Solange Knowles Covers “Stillness is the Move”

Filed Under dirty projectors, solange knowles

So I came across this tasty tidbit on Microphone Memory Emotion this past week. At first I couldn’t believe it, I didn’t even know Solange sang, though often I’m just slow like that, so it’s not saying much. While looking through photos I couldn’t believe how grown up she looked (hello sexy beach shot!), though we’re probably the same age. She was always just Beyoncé‘s kid sis before, I suppose it’s about time she came into her own. Anyway, this song isn’t worlds away from the Dirty Projectors original, but is beautifully sung nonetheless. I think I am indeed more partial to the original, but I’m happy that one of my favorite songs of the year is transcending genres (and with a sick beat nonetheless!)

WHO WE ARE

Dipped in Dollars (D.I.D.) is the brainchild of Chief and Danger. While attending a crazy liberal arts college in Vermont, we realized our mutual love of righteous dance music, art, and the people behind them. D.I.D. exists to share this love with you and hopefully turn you on to something new. More about the brains behind the brawn, here.

This site exists to promote artists, if you hear something you like, think about throwing the artist(s) a few dollars, buy an album, go to a concert, show them you care. If any artists or official people want us to take any of our links down, just shoot us an email and we'll take care of it. Happy Listening!
