Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Jerrod

Although Solange Rarely Sings On The Topic Of Sex “Jerrod” Is The First Song In Her Entire Discography To Be Centred On This Theme. The End Of “We Deal With The Freak'n Intermission ” Transitions Into The Beginning Of This Song. This Transition Is A Sample Of “Rainbow Room” From The Soundtrack To “The Holy Mountain” Directed By Alejandro Jodorowsky. Some R&B And Neo Soul Artists Have Paid Their Respects To The Argentinian Director As The Surreal Nature Of His Films Have Influenced The Genre’s Atmosphere And Sound. The Abstract And Often Unpredictable Nature Of Neo Soul’s Sound Can Be Attributed To The Unexpected Nature Of Jodorowsky’s Cinematic Concepts. This Is Reflective In Neo Soul Because Unlike Most Contemporary R&B Neo Soul Is Not Afraid To Experiment With Avant-Garde Surrealist Or Abstract Concepts. Works Such As D'Angelo’s “Voodoo” And Erykah Badu’s “Mama’s Gun” Carry That Inherent Theme. Solange Has Carried This On All Throughout “When I Get Home” Constantly Going Against The Grain To Allow Herself To Have Freedom Exploring Abstract And Oftentimes Unconventional Concepts. In The Same Way That This Album Dictates That Nothing Should Be Done Without Intention Solange’s Intentions Of Sampling Jodorowsky’s Work Comes As A Matter Of Noting His Abstract Work As One Of Numerous Influences On Her Work.
