More...............

Well...you've got my interest.

Sounds good so far....

Her last album was full of potential hits - but didn't fit the mold of what radio's playing.

This new song sounds hot - I want more!

Booq Marq!

Written by Solange and Dev Hynes and produced by Blood Orange, the single is available now on iTunes.

I'll give it a spin.

Let it go on record that I find her more interesting than her hambone

sister. This has nothing to do with "interesting" or "hambone" but

I also think she's prettier than her hambone uninteresting hambone

sister.

I really like the song! Wow... and I like the video and I love her style. She is definitly more interesting than her overrated sister and Ive always thought she was naturally more prettier.

Checkin for this.

It has more originality than anything her sister has attempted in years.

the video is very GOT IT ITS GONE 2012

She shot the music video in Cape Town, South Africa. Side B of the single is another new song, "Sleep in the Park" .

I can tell, it reminds me of when I was in South Africa. Beautiful country ... The song was good. It kinda reminds me of the 4 album though (the synths that is). I love the kenzo, DVF, J Crew clothes they have in the video - it makes it look so 2012, LOVE IT! She's really coming into her own with her style, which is quite refreshing because she had so many style flaws before. I'm loving her look and she wins over her sister Bey anyday in the fashion department.

I thought it was nice.

Love the visuals.

Gorgeous hair.

Could do without the dancing.

Lyrics kinda light weight.

like the vibe, though.

I like the song......and her.

"Losing You"'s B-side.

Has her own thing going here. Doesn't sound like familiar hogwash on

the radio now. I say Yes! I like both songs.

Me likey

Wow I actually really like it and the video. I've never been a fan of Solange's other songs but this one is good. They processed the vocals a bit but it still sounds nice.

.

Love the song and the video. Definitely going to check out this album. Love her style and her fashion is flawless...very quirky, up to date, yet classy all at the same time. I can get with it.

Solange is also on the cover of Elle South Africa's November issue.

This is actually a very good song and cool video

Solange Announces True EP Release Date

October 25, 2012

Solange caused quite a stir when she released her new ‘Losing You’ video and she is primed to keep the momentum going with her new EP, True. Set to be released via iTunes in late November 27, the Dance-styled record was co-written and produced by Devonte ‘Dev’ Hynes.

True will be available to Solange’s fans on November 27th. Although many of us would prefer to get a full length album from the quirky singer-songwriter, the EP is already being heralded a solid collection of tunes that represent her artistry.

Read details of some of the songs from the collection below:

1. ''Losing You''

Her first single is pleasantly upbeat for a song about love gone complicated. Solange asks, “Boy, am I losing you for good?” on this track, where the beat borrows sentiment from Madonna’s “Like a Prayer”—honest, tender, yet undeniably dance-worthy.

2. ''Some Things Never Seem to F*cking Work''

The title says it all. In a song about ultimatums and questions, Solange ponders the illusion of a relationship. The vocals compete with the beat on this one, but the focus lays toward the reverberating rhythms.

3. ''Locked in Closets''

If we were to ever hear a Beyoncé influence, it might be on this track, where Solange boasts her infamous Knowles vocal chops. The beat is reminiscent of Michael Jackson in his “Smooth Criminal” prime, and works flawlessly with her continuing theme of messy and addictive love.

4. ''Lovers in the Parking Lot''
The tempo slows a bit on this song, as Solange continues with a strong vocal range. She regretfully admits, “I played around with your heart,” a telling piano riff adding dimension to the project.

5. Don’t Let Me Down

This one is more playful, with an aggressive beat that could set the foundation for a hip-hop track if need be. Not as lyrically substantial as the rest of the cuts, a feature in fact may have been beneficial.

6. ''Look Good With Trouble''

Synth-heavy and full of echo, this track is versatile on its own—providing a respite from the poignant similar to the preceding one.

7. ''Bad Girls'' (Verdine Version)

Solange works the hell out of a falsetto on this unapologetic tune about her personality quirks. Embodying the strength of a woman who knows the intricacies of relationships, this one bookended her set well.

The cover of True really hurts my eyes.

she is what i wish beyonce would be real wuth a soul this girl should be in the spotlight not beyonce america is so fake sleeping on solange is not real

Itunes?? They don't even have very good quality mp3s...ugh!
