° Solange Knowles Covers “Stillness is the Move” °

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!)

    Premiere: San Gabriel - "Montaña de Tormenta"

    “Montaña de Tormenta” is one of the wilder tracks from San Gabriel‘s phenomenal debut on Time No Place, juxtaposing cumbia basslines with rude-boy samples and a high pitched vocal squeal that rises above its tropical melancholia. Volfe is out digitally right now, and you should also pick up the vinyl when it’s out on June 26.
