Last Friday Solange dropped a surprise album…well kind of a surprise she made a press release earlier that week. I was hesitant because I didn’t see anything about it being released to Spotify on that first day, but I was beyond excited when it was. I’ve always loved Solange’s style and sound. She has a light tone and tends to make music that’s outside the box, not conforming to any one genre or style. I took a look at the tracklist and was a bit shocked. There are quite a few songs on this album, she has a lot of interludes! While I tend to automatically skip those I listened to her album from top to bottom. The interludes fit perfectly and helped tell the story.
Tracks like “F.U.B.U” and “Don’t Touch My Hair” were fast favorites and it seemed like I wasn’t the only one who thought that. It seemed like I couldn’t get on any form of social media without seeing someone talking about this album; everyone was singing Solange’s praises! And it wasn’t just my peers, it was hers too! This album is just what we needed this Fall, something mellow and easy. Plus the visuals that she’s released thus far are stunning! Do yourself a favor and take a listen. You can thank me later!
