Beyonce’s Kid Sister Is More Indie Than You

Text by Patrick Collins

 

Solange Knowles (remember her?) just sucker-punched all stupid hipsters who think they’re underground for listening to The Dirty Projectors. With her cover of "Stillness of the Move,” she turns up the R&B that frontman, Longstreth, has been alluding to for years. Hipsters are gonna have a cool crisis when their beloved indie single blows up on Hot 97 and suburban tweens start having The Dirty Projectors appreciation parties. But guess what, y’all? This cover is amazing.

 

With that looping guitar hook sampled from Soul Mann & The Brothers—made famous by Dr. Dre and Erykah Badu—and a thumping bassline, this song was made for 15-inch subwoofers. The rare cover that brings out every single strong point in the original and exploits them to perfection.

Well, my first thought is “can’t she write her own stuff ?” and then I listened to the original first to see how much it was going to be trashed. Then I listened to Solange’s interpetation….......well…...that girl can hit it. Would prefer her own work, but damn, she can sing. Let see if she can do it live….

Oh I get it, this is an attempt to have a relevant blog post. I read this in six hundred other places prior to this.

Didn’t Solange come to one of your parties or something?

I think she’s equally good as her sister, only that she needs more exposure and live performances to improve

She was nominated for her Soul Train Award nomination for Best New Artist in 2009.
After this she will beat her sister :-)

Ed Hardy is not a human. It’s like some kinda annoying computer program.
