Settling for Solange ...

Posted on the 27 November 2013 by Tlb Music Blog @TLB_Blog
Solange has upped her game in the music industry in recent months and, whilst we're yet to find a single that we've enjoyed more than Losing You, she is still capable of an absolute hit with her weary, but wonderful, and soulful vibes. Her latest single, Cash In, which is part of Saint Records debut compilation album, Saint Heron, is a beautiful rendition from the starlet sister of Beyonce. However, it's one we don't quite enjoy as much as her breakthrough track, and so we're worried that we're losing her for good ...
Settling for Solange ...Cash In feels much slower in pace than Losing You, and that's almost half of the reason why we just aren't feeling it. Though, in other songs, like Sam Smith's Nirvana, the pace is irrelevant, and that makes us believe that it must be something else which is making us lose time for this one-growing starlet.
The way in which she sings, as always, is utterly beautiful. She sure as hell holds her own style, and, whilst the single sways in front of you with its constant calling of hits on what sounds like a Vibraslap instrument, the thing that is missing seems to whither away, and you tend to carry on with it, right through to the bitter end despite some sort of hollow being there and foreboding.
Something in the way that the music flows might be what it is, or the way in which she carries her voice across such music, but all we know is, the elements which make up this song should really make for something wonderfully tribal and, in essence, an absolutely incredible single ... but something just isn't clicking. We'd like to think that Solange is capable of getting back on the horse and showcasing something quite incredible soon. We're just about still rooting for her.
