Solange Knowles – “Stillness Is The Move” (Dirty Projectors cover)
Along with word today that Solange has left Interscope is a free buzz track for us to enjoy – Solange Knowles’ version of “Stillness Is The Move” by Dirty Projectors, using a sample originally from “Bumpy’s Lament” by Soul Mann & the Brothers and made popular by Dr Dre (“XXplosive”) and Erykah Badu (“Bag Lady”).

Her voice has improved, she couldn’t sing for toffee before. I think the sample is delicious but we do not need yet another song rinsing it. They haven’t even tried to put an original twist to it, even ripping off some of Erykah’s vocal arrangement. Nothing new under the sun, indeed.
