There’s a very young spirit to the song, reminiscent of one’s teenage years, sneaking out in the middle of a summer’s night to meet up with a forbidden love. The video, itself, can qualify for one of the best of the year, bringing a taste of Africana spirit to the forefront of visuals.Ī production done by Dev Hynes, who handles all of the production on True, “Losing You” offers all the romantic aura of the ’80’s and more. The song captures the romanticism behind troubled love gained and trouble loved tragically lost. The lead single, “Losing You”, which can be heard below, offers a brilliant video set to the themes of youth and adventure. Having originally explored aspects of funk and soul on her sophomore album, Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams, the EP takes such an aesthetic and turns the volume all the way to ten, reiterating Knowles’ place as the forever ‘cool’ it-girl in music. Released in November, the project acts as an extension of Solange advancing the sounds of Afro-cubano in the ’90’s and synth funk of the ’80’s. Knowles gain notoriety, and rightfully so, for running forward musically and diving headfirst into a new spectrum of sounds. Aiming to give her big sister, the famous Beyonce, a run for her money, Solange Knowles’ newest effort, the EP True provides a look into a kaleidoscope of sounds.
