In the past few years, people thought that Solange had fallen through the cracks. She was pregnant, had a beautiful baby boy, but a failed marriage under her belt – and then rumors swarmed of her and Lil’ Wayne. But all the while, Solange has been writing, being a mother, and looking absolutely stunning while socialiting at random parties with Kelly Rowland and the defunked Teiarra Mari. Not many people heard her first solo effort, “Solo Star,” but Solange proved herself to be a talented young writer, and has since proved herself with writing on big sister Beyonce’s “B’Day” project, as well as the forthcoming “Ms. Kelly” from Kelly Rowland (slated for release June 26th). We always knew that Solange was the quirky, “weird” one out of the bunch, but her quirky, weirdness and maturity comes out a little bit more in these mellow alternative/R&B tracks that were passed along to radio. Remember those photos from Solange’s Houston showcase? Well, I think this is a nice sound for Solange, but I think she needs to take it a few steps further… let’s see what comes of it.

Make sure you log on and catch Solange on MySpace for more updates about her, baby Daniel and the new material that she’s set to release. And remember, you heard them on CL first…
LIKE I SAID SHES THE BEST ILL LISTEN WHEN I GET HOME CANT WAIT!!
Passssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!
BASHY!! ‘__’
u can definilty tell that she has grown up, her voice sounds more mature although still sounding like a little girl singing a grown ass woman song!!! but its okay i wouldnt be buying her album though, maybe the bootleg for $5
Are you sure the “White Picket Dreams” song is Solange? It sounds nothing like her. But she’s starting to sound like Beyonce.
I always thought Solange was the better songwriter of the two. But she’s been blackballed to just being Beyonce’s little sister. No matter what she does.
PETA gonna set her ass up like they did Beyawnce..
FREE PARIS FREE PARIS FREE PARIS
I like it!
Not knocking her hustle… that shit was lame!
Co sign with #7 them crazy ass folks at Peta don’t play..
Wear fur yo ass will learn!
Her songs are not that bad but she does sound like her sister Beyonce..but maybe because all of these years Solange wrote for beyonce so their sound is similar..lol
She sound more grown up because she is more grown up. she is not 15 anymore so yeah her voice is gonna be a little more adult. but as for the song being good and her sounding good like beyonce thats bull$hit.
House of Dereon clothing makes me sick (altho some of their jeans are ai) but i mean for real, what’s that curtain chain in the middle of her outfit? Mama Knowles sure be runnin out of ideas and her played out daughters need to sit their asses the hell down. Solange aint nutin but a leach sponging off her sister’s fame. Instead of getting pregnnt at such an age she should have stayed at skool. U aint gonna be nutin better than Bey’s shoe assistant. And i don’t give a flying *beep* if the whole Knowles family are doing an “Iman” and reading this blog….in fact i hope they are…
I can’t listen to it now, but I will. I hope it’s not all kid stuff I know she young, but she has been married and divorced and had a baby…
Gotta listen when I get home. That being said. She’s a talented writer. But artist…not so much. Some people need to know when to just be behind the scenes.
OK…wait. I had no clue Solange was a weedhead! I didn’t think a thing of the “chronic” part in champagnechronicnightcap. Wow…I must give her props for being honest about what she’s into. Did anyone pay attention to the end when she’s asking someone to pass her the joint??? I’m cracking up rotflmao. Yea, her voice isnt bad either
Solange? She’s being force feed down the public’s throat thanks to Dad.
There are thousnads of “Solanges” out there, she just needs to thank the lawd who are sister and father are, that’s all.
Pretty girl, nice voice and there’s a whole lot of that out there.
She sounds NOTHING like Beyonce!!……she is struggling on the high notes, and sounds all scratchy……she sounds more like MYA!!!!
Both songs are nice….
CAFFYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I MISS YOU!!
Caff and Bashy need to hurry the hell up and just hook up! Theres too much sexual chemistry and tension in the air. Am i the only who can feel the e-love?
#14 you know how to keep it classy
NICE SOUND FOR HER, SHE HAS SOMETHING WIT THIS NEW MATERIAL, HOPEFULLY HER ALBUM WILL DO GOOD. LOVE ME SOME SOLANGE.
PASSSSSSS…..NOT FEELN EITHER TRACK….SHE NEEDS 2 ASK HER SISTER FOR SOME HELPPP….ASAP…
Yea i have to wait til I get home. i must agree, she would have a tough start just being the younger sister or the second in the family to come into the business. No matter how much talent she has. We are so tough on people as a society. We would want her to step it and step it up some more. I am sure it’s nice though I will check it out later. One more thing here baby is soooo cute! She has a strong family so despite her divorce she will be a good mom.
dey musta run out of dat ol face bleach cos u sho iz mad! hw u gna run ya mouth lyke dat wen u no dat da knowles fam b reeding dis shit? bleachin ass tricks need 2 shut da hell up
The ChampagneChronicnightcap is not bad. The beat is hot, her vocals are not too bad, but she have a lot of work to do on them vocals.
Well good for her………….
BRING BACK THE CHAT!………..please *\o/*
hahaha yo’all crazy but with Solange tone sounds like Beyonce..lol..but all in all no shade to Solange..she wants to be heard like her sister..lol
Booooooo…better off behind the scenes..sorry ‘lange
I kinda like them. I like “White Picket Dreams” more though. Once I have a champagnechronicnightcap I’ll probably like that one too.
I will admit these songs sound more grown up then her sis..lol
she said “light the dro, sip on mo” I didn’t know she get down like that. LOL…
and she sounds nothing like her sister, totally different vibe, could work on the vocals
I have no interest in listening to her corny ass!NEXXXXXXXXXTTTTTTTTTT!
@ 26
I couldn’t read half of what you “wrote” but judging from the word “trick” I’m guessing I won’t like it. Go find a sharp knife, place it on a comfy chair and sit the hell down
@22
Don’t be coming at me. There ain’t nothing classy either in being sacreligious and calling yourself one of the holy disciples. Cos you know your ass is stank
blk what chat. i heard u say that the other day
YALL SLEEPIN ON “SOLO STAR”, THAT ALBUM WAS HOT TO ME… I DUNNO ABOUT DEZE SONGS JUST YET THOUGH. AND SHE DOES SING A LIL LIKE BEYONCE. IN FACT THAT IS HER SINGIN THE VERSE ON DISNEY’S “PROUD FAMILY”, THEN DESTINY’S CHILD COMES IN ON THE CHORUS.
I love big sis Beyonce, but Solo…not so much.
Whats up CL Chat peeps!
SOLANGE……..I feel bad for her because she’s always 2nd best to her sister. Her parents put all the attention, time and energy for Beyonce she found something to get attention. Her baby, and now shes smoking. Whats else? They need to help her and stop shhunning her away before she becomes a more big embrassment.
#38…and the verse on the Proud Family proves? It wasn’t nothing special to make us like her more or less.
Now that god-awful annoying song she did with NORE is stuck in my head now. I must bleach my brain.
I can’t listen so i gotta wait BUT wtf is a chronichampangenightcap? gotta try it…
WHATS HAPPENIN DDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AGREE, BRING BACK DA CHAT, I BE BORED AT WORK!!!!!!
WHAT UP CHATTERS……..
I use bleaching cream so I can look like Beyonce’.She is my idol.Why don’t some of yall use the bleaching cream?It makes you lighter.
I haven’t listened to the track cause Im at work please tell em she didn’t say pass her a joint. I can’t wait until this office clears I am going to blast that track. What fan base is she trying to get Snoops. wtf??? poor little danny?????I tell you boy I remember when kids upheld their parents not daring to embarrass them but bewteen the Knowles and and the Norwood’s boy I tell you. If Solange does this who know what J has B doing…I smell sex tape!!
My mom was right it’s harder raisng girls vs boys…girls are to gullible and vernable…they fall for Mr. Wrong faster than Mr. right! what a shame..any who I smell a flop!
Ol’ likes to get faded, she would make a better wife for Snoop! Could you imagine?
I actually like Solo Star also and I don’t think she sounds bad my fav song was “crush” I feel bad for her too because she will always be known as Beyonce lil sister the girl is her own person damn let her do her thang….
^^^GIRL^^^
Who the hell still uses the word “chronic”, besides doctors and senior citizens, in reference to a chronic neck/back/knee problem?
Kats haven’t used chronic since Doggystyle.
What’s goin’ on with the bottom of that top. Looks like it’s from that same bolt of fabric Kelly’s t-shirt material outfit is from. H.O.D. makes some ugly stuff. It’s very unlikely for siblings in the music biz to score big at the same level. Janet and Micheal are probably the only ones, and remember Janet got significant help from the Minnesota boys throughout the years.
Question? Why in the hell would Kelly let a chic, who’s own album flooped do all this writing for her.
Wake up Kelly.
LOOK COMPLEX DOPE I JUST STATED THAT. NOT TO PROVE SHYT! DAMN YALL ALWAYS TRYNA TO MAKE SOMETHIN OUT IF NOTHIN…SHYT! COMMENT AND MOVE DA FUK ON!
I have never been a Solange Fan. But this sounds better than her old stuff. I still wouldn’t buy her album.
Champagne and chronic night but her damn parents were worried about her bein an unwed mother and that “hurting her image”…wtf?
#45. Not necessarily. My parents raised 3 girls & did an excellent job. The key is being strict, but enabling them to have freedom & be theirselves. When you are overly strict on girls they rebel in the end.
I would be more afraid to raise a boy. All the violence & glamorization of gang/thug life. I would be afraid my son wouldnt come home alive.
On Topic: Solange, honey. Stay behind the scenes.
I’m not feelin either track, the vocals on ChampagneChronicNightcap we annoying as hell…
Wha Gwan Bashy,
Caff, Chellz, DDS
@ Lashonda why would anyone want to use bleachig cream.Your brainless comments really boggle the mind.
Practice what you preach. Because you responded. I dont exactly call that “moving on.” This is a blog/open forum. Where different people, state different opinions. Some opinions are often questioned/debated/brought up for discussion. You did have a point when you made that comment. Unless you’re one for writing pointless thoughts.
LMAOOOOOOOO CHRONIC, I DONT TALK LIKE DAT, BUT I LOVE TO GET GEEKED UP………..
Tanea (sp) always startin’ shit.

i knew it was you Melsius you aggressive whoe. Just tryna stir shit up by impersonating me. I know you want it but this time i’m not gonna give you the attention that you clearly ain’t getting from your “man”, successful career, 5 houses, cars, cribs, bling etc & whatever else you make up
