Review: Solange - SoL Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams

As evident by the quirky title and unusual cover art that accompany Solange Knowles' second album, SoL Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams, Solange is a girl that marches to the beat of a slightly different drummer. No, she's not as out there as, say, Erykah Badu, but she definitely doesn't have much use for the traditional pop-R&B formula that so many artists, including her older sister Beyonce, have used to propel themselves to stardom. And for that, she gets major props. SoL Angel, released in the U.S. on Aug. 26, 2008, is by no means a masterpiece, but it's definitely a creative, outside-the-box collection of songs.
