Solange – Saint Heron

February 2, 2014 Jalisa McFat Leave a comment

Solange’s own record label Saint Records drops a compilation album called “Saint Heron”. It is a mix of dream pop, soul, and alternative r&b. The vibe I got off of this project was very relaxing so I can understand why it is considered dream pop.

The artists on board for on this album are Jhene Aiko, Solange, Cassie, India Shawn, Iman Omari, Petite Noir, BC Kingdom, Kingdom, Kelela, Starchild, Sampha, and Jade De La Fleur. The album was released in November 2013. I picked a few tracks I felt stood out the most 🙂

MJ “KingMdot” from Rocky Mount, NC (252) has always written poetry and eventually evolved into a more rhythmic rap. He has always loved listening and playing the guitar.

“Their music is something I not only hear, but something I feel in my soul” (on guitars)

His music roots are found in blues, soulful R&B, folk, rock, and hip-hop. He draws inspiration from B.B. King, Lauryn Hill, James Taylor, Jimi Hendrix, and Cee-Lo Green. These diverse sources of inspiration give his music a unique twist and soulful blend, giving birth to a new genre he calls “Eclectic Fusion.”
