♫ STUFF: SOLANGE BLOGS + ANOTHER PROMO PIC

Thursday, April 17, 2008

Solange Knowles put up a recent blog this week and spoke about her new album as well as her current inspirations. She also released a couple other shots from her new promo set via her myspace photo album. The photo above is so much better than the other one, which was photoshopped to the max.

Solange opted to address the whole yellow make-up thing (that many of you clowned her for) with a subtle quote - “YEAH, I LIKE YELLOW … ALOT” under her photo caption. Anyway, peep what she wrote on her blog..

I READ A QUOTE FROM KANYE WEST THE DAY I MADE THE DRIVE OUT TO THE BEACH.
HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT ONLY DOING THINGS THAT MADE HIM HAPPY (DONT QUOTE ME) HE SAID HE DIDNT CARE WHEN HE MADE THE FLASHING LIGHTS VIDEO THAT OTHER PEOPLE MAY NOT LIKE IT. I SAY GO KAYNE!

I FEEL THAT WAY:)

ONE DAY AT THE BEAUTIFUL BEACH, WATCHING THE OCEAN CRASH INTO WAVES AND THE SKY CHANGE FROM DAY TO NIGHT AND THE SUN SET AND THE MOON RISE SHOWED ME THIS MIRACLE WE CALLED LIFE IS BRAND NEW AGAIN FOR ME.

WE SPEND SO MUCH TIME FOCUSING ON THE FRAGILE AND DELICATE THINGS IN LIFE
THAT WE FORGET THAT GRAVITY IS HOLDING US UP AT THIS VERY MOMENT, THAT OCEANS ARE ENDLESS, AND THERES AN ENTIRE LIFE UNDER THE SEAS THAT WE DONT EVEN KNOW ABOUT.

LAST WEEK, I RELEASED MY 1RST SINGLE, “I DECIDED” ON THE PAGE. (THERE HAD BEEN MINI SNIPPETS AND LONGER MINI SNIPPETS SURFING AROUND THE WEB, AND THIS IS THE FULL VERSION)

THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDTHS PEOPLE WHO HAVE HEARD IT AND SO MANY OF YOU HAVE SHOWN QUITE A KEEN REACTION. BIG THANKS!

I HAVE BEEN SO INSPIRED BY THE MUSIC OF THE 60′S AND THE 70′S AND IT DEFINITELY SHOWCASES IN THIS RECORD. I MADE THIS RECORD PREPARED KNOWING THIS ISN’T YOUR TYPICAL FORMATED “RADIO SONG” AND THERES NOT MUCH OUT LIKE IT NOW ,BUT IT FELT SO GOOD AND NATURAL FOR ME IM RUNNING WITH IT. PHARRELL GAVE ME THE BLESSING OF THE RECORD AND FROM THE MINUTE I RECORDED IT, IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THE SIMPLICITY AND THE UPBEAT VIBE THAT JUST MADE ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT. I HAVE FAITH THAT PEOPLE ARE READY FOR A CHANGE AND DIVERSITY AND AN INTELLIGENT EAR AND I HOPE THIS RECORD CAN FIT INTO THAT MOLD. [source]
