Miloe on "Solo":
SOLO is a song by the amazing Congolese/Belgian artist Lous and The Yakuza. She’s stated that she wrote the song thinking about the loneliness that our people and Black People at large face feel due to systemic racism and the effects of colonization. The Democratic Republic of Congo gained its independence from Belgium on June 30th 1960 - that wasn’t very long ago. I would argue that colonization continues to this day through the extraction of natural resources by western corporations, which directly benefits those of us privileged enough to live in the west. Black people and black women especially have to scream and fight just to receive empathy from this world. The lyrics that resonated with me the most are:

“Se battre jusqu'à la muerte (eh)
Parce qu’on a trop fierté”

Despite what we face, we are not defined in our trauma. There is so much pride and love for our culture and our people, which will always fuel us in the fight for our humanity

Lyrics (English):
From birth we were promised mountains and wonders
On condition that we shut it up, that we forget the essential
To whom to ask for help except from the Eternal Father
Why is black not a color of the 'Rainbow

May God take me away from the path of vengeance
Returning the favor to them is tempting
Do I cry out so that I can be heard
6-0 year of independence

May God take me away from the path of vengeance
Returning the favor to them is tempting
Do I cry out so that I can be heard
6-0 year of independence

Always having to debate
Always having to defend yourself
Fighting to the death
Because we have too much pride

Whatever we say, we'll stay solo
Whatever we do, we'll stay solo
Solo, solo, solo, solo

Whatever we say, we'll stay solo
Whatever we do, we'll stay solo
Solo, solo, solo, solo

How to never reciprocate them
No one can see through fraternal bonds
Some still see us as their adversaries
Why isn't black a color of the rainbow

May God take me away from the path of vengeance
Returning the favor is tempting
Do I cry out so that I can be heard
6-0 year of independence

May God take me away from the path of vengeance
Returning the favor is tempting
Do I cry out so that I can be heard
6-0 year of independence

Speak, go tell me what bothers you
I feel your eyes and your heart freezing
Speak, go tell me what bothers you
I feel your eyes and your heart freezing

Whatever we say, we'll stay solo
Whatever we do, we'll stay solo
Solo, solo, solo, solo

Whatever we say, we'll stay solo
Whatever we do, we'll stay solo
Solo, solo, solo, solo
