♫ HOT OR NOT: SOLANGE’S “SANDCASTLE DISCO”
Wednesday, May 21, 2008

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?”
Check out Solange on MySpace if you’re digging the sounds, and make sure you check out SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dream!

I’ve liked a lot of the songs I’ve heard so far but this one is boring. I don’t get the groove is in the heart comparisons but whatever.

I voted “not” just because I’m not feeling the song. I think “I Decided” was way better. I understand she’s putting herself on this album AND she has an eclectic soul BUT I hope the whole cd doesn’t have an oldie vibe. I mean she can pull it off SOMETIMES but I haven’t been convinced she can pull it off ALL the time.

I’m sorry…….i’m not feeling this song AT ALL! What is she talking about here? The beat is the only good thing about this song….Solange’s weak voice does nothing for me.

This is definitely a family reunion electric slide song! LOL! Man she is bringing it. All her songs so far could be singles. I will cop the album! Pay for it? Maybe. But definitely copping it.

Wow…I gotta say that I am impressed with this song…I really was not expecting much from Solage, musically. I am actually interested in hearing what else is on the album. I am glad she went in a different direction, musically, than her sister. Now, maybe she can get some shine.

Love it. I thought she might try to mimic her sister.I’m glad she is her own artist. I really think with that voice she would do great in the electronica world also.

#52 Beyonce is the making of a legend, so Solange will never be bigger than her sister. However she can be her own successful artist. I am really feeling this song, surprisingly. I wish her luck.

I absolutley love her music right now. I went in with a neutral mind. i bought her last albumn and i have toadmitt it wasnt so hot i was pulling for her tho. Any how all the music that is leaking out is really cool and im happy about her sound its refreshing even tho it sounds familiar you cant quit deciefer where you’ve heard it before. Maybe i like it so much becasue it reminds me of a person that i am, what ever the case maybe its hot mane and she bout to tear shit up. My favorite track tho has to be champaignchronicnightcap with Wayne ,and my other would be i think the song is called Moonlight. Its sexual but its not corny sexual its grown woman sexxy, you can tell its real. Ya’ll should check it out. oh and for the haters if you aint got it by now you stupid the girl aint goin no where she only gettin more popular the more you run ya mouth lol! ya’ll make me laugh mane and dats trill….

I am jealous of drummer on video.I want to audition for The Dreams.Solange is incedibly beautiful on vid,and backup singer to her left is too cute for words.The song is one of the best pop tunes of the year,and should get nominated for best female vocal.I keep going back to youtube to watch every couple of days and am glad it’s still available.I’m not a fan of what I term chick rock,yet this song and video transend any genre,because it’s so damn adorable.You know you do that to all the boys Solange! Nice Job!
