Who Ever Would've Guessed Solange Would End Up Being The Best Thing To Come Out of R&B?

I like the fact that she realized that getting into her sister's thing wasn't going to work for her, so she decided to do what I consider a left turn. It's kinda like an alternative R&B type thing. Very "indie" seeming. Like Frank Ocean. I mean just look at their shows and the audience they attract. Low key R&B?

Reminds me of Jody Watley. Is it me or music videos getting really cheap? It looks like it was shot in a closed strip mall. confused

10 years ago when she debuted I would have laughed at her but I've been watching for her all this time and she's blossomed.

I couldn't really feel her before this year's True EP with Blood Orange.

The EP is amazing, after months i still listen to it. Minimalistic instrumentation, nice vocals, the songs sound "different".

Not saying she has to be one, but a lot of these singers (M & F) are just not frontmen/women

Everyone is not going to shine 'out front'.

Some people actually do stand out as an accompaning singer/dancer or back up singer/musician

singing back up or on an album with some rock / pop / r&b / jazz greats

The other songs on the album are forgettable but this song is very sweet. I like the video too.
