Talk about growing up in the shadow of greatness.
Solange is Beyoncé’s little sister, a young woman who no doubt wants to be the Eli Manning of pop/R&B music, but better hope she doesn’t wind up the Stephen Baldwin.
While Solange is a pale imitation of her goddess older sister, and this song is forgettable, I do love the video.
If Randy Newman fans hoped Bad Love would be the first in a long string of new releases, they were sorely disappointed. It was a full nine years before Newman released another studio album, 2008’s Harps and Angels.
Harps and Angels picks up pretty much where Bad Love left off, mixing sarcastic talking blues tracks with gorgeous piano-and-strings ballads. It also provided Newman with his first opportunity to comment on the Bush era, and his ‘A Few Words in Defense of Our Country‘ did the job quite well (“the leaders we have, while they’re the worst that we’ve had, are hardly the worst this poor world has seen”).
