Solange- Stillness is the Move

[kaymarie803]

I like her style...

[soltbitch]

i like that two song. but not this one.

[dressedupinsmoke]

So, I love the original version, but Solange absolutely slays this! HELL YES! She's performed live with Dirty Projectors and collaborated with one of my fave indie bands, Of Montreal. She's fucking awesome.

[ladyci51108]

Yesss!!!!!!!! :)

[SirenMarjo]

I like her voice very soft very soul



[MzNeekie]

Solo never disappoints. This woman is so talented, abstract, creative and soulful. I have to wonder if she wasn't in Beyonce's shadow she wouldn't get more recognition. She really deserves it. <3 #noshade2beyonce

[RayRays]

People need to stop comparing her to Beyonce. They're both very talented and most importantly, different!!

[2meezycream]

I LIKE HER MORE!

[euo95]

1:34 Badasss XD

[euo95]

Song is so beautiful, you go Solange. Her new style is rocking, she's def coming into her own :]

[erica09grl]

her voice is amazing!

[8963mmq]

She goes ham with the falsetto!



[Kohrotean]

If I made a song and somebody made a cover of it that was THIS good, I'd freak! Her voice is incredible! :D

[HoneyBunny951]

Everyone has their own opinion, but I think this is better than the original or the other covers I've heard :)

[TheNamezr0]

oooooh :)))))

[42Johney]

The original version of Stillness Is The Move by Dirty Projectors is better but this is a nice adaption

[mimilialife]

she sing better than Byonce to my point of view.

[haitizfinest188]

i looove this songgg

[ZaydelZemirah]

Matthew & Tina knowles should've just had a whole bunch of little girls, they would all be rediculously beautiful & have lovely singing voices to die for.....they definatly have some good genes in their favor

[OrcaOrkestar]

@mmaxouuisfree It's a Dirty Projector's cover.

[seraph2715]

i love her ""ohhhs" and "ahhs" :)

[krazestah]

Fully looks like beyonce, 

[pegguybelly]

elle chante vraiment bien

[mimilialife]

@pegguybelly beaucoup mieu que sa soeur.

[mundie33]

Is this on an album? I'd like a copy. Thanks...

[niyird]

got that erykah badu feel

[EmrysChrist]

...And once more this great tune was used...

--->Soul Mann & the brothers - Bumpy's Lament

[QueenMariahCarey]

I Love The Melodies <3

[SayItTwice1122]

I LOVE HER. After this, I officially love her.

[keithfury]

Bless, this woman is the truth! can't believe I just heard of solange. I could tell immediately that this woman has real heart.

[cyrovitz1]

Amazing cover. Maybe even better than the original version



[djdoublej1]

Wicked track

[ichigojello]

Wow this is pretty cool

[laurabellacompany]

erykah did not  create the instrumentals from bag lady....please look up bumpy's lament on youtube, both talented artists sampled this song.

[darksideofcat]

this melody is from Ericah Badu - Bag lady!?

[laurabellacompany]

@darksideofcat bumpy's lament...by isaac hayes

[hihi182]

i wish solange and dirty projectors would collaborate together. solange just adds a spice of funk that projectors need.

[skillet4]

omg this is amazing.

[mzbri0584]

She is more soulful than her sister. her vibe is more mellow. love her music.

[somarvelis]

@mzbri0584 definitely. beyonce is awesome yet she is definitely more mainstream/refined top 40 pop.

[bosshog7169]

Got to give her credit for combining Dr. Dre and Dirty Projectors. That is awesome. its never a great idea to cover a song by someone who is a much much better vocalist than you, but I think she somehow pulled it off. The end is better than the beginning.

[EGirlism]

she really sounds like beyonce !!!

[sweetbabyfarita]

Bag Lady~ you gone hurt your back.. aghum.. excuse me while i change to erykah badu :]

[CHARLIBLUDDYB]

she has a heart full of soul, would love to see her live.

such a shame all these record labels want to change her.

like Solange would say, fuck the industry.

[jazzu8102]

I like solange and despite her history with music she is very talented she can definitely come back to the music indstry and thrive. I love beyonce too! they both are very gifted

[sofakifuckoff]

when i first saw her in the bring it on movie i thought to myself ! that girl looks just like beyonce lol ! then i found out they were sisters!

[RavenTaughtYou]

I appreciate her for being one of the few artist that are true to themselves! She deserves a lot more than she gets, and people don't even realize how dope her range is! SOLANGE > Beyonce.

[HoneyBunny951]

why do people keep comparing her to beyonce..shes way better!!!!

[thebarnesproject]

@HoneyBunny951 ....i don't know that I'd say better. She's way different. And I DON'T see the need for the comparisons. She's an awesome artist in her very on right.

[destluv78]

she is so underrated! love her vocal style ....

[keishakush420]

luv this

[SHOKMAN10]

IM IN LOVE WITH SOLANGE AKA SOUL ANGEL

[mattprincey]

@SHOKMAN10 It translates to Earth angel..

[molllsss]

I always thought to my self Solange looks like Beyonce..then i looked in the description box and was like "oh..she is beyonce's sister"

[keniadawnBIARCH]

i like the photo where shes poking fingers!!!!!!! haha

[chaywood94]

you go girl .who said you cant sing, you is a superstar I love this song keep up the good work and always keep god first for you are a bless child r

[juweewee]

@thelivingpoet this is a cover

[juweewee]

@thelivingpoet this is a cover of a dirty projectors song.

[mitchell420SF]

@kristington Food can be gay? lol wow your dumb. fuck you and your shitty taste in music my shit dropping in the toilet sounds better then this . go enjoy your gay muffins

[annlucienq]

She has a better voice than her sister but the industry likes lighter skinned women so she is not promoted as much. Racism as usual in the mix. How sad. I hope she keeps on keepin on, believing in herself. Beyonce cannot hit that range I don't care what y'all say.

[MrMusicNsound]

she is so gud!!!! great vocals

[mitchell420SF]

disgrace to dirty projectors

[vyellowh]

I know!! People need to know that she is her own artist and stop comparing her sister to her. I know how she feels! In high school people would always say your Rudy's little sister huh? How is she? HELLO?! I have a name! SHe has her own style!! I love it too!! GO SOLANGE!!

[wiwililaitraipetit]

this is a big chit. the "dirty projectors" versiion is best !!!!!

[thejerk1126]

If you think Badu made that beat up your not as much a loser as me. It s a sample

[selimsucram]

I like it but it just sounds to much like Badu. The song is banging!

[meandemjay]

Damn! Now she biting on my girl Erykah Badu? My GOD, GIRL GET YOUR OWN!!!  This child is so desperate.

[ohnoitsaaliyah43]

@meandemjay She's doing something right because you're watching.

This song is a cover of a song by Dirty Projectors.

[meandemjay]

@ohnoitsaaliyah43 - actually I didn't, jackass....I just heard the very beginning, posted my comment and left

[solidboi87]

@meandemjay Nah she's not. This BEAT was also sampled by Erykah. Erykah wasn't the first 1 to use this beat, Dr. Dre used it in 2001 for his song Xxplosive before Erykah & Solange is covering a song by Dirty Projectors...

[meandemjay]

@solidboi87 - I never said Erykah was the FIRST...She still gets no credit from me.... who am I? Just one person she moves on with or without...

[rocknox]

@meandemjay Lol, Erykah sampled also...and if she was the first and Solange sampled her....Most of your favorites did the same thing...Most of these tracks now-a-days are sampled...and get your own? Tell everyone Solange has been writing for over the past DECADE to get their own....Solange is rich not just because she is Beyonce's sister, but because she wrote some of DCs and the girls Solo's biggest hits....She is one part of a very talented family, respect her being an artist!

[MrLexanderluther1986]

Prefer Dirty Projectors...but nice little mash up here. Okay Solange ..we get it now, you like Indie Music haha

[fllwDeejaypoole]

This rocks, Solanges rocks, Her vocals rock. I downloaded this song 5 mins after I heard this, now I rock. (Even more that is)

[daoriboss]

so great i am so thankful that she sang it

[armadaman22]

I dig this big time...so smooth

[LotusFlw3r13]

She sampled Erykah Badu! thats incredible! Search Bag Lady..

[MillicentDionne]

@LotusFlw3r13 Actually didn't Erykah Badu sample this for Bag Lady? I love Erykah, she's my all time fave but I thought she sampled it as well. I've heard it on at least two other songs. Anywho, Solange is sooo underrated. I LOVE her as well, can't wait for the new album.

[LotusFlw3r13]

@MillicentDionne nah, bag lady was out first. and i LOVE them both too!

[MillicentDionne]

@LotusFlw3r13 Yeah, they're both awesome. What I meant was didn't this beat come from some other song and not just Bag Lady? Did Erykah sample it too? IDK, at least three songs have this beat.

[invernessfalls]

@MillicentDionne "bumpy's lament" by soul mann & the brothers is the original sample, i believe

[MillicentDionne]

@invernessfalls Thanks for the info, 'preciate ya!

[MillicentDionne]

@MillicentDionne Thanks, 'preciate ya!

[zakha003]

@MillicentDionne the beat is from Dr. Dre's Xxplosive

[CatFanInTheBathtub]

@zakha003 dre ??? lol it's a bit older than that

[musicmogul19]

Omg loved it those Mariah notes shocked me. I loved hearing the mixes and harmonization.

[MsFarzee]

I listen to this everyday...it is awesome. Random but there are some really dumb comments on this page I miss the function that allowed you to vote down comment and they automatically went --------away.

[chuckafuller]

Way to go, SOLANGE!!! Your creativity is simply genius!!! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

[chuckafuller]

Way to go, SOLANGE!!! Your creativity is simply genius!!! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

[umewotaberusaru]

I prefer the original, all of the background and Solange's scatting vocalizations is distracting in contrast to the instrumentation. I understand she was trying to give it a little more soul but it sounds forced rather than natural. The climax of vocals in the original sounds richer to me as well.

It's a good version, I applaud her efforts.

[doorframepush]

Better than Dirty Projectors' version, sadly. Jk, happily.

[atikkanen0912]

although she's good nothing will top the original by the dirty projectors.

[boyofmusicall]

i've been playing this song everyday since i first heard it, dope take on it by Sol-Angel

[MrBeyoncefan2000]

i love solange

[catandmas]

dont go a day without listening to this obsessed? is an understatement lol

[SunnyBananaView]

aghhh! this flow is so ILL!

[robinson6001]

im not sure why, but the first time i heard this song i pictured her as a fat soul singer girl hahaha

[liberty232]

nice cover

[sophisticatedplayboy]

Man her last album was so dope! shame it didn't do well!

she so god damn fine!

[Topkat050]

@sophisticatedplayboy her last album was crazy!!! I loved it, ppl keep comparing her to Beyonce, even tho they are two different types of artists, smh

[kodeowuiko]

I personally prefer Soltangel. Her chorus is so so so so great. I've never heard of something like her chorus. I can see her own style(in this and ThisBird,Champagnechroniknight­cap and CosmicJourney and....). Now waiting for new another greater album!(Of course, I love her great second album.)

[EFBGirls]

Erykah badu is from dallas,not houston :)

[B2XY34D]

LOL! @ 1:30

[kuj4z]

Lol, it works

[majin32547]

BAG LADY---from another huston gurl, Erika badu!

[neburselasor]

Stupid question, don't throw a bitch-fit, but who did this song first, her, or the Dirty Projectors?

[sandykesi]

@neburselasor Dirty Projectors :)

[krilabeier]

@sandykesi hahaha, I didn't see this reply--I just posted the same thing with a smiley face, haha

[krilabeier]

@neburselasor It was Dirty Projectors :)

[libragyurl]

i was unsure bout this when i saw the title,but this is nice!

[tmrprc]

she looks so gorgeous in that last picture

[DJGoldenGraham2]

i bet a lot of pitchfork junkies are pissed about this hahaha

[majin32547]

I luv Solange, but she tries too hard to escape the shadow of her big sister, that it seems like she is trying too on purpose! Solange, go with what u are meant to go to! Respect that your sister made it possilbe for ur. Janet Jackson did and look at her, she FAMOUS! Dani Manoqi Kylie Mongue's sister) didn't and look at her? WHO?

[tmrprc]

@majin32547 i dont think she "tries" to do anything. this is her lol

[UltraObscene84]

Stuff like this is what makes me prefer her to You-Know-Who.

[leejadell]

I was skeptical about her vocals but this song, Cosmic Journey, and T.O.N.Y. prove that she is her own artist and that she can sing. Hurry up with another album!!!!!!!!!

[MsJaySerene]

I wasn't expecting this at all. I really dig her version of this song. She's growing nicely as an artist and I'm glad her style is completely different from who everyone automatically compares her to.. I personally prefer Solange.

[AnkhLady806]

@MsJaySerene I thought I was the only person who felt that way.

[lafemmenaturalle]

cute rendition of this song. erykah badu and i forgot thev rappers that rapped to this beat.

[msnickey08]

She deserves a lot more credit than people give her

[shalai0126]

@msnickey08 I agree, her music is beyond classical,so suthing. She's a great artist.

[duyuctaz]

bad ass I mess with it

[hightimesbruce]

Honestly, her vocals match the original with a bigger emphasis on the R&B side of things. I don't see anything wrong with it.

[LuLuBrown2]

She needs to make a video for this and the song she has with Wale!!! I hope she reads this!!

[DarkHumorist]

Someone should remix every song (this, xplosive, bag lady, bumpy lement) that uses that bad ass riff

[djkidgorilla]

@SelahKumani~ Amen! Know your history and bump the real deal: Bumpy's Lament and mix in some Badu, followed by Dre finish it up with Solange...Know your history/

Rich beyond measure. Please Selah; don't hurt 'em.

[TheMaskedNerd912]

Okay, this is now officially my SONG.

[Bonilla0588]

wack. original is wayyyyy better

[kloexbabe]

prefer dirty proejctors but this is a great cover

[13thconstant]

This is not her song. Its by Dirty Projectors. So its not her song or her beat. Hmmmmmmm

[Chocwinx]

@13thconstant beyonce's the ultimate theif most songs she did she copid almost every lyrics and tune

[13thconstant]

@Chocwinx This is Beyonces Sister. Since my last comment the correct info has been edited into the video notes so that makes me happy.

[PrettyNicca]

I miss her hair!!!! Please grow some hair solange!!!!!!

[13thconstant]

@PrettyNicca That wasnt her hair. It came out that was just a wig that whole time. Not that theres anything wrong with that. She lied and said it was real.

[musicstah92]

@13thconstant y would she do that?

[13thconstant]

@musicstah92 Who knows. oh well

[musicstah92]

@13thconstant what a mess..lol

[13thconstant]

@PrettyNicca That wasnt her hair. It came out that was just a wig that whole time. Not that theres anything wrong with that. She lied and said it was real.

BTW Dr.Dre also sampled that beat. Not his either

[DarkHumorist]

@PrettyNicca have you seen her recently? I really like the new hair, it's like a poofy afro! I love it

[mcelkr]

creative mix, beautiful voice, love it!

[blahzescoop]

prettiest i have ever heard her voice.. sounds like Aaliyah

[PrettyNicca]

@blahzescoop this is the best that ive herd her 2

[bsimmons8888]

I love her vocal styling

[hilhagilzero]

Well put together track.

[MrCesidio89]

Great cover !!!

[ShanteParadigm]

I love the life that the "Bumpy's Lament" sample has had. And Solange, you are KILLING this cover--truly lovely.

[Ormoniifyify]

@AutAmoAutMors stop hating....

[geenatron]

@muddytonic : this is a guitar riff from an erykah badu song. interesting to see a cover using these two songs together

[MuddyTonic]

Her name makes me think of Losanges. Ricoooolaaaaa!!!!

[radguitar1]

@MuddyTonic and that makes me think of Los Angeles

[MuddyTonic]

where else is this guitar riff from? so familiar?

[MuddyTonic]

@MuddyTonic Ah yes, Dr. Dre, explosive.

[blahzescoop]

@MuddyTonic erica badu bag lady

[gtesremos]

Beyonce's sis? Amazing cover, making it her own but with a twist like a good cover should BE, ya dun'know muddafunka ...

"You got-ta have Soul, if you didin't you wouldn't be in here" So said Mr Brown

[gtesremos]

Beyonce's sis? Amazing cover, making it her own but with a twist like a good cover should BE, ya dun'know muddafunka

[imhappywithmyself]

solang knowles shes can hit them high notes better then her sister can thumbs up

[TawanaNicole]

20 obviously don't know real music :)

[faizal020]

WoW

[HabeshaQween]

Amazing, wish there was a button for "Love this"

[MrBeyStanTv]

LOVE<<<333 THIS

[EllaJacky21O]

great cover :)

[asoapboxopera]

what a good cover

[water4sure]

This is great!!!

[jusTOOfresh]

i fuuuuuckkkkkk wit this

[intersarah5555]

This song really just speaks to me. I love both versions, but solanges range here just blows my brains out evvvverytime. plus she just adds such a soulful, gorgeous vibe to it. i never comment on youtube but i came to this video just to say how much i love it.

[Mcshoot]

craaap

[leones494912]

this sounds like explosive... lil diff tho..still good

[shedevil92]

where can you download this??

[Takver]

I like the original but there is nothing like indie girl/boy preciousness to make me roll my eyes. Oh noes! R n' B is contaminating sacred indie purity! When my sister introduced me to the Dirty Projectors, she knew that I was an R n B fan, and so *this* was the song that she chose to play for me. Any one with any kind of ear for music will pick up that the original was *already* inflected with an r n b vibe anyway so an r n b re-make is kinda obvious, even logical.

[psychgirl1989]

I'm feeling this. I wasn't sure at first.... but I really like her vocals on this. Cool

song.

[TeAmoMusica18]

I love solange!!!!!!

[youthmusx]

she got a greeaat voice love it<3

[manfredicomposer]

Good cover my friend. I like it.

[apurds]

This is HORRIBLE compared to the original. Unless you're the type to like making amazings songs into boring mainstream versions.

[itsokaytobeafraid]

@apurds yeah, you are so indie yo! hahahahahaha, fucking pathetic hipster.

[apurds]

@itsokaytobeafraid oooook, just stating my opinion.....no need to get angry. Just saying people need to start coming up with their own music. Don't make covers to songs that are worse than the originals.
