what’s not to like about solange? and i got to give it to her on what i’ve heard so far from her forthcoming ep release ‘true’. first there was “losing you” with its eclectic, yet visceral homage to heartbreak and fear of losing love. then there was the very capable b-side “sleep in the park,” although i choose the twin shadow remodel featuring d’angelo lacy over the original. this was followed by a couple of additional songs, “true”, “don’t let me down” and “locked in the closet”. so far so good. now we have “lovers in the parking lot”. don’t forget the ‘true’ ep drops digitally november 27th via terrible records. peace. Continue reading “solange // lovers in the parking lot”
