Solange, who is Beyonce‘s younger sister is the more indie, alternative, and tribal version of the Queen B. Their talents are equal, she just performs with less glitter, back up dancers, and tight body suits.
The beautiful video for “Losing You”, the new Solange track co-written and produced by Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange) was filmed by director Melina Matsoukas and shot Knowles and friends in Cape Town, South Africa in August, hanging out with members of the stylish Le Sapeurs subculture.
Here’s what Solange said about the experience of shooting the video:
“When Melina and I decided to film ‘Losing You’ in South Africa, we really didn’t have a real firm concept in place. It was sort of a grab a camera and let’s go moment. I knew I wanted to capture a couple things: the vibe of our friendship and all of the crazy escapades we’ve gotten ourselves into all over the world, and the abstract and elegant Le Sape Society (Society for the Advancement of People of Elegance) formed in the Congo which was documented by Daniele Tamagni in his Gentleman of Bacongo book. We called Daniele to guide us, and some of my friends from New York came down to Cape Town and we all had a very damn good time.”
She also did a kick a$$ performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon where she dances in the hottest way with Dev Hynes her guitar player here.
