Solange + Boards of Canda = Really?


I don't know if I even dig this song, but I'm glad to see that some of today's pop and soul artists are listening to good stuff on the side (e.g. Kanye reconstructing Daft Punk for "Stronger.")

This is from Solange Knowle's (Beyonce's little sister) new album Sol-Angel & The Hadley St. Dreams, which is being marketed as another return to the classic soul sound that Amy Winehouse recaptured on her last record. It's basically her singing a half-song over Boards of Canada's "Slow This Bird Down," which was one of the best moments on The Campfire Headphase.
