A politically-charged wonderland: Glastonbury 2017 was memorable for all the right reasons
Nothing else compares
Solange 'Dont Touch My Hair'
Solange, West Holts, Saturday
Finally. A live UK performance from Solange after her stunning 'A Seat At The Table' album. It's been almost a year since the singer released it and the wait to hear her perform it live on British shores was becoming unbearable. Her performance was just as compelling as the themes of female empowerment and black womanhood on her critically-acclaimed record and the anger vented on the LP was symbolised through a striking red outfit and regimented choreography with her dancers. We got a set featuring 'Cranes In The Sky', 2012's 'Losing You' and the Sampha-featuring 'Don't Touch My Hair'. Sampha was due on-site on Sunday, so there was some anticipation he'd be joining her. He didn't, but Solange didn't need him to replicate the chilling beauty of the track. She made sure to announce she was celebrating her 31st birthday, too, so a chorus of "Happy Birthday to Solange" acted as a set interlude. Not a bad birthday, that. DT
