The music is completely generic indie-dance, the singer affects ennui but just sounds bored (and boring), the lyrics are incredibly bad and it repeats the same (not very good) melody on pretty much every line. And it goes on for bloody ages.
Whereas Solange has actually bothered to write verses AND a bridge AND a chorus AND a middle eight, she sings the (great) lyrics with tremendous character (seriously her vocal inflections and her lightness of touch are just irresistible here) and the chorus has all sorts of excellent "ooh-ooh-ooh" and "ba-ba-ba" melodic counterpoints going on.
