The music, which she wrote with Raphael Saadiq, felt airy and light the bass does acrobatics when she sings “I tried to dance it away” and a synthesizer trickles out vaguely Eastern-sounding motifs. Solange’s single was so good - Rolling Stone dubbed it one of the 50 Best Songs of 2016 when it came out and, later, one of the 100 Greatest Songs of the Century – So Far - in part because of the way she blended frank confessions about trying to get herself out of a funk with the poetry of “cranes in the sky,” these enormous metal blights obscuring what could be a beautiful day. Solange’s “Cranes in the Sky” was a triumph of melancholia, but Big Joanie’s heavy, fuzzy rendition of the tune makes the original sound positively upbeat by comparison.
