Solange Announces Comeback Single

Published: Sunday 2nd Sep 2012 by Sam

Four years.

Indeed, four long years have passed since soulful songstress Solange served up the critically delicious ‘Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams’.

And while the interim has seen details surrounding her third studio album remain scarce, that all changed today. Find out why after the jump…

In a new interview with South Africa’s Sunday Times, the fashionista reveals that her new single is titled ‘Losing You’ and that its accompanying video will be shot in Cape Town this week.

Ever “out of the box”, the mother of one says the clip will be shot “documentary style” and will premiere globally next month. 

Of the song itself, the singer characterises it as “eclectic with ’80s references and African percussion influences”. Its housing album prominently features British producer Dev Hynes, who is most notable for his work with Florence & the Machine and The Chemical Brothers. {Source}

**************

Finally! It’s been entirely too long. The youngest of the Knowles clan had us worried that the poor performance of her epic sophomore set had deterred her dreams of stardom in her own right. Thankfully it hasn’t.

We just need to it to serve up a similar flavour of fierce to this…

…and we’re “sold”.

What’s more, she plays in a “niche” lane; a fact which in itself ensures commercial performance is less of an issue. A strong body of work and a dedicated fanbase (for an act such as Solange) allows for touring, which allows for $$$, which ultimately allows for longevity.

    Now I have always thought that Solange was s***, but I’m going to need her to give me some as far from Beyonce realness that she can. . . matter of fact I want her on a different label, different stylists, different Genre, and all of that. . . quiet as its kept if she came hard she could do Beyonce like Ashlee Simpson did Jessica back in the day. . . but we’ll see. . . BTW was that Kid Cudi in the cut, and bissshhhh that Illuminati triangle mess necklace was a mess honey, people is tired of seein that mess >.>

    Last time I checked Solange is not the youngest of the Knowles clan… Dont they have a little brother too? They never bring him up. I wonder if he will be the outcast of the family…

    • virtuoso intellect September 2, 2012

      u mean the little b****** that catalysed the split up of their family? yah im sure they’re doting towards him

      • MC September 2, 2012

        Don’t call the baby a “b******” child. It was Mathew’s and his mistress’s fault that the baby came to a world in a scandalous way, not the baby’s. The baby is innocent.
