索蘭吉將於 11/27 推出七曲 EP "True"，曲目有下： 1. “Losing You” Her first single is pleasantly upbeat for a song about love gone complicated. Solange asks, “Boy, am I losing you for good?” on this track, where the beat borrows sentiment from Madonna’s “Like a Prayer”—honest, tender, yet undeniably dance-worthy. 2. “Some Things Never Seem to Fucking Work” The title says it all. In a song about ultimatums and questions, Solange ponders the illusion of a relationship. The vocals compete with the beat on this one, but the focus lays toward the reverberating rhythms. 3. “Locked in Closets” If we were to ever hear a Beyoncé influence, it might be on this track, where Solange boasts her infamous Knowles vocal chops. The beat is reminiscent of Michael Jackson in his “Smooth Criminal” prime, and works flawlessly with her continuing theme of messy and addictive love. 4. “Lovers in the Parking Lot” The tempo slows a bit on this song, as Solange continues with a strong vocal range. She regretfully admits, “I played around with your heart,” a telling piano riff adding dimension to the project. 5. “Don’t Let Me Down” This one is more playful, with an aggressive beat that could set the foundation for a hip-hop track if need be. Not as lyrically substantial as the rest of the cuts, a feature in fact may have been beneficial. 6. “Look Good With Trouble” Synth-heavy and full of echo, this track is versatile on its own—providing a respite from the poignant similar to the preceding one. 7. “Bad Girls (Verdine Version)” Solange works the hell out of a falsetto on this unapologetic tune about her personality quirks. Embodying the strength of a woman who knows the intricacies of relationships, this one bookended her set well. http://tinyurl.com/bubzo2l -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.119.152.57
