NEW MUSIC: "Left Side Drive," by Solange

Solange, my dear Solange, has finally graced us with her musical presence, which we can all agree that we've greatly missed. At least, I know I have. I've scoured many music sites in hopes a new Solange track surfaces. I've been on the look out for any mention of a new song or of her upcoming album on her Twitter . . . all with no success.

Until recently, of course, when she said via twitter:

“Wrote this over the amazing, Boards of Canada “Left side drive” a couple of years ago. It’s completely unofficial, and was just inspired by the song which i have had a deep love affair with for years. I am a huge Boards of Canada fan, and got the chance to work with them on Sol-Angel on “This Bird”. Still feel honored to this day.”

LEFT SIDE DRIVE by solange-knowles

Here is the song in which she spoke of. I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED. Her voice gets better every time I hear it, which was her last musical release, "Stillness is the Move."

-sways to the smooth rhythm and tinker of the instruments and the hypnotic tone of her voice-

What do you think?

Solange Contributes To "Music for RAIN" Foundation

Solange Knowles, one of my favorite artists, has come together with the Grizzly Bears' Chris Taylor and Twin Shadow to create a track for the "Music for RAIN" foundation, in which donators donate money to aid in sanitizing water for those in Africa who have no choice but to drink unhealthy and contaminated water, which contributes to illnesses and even death. When you donate money, you are given the track done by Solange, Chris, and Twin Shadow called "Kenya," to download and enjoy, of course. So not only do you get to feel great about donating toward an important cause, but you also feel great while enjoying a great song.

Here is the official video for the song, "Kenya."

I'll be sure to donate and spread the word around of course. Will you be doing the same?
