Solange Knowles - "I Decided"

Tuesday May 20, 2008
Solange - I DecidedFive years after her debut album -Solo Star - was released (and went nowhere), Solange Knowles, aka Beyonce's little younger sister, has jumped back in the music game. Sol is gearing up to drop her sophomore album, Sol-AngeL and the Hadley St. Dreams, via Geffen Records on Aug. 26. The first single, "I Decided," has been been out for awhile, but wasn't posted here until now 'cause yours truly wasn't really feelin' it. Turns out that I just didn't get it; your girl Sol was going for a throwback, doo-wop sound here, courtesy of producer Pharrell Williams (of the Neptunes). And if the singing were better, this might actually be a pretty good song. To stream "I Decided," click on the link below or on the photo.

Solange’s new song is actually pretty good and the singing is good also. You can always pick up the single at the store or whatever. Some people aren’t impressed very easily; even if the work is quality. But everyone does have the right to their own opinion.

I too love solange new song and her outlook on like. She is the total opposite of her beautiful yet….plastic and untouchable life.

I like that she is a writer and “decided” to go her own way- raising her child and doing her, no matter what others think!

THE ONE This I would suggest to her..becareful of your interviews and how you answer questions, you sometimes come across snobish or not interest in the interview….honey you trying to win the audience over not PISS them off !

Love your music and concept…keep doing it
