♫ Solange – Stillness Is the Move
♫ ALTERNATE LINK ♫
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.











Love SOLANGE!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!
<3
I liked that, she sounds a lot like Bey on this. Im glad she is not completely selling out to pop music
NICE TRACK!
I couldn’t go thru the whole thing because I just keep think Bag Lady you got to much stuff… her voice sounds good though
GOOOO Solange… I love it from the first oooo. This is my shit.
Solange makes great music. I can’t wait for the album!
Interesting…But this beat has been sampled so many times.
I’ll give her next effort a try.
@4 I agree, I wish it was a different beat from orginial Erykah. But I still like it
Not bad, I kinds like it! Is this high notes thing her new THING, I mean I saw her perform live on this youtube video and she was doing those high notes thing…
I don’t like this @ all…2 thumbs down
@ 2 Yeah she does kinnd sound like bee….BUT Im definitely fellin her WAY more….
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 her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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 LOVE IT AND SHE DOES KIND OF SOUND LIKE HER SISTER WONDERFUL SISTER BEYONCE BUT WE KNOW ITS SOLANGE LOVE SOLANGE- SOL-ANGEL AND THE HADLEY ST. DREAMS WAS A VERY GOOD ALBUM HIT DEM HIGH NOTES SOLANGE….
i heart solange!
go solange!!! she sounds like kelly on this one!!!
go head solange i love dis record!
u always get my money…
ya’ll need to check your fucking facts. this song is a cover by the dirty projectors. solange didn’t write this song.
I heart Solange…I’m sure this album will be great. I hope her style doesn’t change just to sell albums. She’s awesome! That is all.
This is hotttttttttttttttttt. Love Solange. Will support and buy the ablum. Solange has grown so much in her music and voice. Take note Rihanna. See LeToya Solange songs aren’t boring. Solange sounds like her sisters, Beyonce and Kelly.
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
wow, she is getting better
loved her last cd
still hearing “i decided” and “sandcastle”
I had to comment again!!! I love love love this song. Love love love me some solo and I will be buying this album!!!!!!!
LOVE Solanage’s version but ya can’t beat the original remake
Erykah Badu sure did her thing on that song…ALL TIME CLASSIC!
Too bad she crazy now….
But Solange pulled this 2getha and her vocal range is FIYAH!
Beyonce lil’ sis on the come up…i see u girl!
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….
You know some songs you just don’t touch at all, Bag Lady is one of them…..but I still love SoLo!
I meant *not a fan* not “now a fan* lol.
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+

Response:
That beat is a Dr. Dre track entitled “Xxplosive” off of the album “2001″ dubbed “Chronic 2001″ by many.
…wow, i really like this
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.
This song is FIRE!!! She just made me want to listen to Erykah!!!
# 26 Erykah was the orginal remake Dr. Dre and i believe a few other remade it b4 correct me if im wrong sumbody. Loved the song Solo!!

You know some songs you just don’t touch at all, Bag Lady is one of them…..but I still love SoLo!
Man i agree i love her too, but i love my Badu !!an it wouldnt b right if she was singin over T.O.N.Y ya kno
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!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this track!!! Her vocals are so on point! Love Solo!!!
Solange is sooooo slept on but she will have longivity and put in a group like Sade, Maxwell, Ms Badu status…. where she will not have to compete with the poppy shit. Sol ‘angle and the hadly st dream is a classic and this shit is HOTTTTTT I love her

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
I love Solo’s style, I like her wayyy better than I do Beyonce nowadays. Go Solo!
btw the original with the dirty projectors is sooo much better. i stan for that version
The music sounds like E.Badu and the vocals sound like Kelly rowland..

LOVE IT!!!! Solange is the truth…I loved her last album..I was alone in that, LOL!!! but I really really like her….GO SOLO
Is she a crane?
I’m still loving the song T.O.N.Y, go head Solo do your thang!
feelin solange her last album was crack she has a decent ear for music
That second commenter needs somebody to kick the S*** out of him/her, what an ignorant remark
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.
LOVE IT!!!! Solange little girl has heart she deeper then what she looks like you go girl!! i am looking forward to the album!!
LOVE IT! real smooth and cool track! I can picture me listening to it while having a puff, puff, pass moment!
Ok I’m the BIGGEST Badu Fan… BUT some of you youngins have to be stand corrected! lol
Dr.Dre sampled it…… THEN Badu….. & now Solange.
“Xplosive” was the shit
BAG LADY…. U GONE HURT YO BACK
CARRYING ALL THEM BAGS LIKE THAT
LOL LOL LOL ….
I AGREE TOO. SHE SOUNDS JUST LIKE HER BIG SIS!!!
Loves It!! I like Babu’s version better but it’s still a good rendition.
My gurl Solange never disappoints! All the haters need to wake up and open their ears! Your fans will continue to support you! I love you SOLO!
