Solange, who recently broke her foot on tour, premiered her video on BET’s Access Granted. In the video, Solange looks absolutely beautiful and draws from inspiration from different decades, traveling from the ’60′s to the ’80′s and into the future. A few weeks ago, Solange shot the video in Los Angeles (click here to check out behind the scenes footage), and was directed by Melina, who has worked with Snoop, Ne-Yo and her big sis Beyonce.
Solange recently started her own blog (HADLEYSTREETJOURNAL.COM), so make sure you check it out to get exclusive pics and updates from the singer.
SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams is set to hit stores August 26th.
i seen the making of this video last night on BET…the songs kinda cool; nothing what i was expecting from solange so thats a good foot forward i guess…
its cool kinda
Very cute video I really enjoyed the history parts in the video. Go Solange do your thing girl.
I love the song, it has an old school sound to it. It is very different from what is out now.
Jazzy tune, that I could listen to while driving…it’s ok…I guess it has to grow on me…expected much more from the video standpoint.
Does she REALLY look “absolutely beautiful” in this video? I’m sorry, man – I just keep listening to this song and thinking that it’s not remixed.. like this is a rough cut or something.
Solange better WERQ IT. I love this video!
I actually really like the song. The video was nice with the history behind it. I like that she’s going in a different direction that everyone else isn’t going in. I wish her the best of luck though. I also hope she heals quickly.
I liked it. Very creative especially the 80′s part. I like the fact that she is going in the opposite direction of her sister. Very important and similar to what Ashley Simpson did in an deffort to get out from under the shadow of her big sis Jessica Simpson.
I hope she’s just as successful. GO SOLANGE!
Wow…top 10…look out…lmao
I Beggining To Wonder Bout These Stage Peop, Are They Setting Traps For The Knowles Sisters. Just Kidding
Cool song and vid. Go head Solange!!
Wow, she really did her thing with this. The video is vibrant and was illustrated really well. I was thinking the video for this sonfgwas gonna be centered around a house party or something because of the lyrics, but she really stepped outside the box with this an didn’t do the typical R&B video theme. The only thing I din’t like about it was the women in the beginning dancing in their underwear. They could have been left out. But other than that this video is cute and creative. Go ‘head Solange.
Cool video. Love the song. I’m looking forward to hearing the rest of her album
Can’t wait for Solange’s Record to drop…. Check Me Out
why?
Solange looks beautiful in the video. The song is very different with whats out now which is cool. I can see little girls loving this! I like the 70′s Soul Train look the best. Very great video.
Am I the only one who isn’t really feeling this video…..a bit too much going on in there.
The video keeps stalling but from what I can see it’s different and I like that. I absolutely love this song as well as sandcastle disco. I’m excited about her forth coming album.
This song has really grown on me, I actually love it!
Really good video, but solange looks sooo much like her dad!!! Poor thing.
Love the fact that she’s finally stepping out of her sisters shadow with this album, comgrats to her.
the video actually made me like the song more. i guess its a go.

THAT WASN’T UNDERWEAR, THOSE WEAR BATHING SUITS, THAT WAS FOOTAGE FROM THE PAST. ANYWAY, I LOVE THE SONG AND I DOWNLOADED THE VIDEO, LOVED IT TOO!
I’ve been waiting, and it was worth it! I loved the song the first time I heard and the video is hot! I actually like the Freemasons remix better though.
I like the song and the video with the history in it. It shows that she put thought into her video.
Sol-Angel can get it!!!! I like the fact that she took the road less traveled.
Love it! The video is fun and the song is catchy I think that was a good marriage! She looks beautiful I love the different looks. Her and Beyonce are looking more and more alike as time passes but Solange has doe eyes!! *2 1/2 mics*. Iwould have to hear one or two more before I commit to a purchase! But I am interested so we will see what happens! lol..
Nice song and video.
i love it, it’s part of the whole 60,s early 70,s revival thats been going on the last few yrs in Europe now it’s here.. thanks to Amy Wino-house
NOPE !!!!!! TO MUCH LIKE DREAMGIRLS….. SORRY
The video’s alright. I like the direction she’s going in, The song just needs to grow on me
About time we see stuff we can be proud of, when you have talent you dont have to disrespect your self to prove something just let what you have flow……
Nice song and nice video. The music industry has era’s that they go through, and we have been stuck in a terrible one lately where real talent does not exist anymore just looks and words with a beat and people call them superstars.
The video is cute and different, I like people that do things like that. It really gets to me how Beyonce is actually her sister and she’s like the only girl NOT trying to be her.
im happy that she did her thing and her sister’s name was only mention once
if it was kelly beyonce would have been sitting right there on the set with her0….
those knowles bitches, break an arm, break a leg, let an arm fall off….and the show must go on!
oh and I agree with miss pearl, it sounds like a rough cut… but I like her other songs
solange sound more educated then beyonce and i also think that she could look better if she wasnt down played!
Vid. was cool, but everything that’s supposed to be “different” has already been done before. I don’t know what she’s trying to prove, but it all seems a bit contrived. She’s trying too hard to make herself out to be a REAL talent, and I don’t believe it.
………………….
NOPE !!!!!! TO MUCH LIKE DREAMGIRLS….. SORRY
Beyonce lent her some moves from the ‘One Night Only’ dance sequence in ‘Dreamgirls’ for the disco scene.
Am I the only one that thought the video had a Dreamgirl esq vibe to it?
I dunno.
I love the song, the video was a okay I guess. I just think that the flashes in the background were a bit too serious for a song like this. I mean the fire hose in the background, black people being sprayed by hoses all awhile Solange is laughing in singing—am I the only one that went… “WTF?”
I like it!
No Solange! Sorry!
RETURN TO SENDER: DO NOT WANT!
I’m loving it. Its a breath of fresh air and the woman is going right when everyone is so obviously left. I appreciated the history behind the music and wish more “artists” (loose terms here people) would venture out and create more, rather than just think about the fastest way to make a dollar! Go head Solange…do that ish do that ish do it! LOL
this vid was better than the whole bday dvd.. (except green light..that was on point)
glad solange can make a name for herself
I realLY actually LIKe heR this video Is Great i loved what the director did with it!!! adn i love the song… I hope she does Well this time around !!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOLANGE must have choreographed this herself, she has no grace, good concept, bad execution…
Its not the flow of the music now a days but I like the song. She sounds good!!!
Solange worked that! Lovely!
I loved it! She’s most def doing her thang! I like how different it is. Go Solange!
I want a Sandcastle Disco video though. That song is my shit right about now!!!!
yea..i saw thiz last nite on Access Granted.
luv tha song n’ muzik vid.
i jst realy luv how her muzik vid iz soo creative.
mi fav part iz wen she’s in space.

but otha than that..
her style n’ swagg iz soo different.
i jst luv that abt her.

Only got to see the first 5sec’s and I LOVE IT already! Most definitely one of my favorite’s of her new tracks!!!

When and What was she doing in KC? I did’nt know she was in town.
#47, That song is hot!
me likey!!! me likey alot!!!
Solange is just like Jessica Simpson sister–your sister was first and you will always be in the back ground, and you will always be compared to your big sister, and just like Ashley Simpson you can’t sing either, but your pimp daddy insist on trying to make you a star. Wake up honey–you are not the next big thing.
i love it… she is no beyonce but thats whats so great about her… I love this song and this video!!!
i like
The video is cute I liked it and they song is okay
she sounds like a person imitating Beyonce…a person who can’t sing, btw. And she’s not so easy on the eyes…
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE VIDEO… The song is just ok to me… I know it enough but its not the greatest… But I think she stepped up from what I was expecting….
@37…..LMAO… I was thinking the same thing…I like the song and I hope she does well…other than T.I’s ‘Paper Trail’ this is the only other cd Im checking for this summer
