitled third studio album.

When asked about the direction of the third album, Solange said that the new record will pick up where “This Bird” left off, experimenting with more electronic and down-beat elements. There presently is no release date for the album, but it’s good to hear some of the fruits of Solo’s labor.

It’s doubtful that the new track, “Stillness Is the Move,” a cover of the Dirty Projectors, which sample’s Dr. Dre’s “Xxplosive” (originally sampling Soul Mann & The Brothers’ “Bumpy’s Lament”), will make the album.

    oh no doubt Solo’s album will be good but I can tell she looks up to Erykah with the warpaint and all.. I just wished contained her attitude a little bit.

    Love love love Solange’s artistry. Love the song as well — even tho like #4 the Badu stan in me heard Bag Lady. I just wish I loved Solange’s voice as much.. Not to say she cannot sing, but there is just something about it I do not like.. can’t put my finger on it. Wish her much success tho! This will prob have to grow on me like her voice had to grow on me with the second album.

    At first, the lyrics 2 bag lady kept creeping back into my memory, BUT by the end of the song, they were pretty much gone…It’s safe 2 assume diz will go on her “I Can’t Get Clearance…” Mixtape that she’s been workin on 4ever…*crosses fingers

    The track itself i s HAWWWTTT!!! And i plan on jamming this til i call it a nite!.

    I am absolutely loving Solo’s new style of singing
    Once she realized she didn’t have to live in Bey’s shadow, she made great music
    I just wish I could understand what she’s saying a bit better
    Nonetheless, I am loving Solo these days, get it bish lol

    THANK YOU #20! When I first heard the beat I thought she was biting Erykah but once she started singing I was like I know she’s not biting The Dirty Projectors w/ their faux-nun hipster asses lol. No but seriously I’m now a Projectors fan; I’m more a Florence + The Machine kind of girl. No shade intented to The Dirty Projectors tho….

    I have no idea what Solange is saying in this song and I do not care. One thing I do know is that she has found the world’s best vocal coach and is obviously the star pupil cause her voice is effin perfect on this song. Maaaan shit she singin on this thing! Classic Dr. Dre beat in da back, original but still grrrreat song arrangment, and full use of being able to mixdown in stereo (but not overdone). A+

    That beat is a Dr. Dre track entitled “Xxplosive” off of the album “2001″ dubbed “Chronic 2001″ by many.

    I definitely like the old-skool sample that she decided to throw on here. I hope this can be the first single of a new album to like people know her true sound because I definitely liking on Solange right now. She’s bringing something new to “Mainstream R&B”. She needs the recognition very soon.

    Luv, luv her voice on this track. I wish she didn’t have to live in Bey’s shadow because I think the comparisons only hurt–people don’t see her talent they see Bey’s lil sis. Do your thing Solo!

    ehhhhh

    I can’t help but hear Badu. I love this beat so much I’d probably like any song over it, but it’s cool. Nothing to write home about. Hopefully this isn’t an official single or anything it would be a waste and no one did it like Badu…not even Dr. Dre and it’s his beat. lol!

    i don’t think some ppl get it
    the LYRICS are from DIRTY PROJECTOR’s STILLNESS IS THE MOVE, and their song only samples this beat in the beginning of the song. correct me if i’m wrong, but the rest of the song uses a different beat completely, not even the same melody (at least it doesn’t sound the same to me) so she sampled from both dre and the dirty projectors. idk why erykah is being talked about here b/c she sampled his beat but her lyrics were different so solange didn’t take anything from her

    She sounds good but this is definitely Eyrkah Badu’s “Bag Lady” and she sounds JUST like Beyonce. Sorry couldn’t listen to the whole song.
