Break out the hallelujah hands emojis because Solange just debuted a new song last night at a party for HBO's Bessie Smith biopic, Bessie. The track, "Rise," was dedicated to the Ferguson and Baltimore in light of the protests over the respective deaths of Michael Brown and Freddie Gray at the hands of police officers and is supposedly going to appear on her next, still-untitled album. Set to a pulsing dreambeat and twinkling piano keys, Solange uses a light-touch with the vocals, creating a moody, emotion-laden soul jam in the process. Give it a watch, above.
