VIDEO: SOLANGE - “I DECIDED”

Thursday, June 5, 2008

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 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.

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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

Original Truth (I don't care if ya get mad)

Thursday, June 5, 2008 /

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..

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.

32.

yes we can

Thursday, June 5, 2008 /

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….

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!

36.

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’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

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.

look at lil beyonce!

she shouldve been casted in dream girls rather than beyonce, solange looks more like diana than beyonce does

I see alot of Diana Ross, Eryka Badu and pieces of Asa’s Fire on the mountain in this video..it’s okay though solange can’t sing.

65.

WARNING:OPIONATED

Thursday, June 5, 2008 /

I liked it. Only issue I had with it was that at the end it added to much to the video and threw it off the balance it was on..I like the 60’s to the 70’s to the 80’s theme then the end came and I was like…OK? I dont get it did she step into the millenium or something? lol…otherwise it was cute.. Go miss Sol-Angel

66.

The video is cute…but the song is okay. I liked a couple of the other songs I heard from her upcoming cd…but not quite feeling this one.

I have to say that I really like what I have heard from this album…I may have to actually go and get a copy! The direction of her music is great, it is like nothing that is out now and I like it. I am excited for her and I really wish her success.

She looks fab in the video, and it is refreshing to see something different - and not these carbon copy, cookie cutter hits that hit the radio now days. I decided is a great tune, and I wouldn’t mind seeing more from Solange. Go girl!

I think the song ’s production is taking things way too far back. It’s not a banger for my car or the club or even to relax too.

Thursday, June 5, 2008 /

I absolutely loved it! There were certain points where I saw her sister in her, but all around, Solange has created a wonderfully UNIQUE feel, sound, and voice for herself!
