♫ HOT OR NOT: SOLANGE’S “SANDCASTLE DISCO”

Solange is gearing up for the release of her video for the first single off her sophomore album, SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dream. In the mean time, music has been leaking from the project and it’s getting me super excited. After hearing a couple of tracks, I just realize that Solange is really just trying to bring something new, different and fresh. Something that people just wouldn’t expect from her.

On “Sandcastle Disco,” Solange explores a little bit of ’60′s and ’70′s soul and dance/electronica music. Solange compares her fragile emotions to a sandcastle, pleading her love not to “blow her away.” A very interesting concept. It’s got a really feel-good vibe to it. But what do you think?

SO, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT “SANDCASTLE DISCO?”

  13. Juicy SuperStar

    A great crossover song…

    I like it…

  14. Lady Architect

    I love the beat and the words. It’s a fun feel good type of song. I have to be honest I don’t really like her vocal skills with any of the material premiered. I love the direction she’s going though, but I wish the beat and her songwriting skill had been done for someone else.

  15. (_!+0

    I LIKE IT ALOT, I HEARD THIS WHEN U POSTED THE SNIPPET A MINUTE AGO, NOW I GOT IT FOR MY IPOD YESSSSS!! LOLOL.

  16. Sheen Bean

    I like this song! She’s def. bringing something new to the table. Get it Solange!

  17. Cortney

    this song is okay to me. I agree with #16 though, Champaign Chronic Nightcap is my JAM.

  18. Bored

    I like!!!! the beat and the words are blowing my away. Beyonce better watch out for Lil Sis.

    Trying To Bring Something New? Solo Always Worked Out Of Her Own Box! Whether Good Or Bad.

  20. chrisian

    I like her sound but I think her image needs to be tweeked a little bit, I really think she should go shorter in hair lenght and find a more softer color!!! I think her body type should be put in more form fitting clothing!!! I am digging the futuristic look but it needs to be constructed more thoroughly, the swagger in some of the pics is not there… She needs to own it more!!!!! IMHO… BUT I WISH HER LUCK…

  21. Fresh out the BOX

    I live for Solange right now. It’s a fresh and cool sound that will take off like a wild fire. I knew she had something special when I heard I Decided, I couldn’t stop tapping my feet (lol). Keep doing it Solange I’m loving the ole’ school vibe!

  22. chrisian

    TWEAKED…. LENGTH…. HA HA….

  23. ThatGirlLinda

    I think its okay. Its definitely not something I would wanna hear over and over.

  24. Solange does actually sound like Beyonce here. But anyways, this song is HOT!! Solange is VERY Independent and you tell she has her own mind, thats what I love about her. She’s fine with being different.

  25. Music Fanatic

    I give credit where its due, this sounds really good. The beat and lyrics are fresh and upbeat. I could see this being a hit for her. This should be the 2nd single after “I Decided”.

  26. icon

    @15 when it first came on i was thinking the same thing.lol…and to all u haters i love solo always have, and will be supporting album!!!!

  27. slim.goodies

    i cant even lie the song deserves props
    HOWEVER, I just personally dont like Solange
    I don kno why . . .

  28. Dame

    I like it go Solange is bringing something different to the game it is refreshing.

  29. YEAH BABY!!!!

    THE BEAT IS FFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

    DO THAT SHIT SOLO!!!

  30. Miss T

    It’s about time…I knew she had the tools to bring the house down! It is so good to see and hear some fresh stuff!

  31. slim.goodies

    lmao @ # 15
    and i agree .
    && yea like sum ppl r sayin
    if she had a very defined swagg
    like Rihanna or somebody
    may be i’d be interested.
    In order for her to do good
    I think she needs to really
    find her niche.
    Not just musically
    but the way she dresses.
    The hair. everything.
    Its all about perception
    && First impresions LAST

  32. obama~honey

    I really like the sound. I truly think she has something here. It is different……but in a GOOD way. I bet her video will be real cute…..go Solo…

  33. DiannaMarie

    Can’t wait for the album! The new music is so new and refreshing. Im loving everything shes putting out this time….. Way better than the last album.

  34. african_queen

    WOW solange is coming up she literally blew me away with this throwback song…definitely going to jam…kelly should take note on solange step towards music…be different

  35. Interesting song. It’s ok. Not something I would jam to over and over again, but I like where she is going with the song.

  36. H-Town Chic***

    I can’t hear it cause I’m at work but I look forward to it! I wish her the best!!!!

  37. In that picture she has the “Smiling With Your EYES” down doesn’t she? LOL! I blame Tyra (Banks)!

  38. MISS THANG

    i SOOOO like this!!

  39. kaykay

    U had this song on here alredy but hey-i’m nobody to step on b’s excitement :) it’s cool. very pop friendly-might do gr8 on TRL-i hope they nail the video…

  40. That’s nice right there. I need something like this to listen to during these summer roadtrips.

  41. kaykay

    lol all day long at whoever said beyonce better watch out.

  42. vdub

    This song is hot. I really like it. But it sounds like beyonce sang it for her and she just recorded it lol… But who cares it sounds so good…

  43. kris"e"tina

    i love it! it’s so different… i can appreciate artists like her and estelle (her cd is great), they bring something new to the table

  44. J.D.H

    I love this song. Every song that’s leaked just makes me so happy!
    it’s beautiful Love heaven to my ears!

  45. Touchofhoney

    I like this…… I have always liked Solange even way back when she had the track with Nore!

  46. LaDiosa

    Every song that I’ve heard from Solange so far, I really like. Whereas Beyonce is very pretty and is a good entertainer, but I don’t like most of her songs. Maybe if Solange can step up her fashion game, she could be bigger than her sister.

  47. jus my opinion

    i like it

  48. lesa

    I’m really digging Solange’s new stuff very soulful. And I love the fact that she has her own style. Go Solange!!!

  49. lovelee

    I like! I hope Solange has found a niche here. No matter what she sounds like her sis but on this track I don’t feel like I’m listening to Bey impersonator. Good luck to her! I hope her album blows up!

  50. Greg Parker

    I LOVE this song..reminds me of something I made a while back…very melodic…her album should be interesting…I copped the first joint on the day it came out, lol….I used to have a crush on her when I was younger, LOL…

  51. LAQUANDA

    WELL HONESTLY WEN I SAW DA NAME OF IT I GIGGLED THEN WAS LIKE “I MUST LISTEN 2 DIS” DA NAME OF IT IS FUNNI BUT I LISTENED WOW, DIS SONG IS CRAZY, I REALLY LUV IT! NEVA JUDGE A BOOK BY ITZ COVER ;)

  52. JKidd21

    I’m feelin this track from Solange got a feel good summer groove it’s not anything u hear on the radio. Can’t wait for the new album to see what else she has up her sleeve!

  53. Melissa

    Wow.

    Solange is definitely getting it!! This song really does just make you feel good and smile. It’s got that good ‘ol vibe and it’s got a cute message. I must admit, some of her leaked songs have been really iffy to me, but this is strong. I think she’s what music needs…I just hope the industry and consumers will be receptive to her.

    GREAT song. A++

  54. The Good Girl...

    oooh yessss!!!
    omg. love solange’s sound and can’t wait for SoL-AngeL and the Hadley Street Dreams to drop!
