The Bird

Wasn't sure where to post this, but for any one wanting to hear Solange's version of "Slow this bird down" here it is.

I don't like it personally, she should have kept it to how it was.

EDIT: Title should have said "This Bird", but thats what happens when you trust semi-illiterate Youtube users...

jeez, couldn't listen past the intro.

Much much worse than I expected. Terrible.

*puts Slow This Bird Down on repeat to clean out ears*

It's got a lyric that references the original title too. Something like "This bird's gotta slow down". Can't bear to listen again to correct that.

I skipped through the first minute or so and that was enough. I'm bemused by it.

Yikes, I acutally had hopes for this track. The vocals don't sound in tune at all.

wtf, this does not work at all. atleast the eoin brothers should be getting a nice wad of cash for this abomination.

It's not horribly offense but it's rather ridiculous and amateurish.

Embarrassing..

I notice one of the tracks on her album features bilal, but I don't think it's ed handley lol.

worst. mix. ever.

She made a terrible mistake - she missed the original position of the track in TCH by one track in her own album, it's 13, not 12! How could that have happened... :undecided:

*douses ears with petrol and flicks a lighter*

ha haaaa! what the fuck is that? sounds like the singing's in a totally different key!?

awful.

i guess i should feel lucky i listened 13 of the 20 seconds sample on amazon a few days ago, so i don't have to get thru all the torture again clicking to that youtube link.

I wonder how much Mike and Marcus got for allowing that bitch to fuck up their song.

jesus wept

nothing wrong with the key though, it's just a fifth or a seventh or something above, and maybe in an odd mode

jesus, she even filched the outro

I refuse to listen to that shit on the grounds it will ruin one of the best songs of TCH.

Why did the bothers even let her sample their song?

Doesnt it go against their "lets be mysterious" band ideology.

Probably, but that was likely outweighed by their "lets pay off our mortgages" ideology.

I know, it's quite mysterious isn't it - oh wait

Boards of Canada was an underground band known by a few people in the world.

Now that solange used one of their songs they'll become popular and one of the main acts on Warp records.

Solange should become a new verb.

I liked the first bit of that track until the vocals came in and completely solanged the song.

They could have at least given it to a better singer or let someone like radiohead *shudders* sample it, not solange. Even Freescha managed to score a song with britney which is still better than solange.

I like it.
