Glunk Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 They could only get Solange Knowles? The vocals fit pretty well but it does kinda sound like some bullshit I'd sing in the shower. I hope people hear this and think, "Boards of Canada, eh?" but I doubt it.

Glunk Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 All the same she does have a great voice and I'm pretty charmed by this interpretation. Definitely cooler than her run-of-the-mill popstar sister.

Guest ArbitersGround Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Vocals fit alright, but I just can't stand that whole RnB style of vocals period. I think it'd be much more interesting to me if someone with a voice like Bjork or even Lily Allen.

david Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Mike504 May 1st, 2011 at 2:53 pm I actually like this. I slept on Solange, but I’ve heard a few songs I like and her style is pretty cool. I might have to go and check her out on iTunes now. RunDaWorld-Ciara! May 1st, 2011 at 2:33 pm sounds a lil bit like Kelly Rowland but this song is ok but not so … Good -_- May 1st, 2011 at 2:58 pm umm are we listening to the same song? or is it just my head phones? this sound horriable to me(not hating b/c I loved I decided) but this drowns her voice and makes it sound bland Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/65842-solange-left-side-drive/#findComment-1572270 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rumbo Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I'm pretty impressed by this. Quite fitting. One of my favourite BoC tracks. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/65842-solange-left-side-drive/#findComment-1572290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBLA Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Same here rumbo... I'm not much of a boc head like most here. but Left Side Drive has been a favorite of mine from them. and yes.

skotosa Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Hey she was born in Houston Texas! Cool! I live in Houston :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solange_Knowles This sounded great! I don't dig the whole R&B either but this was surprisingly fitting.

Salvatorin Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 The thing is, why couldn't she just alter the original track a little bit, or recreate it with a different instrumentation...then one could call this a "cover"...instead I just hear a track by BOC and some a capella vocals by solange. She doesn't even try to make her voice fit into the background mix. From a production standpoint, this is bullshit.

azatoth Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Did she actually "work" with BoC when she did 'This Bird'? Sounds like she just sang over it and that was that. Same with this one.

Salvatorin Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Obviously just sang over it. I find it naive and just generally crude the way she's done these two voice-overs. She's treating the tracks like instrumentals for her voice to go over, when she should be considering her voice just another part of the track, and the way she has her voice standing out from the background doesn't accomplish that. She should've done a total recreation of the track, new instrumentation and all, then she could put this out as an aesthetically equal piece of music instead of a track ruined by a hasty addition of vocals.

thief Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 er... wikipedia: (This Bird) "Contains a sample of Boards of Canada's "Slow This Bird Down" unless my memory fails me,im pretty sure it was more than just a sample: try the entire track instead.

Guest Archrival Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I like this better than the slow this bird down massacre. Would love to hear a Boards Of Canada mix of this...Take Solanges vocals and let Boards Of Canada mix the track like they did with that Beck remix (they mix vocals fantastic!). I think BOCs strongest weapon is actually their producer skills. Ive never heard more interesting productions by any producer compared to Michael and Marcus music.

lumpenprol Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Actually this is pretty good, she redeemed herself after the Slow This Bird Down fiasco.

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work! So i hope this woman is not like kfc chicken, otherwise she'll be pulled to pieces. -organized confused project Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/65842-solange-left-side-drive/#findComment-1572455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
