Solange has finally returned to music.
Today, the songstress and younger sister of megastar Beyonce released the video for her new song "Losing You."
Shot in Cape Town, South Africa, the super-stylish video juxtaposes vintage fashion with a rustic look. Huffington Post said the 70s-stle skirt suit Knowles wears in the video is by Kenzo and the blouse by Diane von Furstenberg.
MTV reports the video was directed by friend Melina Matsoukas, the video was inspired by contemporary artist Mickalene Thomas.
"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," Knowles told MTV. "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."
The song is the lead single, which she co-wrote and produced with Dev Hynes, off her new album due out next year.
