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.

How’d she break her foot? She must’ve been dancing hard! or maybe trying to prance around like her sister do in those high heels. it ain’t for amatuer’s boo!! it take some practice to stand up right…lol.

That was a cute video.
1. It’s amazing how much she looks like her sister in some of those shots considering that usually they don’t favor each other much at all.
2. Is that Trenyce from American Idol as one of her backup singers?

This video did nothing for me. Solange looks so much like her father, poor girl. The song is just alright. i don’t see this getting any radio play. Tour? what the heck is she touring for?

solange is a TRUE artist and very creative. she thinks outside of the mainstream box which is always risky, but indicative of someone who has talent. anywho i love this song and the video was awesome. i hope this album is successful.

I can’t see them playing this song in any club….and i thought that if you don’t hit in the clubs real hard, then you flop….guess we’ll see once it’s released, cause right now, i don’t see where this song would fit into a teenagers world cause that’s who buying the cd’s.
I’ll take the wait and see approach on this project.

I really liked the video. For 1 because I think the 60’s and 70’s fashion is soo cool and 2 I like the fact that Solange is doing something different, she looked very glam without trying to be ultra sexy. I am looking forward to her cd

@ TS #37, I def do agree with you about some of the scenes in the background being a little to serious for such a light hearted song. I did do a wtf moment when I saw the water hose scene. If she wanted to put up scenes in the back ground of those times she shouldnt have put some of the worst moments for black people but instead some positives and light hearted material

At first I heard the song didn’t really like it. But now that I have seen the video, I am happy for her. I like the video and the song. If the song gets no radio play please the radio plays the same 10 songs every hour. That’s the problem there is no diversity in the radio if you don’t Sirius or XM. I heard one of Solo’s song on Sirius so I know they play her music. Letting the radio determine whats hot does not determine if the artist is hot. Some artist like Algebra, Raheem, and others who are so called out of the box still have major people at there concerts. I think the consumers need to take a stand on radio and let them know they are tired of hearing the same 10 songs. Lets get some effin radio diversity otherwise its just ringtone rap all day.

i loves it!
absolutely adore it. i’m so proud of her. a very different concept. i like how it’s so different, but it seems like she took much inspiration from some of big sis’s previous appearances [dreamgirls, 'greenlight' vid, her bun do for the future scene]. and she looks like bey too, but it’s b/c they’re sisters. she has set herself apart and i couldn’t be happier for her.

UMMM…..it was OKAY…..expected this type of performance from a teenager because it has a care-free feel to the song…..She got’s good genes though…

I agree with most of you; it’s cute. The only problem I have is that the video, song, and type of music coming from her are not necessarily indicative of her own creativity. More than likely, her production team (song writers, producers, video director) came up with these retro vibe. They pitch the ideas and she simply says ‘yay’ or ‘nay.’ Ya dig?

Also, her people seem to be pumping a lot of press for her project. Too bad Kelly didn’t get the same.

I had my doubts when I heard Solange was coming out with a second album. But I must say I love it. The song is very catchy and the video is very creative. She drew alot of inspiration from the music of the past eras. And to fully know how to create good music you have to know the history of music…So go Solange!

The only physical traits Beyonce and Solange have in common are complexion, ear size, and vaginas (haha). Otherwise, they look NOTHING alike. Solange is 201% Matthew Knowles in the face. Poor thing.

Her and Beyanka (Beyonce) looks so much alike, I personally think Solange looks better cause Beyanka is tooooooooo made up n fake looking…I hope i like her CD cause her Big Sis Cd was GARBAGE……….anywho untill Solange Cd drop i’ll keep bumping the new & hot ASHANTI (The Declaration)

To be honest, she ain’t doing nothing Beyonce’ hasn’t already played around with in Dreamgirls.
She needs to find another way to get out of Beyonce’s shadow cause she’s starting to look desperate…

I can’t believe solange broke her foot before the show and still performed. She is a soldier because if I would have gotten a paper cut….show cancelled. lol go head solo love the vid. I was on youtube and saw that live performance of I decided she did good considering she was in pain with that broken toe and foot. Work solo. Get it girl! Fuck the haters! Use them for motivaton!

Definately not BET, MTV or VH1 friendly, but she could find an audience overseas and with the Gnarls Barkley crowd but this is just to abstract for my tastes.
So she broke her foot… I guess the Knowles sisters both have problems walking, lol.

Yeah I kinda like the song. The video is very nice and different. But seriously if I am going to listen to a Knowles, it’s gonna ben Beyonce ( and that’s no often).
I am over the family of stars bit, Jessica/Ashley - Lindsey/Ally
There will never be another Jackson Duo - Michael & Janet
