Solange Reigns at Mo Pop Festival 2017
Solange is the queen of all things Black Girl Magic and as she held court at this year’s Mo Pop Festival, you couldn’t help but get the sense that people in the audience were having a spiritual moment.
With an ethereal performance that went beyond the usual and transcended into performance art, Solange had the audience entranced from start to finish. She even dipped into some older songs in her catalog, including one of my favorites "T.O.N.Y.".
What was really great about her performance is the sheer happiness you could see in her, the back up singers, and the band. They loved what they were doing and it translated well. She also got down in the pit during, “F.U.B.U” to interact with the audience, and mentioned that she “fucked heavy with Detroit”, since she was a little girl.
I will definitely be making my way to any and all future Solange shows. I left feeling refreshed and ready to sprinkle Black Girl Magic all over.
