STARCHILD

One of the many standouts on Solange Knowles’ Saint Heron compilation late last year was Relax, a track by Starchild and a band called The New Romantic. We did a little research, and it turns out that Starchild pays the bills with the enviable job of playing guitar with Solange’s band, and he’s also performed as a backing singer for Blood Orange. The luscious, 80s-feeling pop sound of Relax marks a promising point of progression for Starchild, as he’s been experimenting with his voice on amateur, piano-led demos and spaced-out rap tracks. Whether or not he can squash the (rather polite) beef between Solange and Dev Hynes, however, remains to be seen.
