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

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

SOLANGE KNOWLES - 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?”

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.

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

chrisian

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 /

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…

26.

Fresh out the BOX

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 /

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!

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 /

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.

30.

Music Fanatic

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 /

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”.

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

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 /

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.

53.

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 /

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!

56.

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 /

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…

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!

59.

Melissa

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 /

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++

So many ppl are expecting 4 her 2 come out sounding like her sis, or Destiny’s Child & she’s got her own flavor. I alwayz kinda knew Solange had her own flavor, her own mind. Ppl alwayz link her w/her sister of course, but she has always stood aside, had her own style, and everything. Speaking of style I am SO feeling her style, the hair, the dresses the pics it’s all so damn different, and different is G~R~R~EAT! I’m proud of Solange, and am extremely excited 2 see how her album turnz out this year!! Congrats gurrlll,,,, looking like a Grammy is in ur near future!!

I LOVE Solange!!! I can’t wait for the album and I am def diggin all the songs I have heard from her so far. I really wish people would stop comparing her to Bey though, they obviously have 2 different styles and I am sure that she is not in competition with her sister. You can tell she just loves what she does and just wants to be heard and respected as an INDIVIDUAL..

65.

I’m still anxiously awaiting on her vid for I Decided! I’m loving her new stuff, it’s like a breath of fresh air. I’m liking the new sounds of new artists like Sol & Estelle (I agree # 49m her cd is great)!

66.

Wow, I’m liking this track. Her voice sounds better on this song than on ‘I Decided.’ I am really looking foward to her album. Finally, some good music!

This is really good, I actually like it and I am not easy to impress. However the choruses for her songs need to stand out more- thats my only criticism.

I love the fact that she finally seems out of her sisters shadow and her image is totally different, so is her sound. i think this will work for her.

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 /

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.

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.

Thursday, May 22, 2008 /

#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!
