I saw her video for Sandcastle Disco and its nice! I was more impressed by her wanting to be herself and for taking charge of her career.
She said she was inspired by the careers of Michael Jackson and Prince as they gave the middle finger to all the people that told them they cant do what they want.

Can wait to hear what her 2nd album sounds like.

I was thinking about buying it. I just loved her new single, I Decided and she certainly has better stage presence and voice technics than her sis Beyonce in my opinion. So maybe I will get it somewhere down the line.

I like that song too. And the video is very nice. Im also glad she named checked BJORK as a inspiration on BET last night. However I dont know if she will have that type of music on her album.

I saw her last night on Letterman and, 2 b honest, I wasnt impressed!! Her style is neither here or there!! I thinks shes very confused as 2 what genre she wants 2 b in!! Is she either metal or grunge, or hip-hop, or R & B???? God knows!!!! In fact, I thought she was a total freak show!!!!

She's unique and her album is tight.... real tight.

I've been calling the sound she has along with quite a few other acts as of late 'retro-soul'. Even though that doesn't quite describe her either because she comes with a 'hippie' vibe as well. I would say she falls into a vein akin to acts like Corine Bailey Rae, Amy Whinehouse and India.Arie

But she most definatlty is not metal or grunge...

Yea, right after I get a nail shoved into my skull.

I cam hear that.

oh, that reminds me...when is the other half of badus album comming out?
i thought it was supposed to be aug/sept?

horatio said:

That's what I want to know. I knew she wouldn't be releasing it that soon since she just finished a tour. I want a copy in my hands now...

on my way to get it now... she's signing copies at J&R musicworld in lower Manhatttan at 12:30 pm... and the price is right at 7.99

I love I decided, but that Cee-Lo penned track T.O.N.Y. IS THE BIZZNESS !!!!

How is that Bilal track?

Graycap23 said:

I didn't listen to it... I only listen to the first 5 songs on Uiversal's website last week... decided that i'd wait to get the CD and listen to it as a whole

Yeah, it's obvious she's gone the Neo Soul route and this may suit her just dandy. I wish Mya would do the same, I think she could do some work in that genre as well. I'm gonna get a promo copy of Sol Angels from my homegirl that works at the label.

Mya really should have went this route..but she want to stay stuck in r&b dryland

Ok... so I went on my lunch break to J&R and I get there and it was 12:46 pm
I bought The Game and Solange got it signed and spoke with her for a min and was walking out the door at 12:53 pm

paisleypark4 said:

Mya had a Neo Soul cut on her Moodring album, I forget what it was, but the moment I heard it I said "THIS is the genre she should be in. Typical R&B ain't her flava".

MuthaFunka said:

"Real Compared To What?" with Common?

paisleypark4 said:

Anatomy 10n1??

paisleypark4 said:

I'm not sure. I don't recall the title but I heard it on the Neo Soul music channel for direcTV back in 04 I think?

muse87 said:

Yeah! I think THAT'S it.

MuthaFunka said:

Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis produced that one
