I like it!

she has a new album?

alphastreet said:

yes...it was released here today.



Her lead single even has 2 versions..

The single's pretty darn stinkin' cute.

i agree really cool album.

Haven't heard it but the name Solange is just awful.

Her mothers a cruel lady rhyming her daughters name with the word 'flange'.

I dont mind it, though it was Amerie who did it first. The thing that bothered me was hearing Michelle Williams say "shes bringing out something fresh that no one elese is doing" is she fucking high? no one is doing? Michelle Williams needs to go back to singing bad gospel songs and shut up.

id have to agree with Michelle, Sol is pretty much on her own lil planet, mismatched shoes and all
its nice though

I keep saying that
what she's doing is
nothing particularly "special"
(without sounding overly hateful
because I really like this dame)

but to make it plain
it was almost like listening to
a Beyonce record (vocally)
these are simply Auntie Bey blueprints
that she let her lil sister have
for this "fresh sound"
they just added some tambourine

I do give her props nevertheless
love the album!

are the words "solange" and "schlong" homonyms?

The beats are too fast though...
These producers make the beats too fast for these vocalists!

i'm in shock at how good this album is, was not expecting this from solange at all.

I have to admit. the songs I heard were acually pretty nice. that song she has with Bilal is sweet, indeed. A nice surprise.

i always thought that name was horrid. solange sounds like lozange to me.

When I heard this song the first thi nk I thought was, "someone liked Amy Winehouse" and decided to go even MORE commercial with it. I no like.

Damn, she has a cut with Bilal? I gotta scoop that then. I liked "I Decided". It was a good change for her. More mature sound for her. The 2nd single I'm not feeling though. But she's gone Neo Soul and I think that suits her pretty well.

I love it. My fave track so far is 'T.O.N.Y'

Thank god Matronik has deemed to grace us with praise for this album. I threw out all my Madonna albums after he showed us what a whore she is and I've practically worn out my copy of Cyndi's new CD!

Saadiq's all over it.

I slowed it down a little bit though:




Prince has near perfect timing. The other producers...eh.. They seem so exclusive and insulated by staff that word never gets to them. I understand that a good number of folks want to send them demos, etc..

I saw Solange's new video this morning and I forget what it's called, something about a Disco and it was actually pretty good and the video was cool too. In fact, she directed it. I might try to find a way to listen to the rest.

No signs of Mr.Saadiq, there

Actually, you're right somewhat,,,,she did work with him, but the stuff they made didn't make it to the album.

I'll be picking this up. She's the only Knowles I can stand. Since she'll never be a major uber mega pop diva, she'll probably take chances and do something interesting with her music.
[Edited 8/19/08 12:23pm]

why didn't the song with
Q-Tip & Marsha Ambrosious make it?!?!?!

Im sure it is
from a few tracks ive heard of it it sounds real good

Where in the hell have soulshock & Karlin been. Those guys generally produce
some dangerous as beats. Haven't heard from them since Heartbreak Hotel and
the last tracie spencer cd.

It is a good album...Definitely going to get my 10 bucks whenever it drops. She has a different sound...ain't radio friendly..but worthwhile none the less. A lot of growth from the last time we heard from her...Hope she has a long PRODUCTIVE career

Listen to the whole cd here
