He ran 70 States, empty your credit card, he walked in circles, you giddy, danced. All this and more is what carried out Solange Knowles to cope with the cyclone of the comes or at least expects it in that beauty of song that responds to the title of Cranes in the sky. Although perhaps the climax of this romantic duel has been creating a pluperfect album in which femininity, strength, vulnerability and power mingle subtly, as in a beautiful Symphony (soul). Speak of to Seat At The Table, the new disc from the singer of r & b (and hermanisima of Beyonce) that has surprised pleasantly to critical and public.
The first advancement in the form of audiovisual piece that we have obtained from the same has been the video of Cranes in the sky. A story about the nature of love and the desire that Solange has taken to another level by the hand of la Carlota Guerrero, the artistic director of this immense (and we were short) video clip. "It is a song of love and heartbreak, and Solange wanted it to be very feminine... "Hence the color palette and corporal expression", explained Charlotte Vogue.es exclusive. And it is this photographer and Director of art in Barcelona has been commissioned to select personally (and next to Solange) all aesthetic details that make up A Seat At The Table, the highly anticipated new album of the singer.
That is, that the history of Carlota and Solange has not started and finished in Cranes in the sky, but which is extended over the creation of an album that promises to mark a before and a later in the career of the singer. "She (Solange) wanted visual consistency throughout the project, that sense that the same person was present in every field", commented Charlotte. "We did all the art direction of together. We spent a week in New Orleans to develop each idea, color palettes, locations, the choreography. Then we got on a caravan and we spent almost the whole month of August rolling every day at a different location".
In short a genuine crush on (creative). The truth is that after contemplating the Carlota Instagram, one thing is clear, she and Solange were intended to be or at least in regard to this project. Both had already collaborated in a video that the singer presented at Tate Modern and the connection that is established then was so good that it was only a matter of time to cross their paths. On this occasion, the colors of love have been the culprits: rose and violet. The two shades that dye across the video of Cranes in the Sky, as well as the look of Heridadegato which "sneaked" first in the heart of Solange and then in some of the most beautiful scenes of the mentioned video clip. And who is behind this signature? Then again, two talents made in Spain: Maria and James. "The stylist with which we climbed a small preview of that look, truth was wrong, was a small track. Three hours later we had an email from the stylist's Solange saying something like "I don't know what that is but we want it now," explained Jacobo Vogue.es. "I wanted to look, we did not know why. We now understand that it fits perfectly with the tones of the video".
It's that easy, so perfect. They insist that this type of collaboration with celebrities "give confidence and security", especially in a market like the American, where the Heridadegato are intended to make their way - leave soon to Los Angeles--. Now, Solange is Solange. And not is it same that she look an of your creations to it make a celebrity of less draught and complexity.
"Give clothes to celebrities is an investment." You dictate everything, always with the risk then do not out - and always all without return-. But Solange being a figure which we admired for many reasons, among them have been wrought an interesting career, have an own speech and make activism, the truth is that neither did,"concluded Jacobo.
The case is that the love of the singer with the violet dress by Heridadegato who wears in the video for 30 seconds while running a delicate choreography was something strictly personal. Yes, your stylist intervened and managed to obtain the model in question, but Solange already knew the work of James and Mary, as reviewed by the own Carlota Guerrero.
The case is that on the album A Seat At The Table "much Spanish is spoken"; and not one Spanish either, but the statement through pink and violet brushstrokes. The language of love.
