Confession: Solange Knowles is really the Knowles we love the most, and her performance last night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon neatly demonstrates why.

Sporting a glamorously voluminous afro with mixed prints and backed by her frequent collaborator Dev Hynes, Knowles took the stage to perform her latest single “Losing You,” from her new EP True, and it was just such a masterpiece of effortless coolness. The song’s melancholy vibe, tempered by the tropical warmth of the production, is even more dynamic in a live set — and Knowles’ breathy, light vocals sounded perfect. She didn’t need big production values or lots of visual tricks — just a ton of stage presence, which she has in droves. Watch the performance up top.
