MUSIC NEWS: SOLANGE’S TOP SELLING SINGLE / MORE CIARA ALBUM NEWS / DANITY KANE SHOOTS SECOND VIDEO

Wednesday, July 2, 2008

Singer/songwriter Solange enjoys her #1 spots Billboard’s “Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales” chart and the “Hot Dance Singles Sales” chart for her first single, “I Decided” from her forthcoming sophomore album, SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams. The new project, which Solange has described as a melting pot of ’60’s and ’70’s soul, with bits of electronica, is being released via Music World/Geffen Records on August 26th.

Solange - I Decided

The album features a host of huge names, which Solange said she really had to seek out for the project. Cee-Lo co-wrote the second single, “Sandcastle Disco,” which features Q-Tip and production from Soulshock & Karlin. I’m glad to see that Solange’s new project is being well recieved, as well as her live performances. Solange just wrapped up the “Art of Love” tour and is putting the finishing touches on the album. So if you’re digging what you’ve heard so far, make sure you pick up SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams in August!

In the mean time, check out Solange’s blog, hadleystreetjournal.com.

MORE CIARA ALBUM NEWS

Our good friends at Rap-up.com have acquired some news on Ciara’s third album, Fantasy Ride, which we’ve been talking about for some time now. Ciara recently went into the studio with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins to punch out some songs for the LP. We’ve also learned that she’s set to collaborate with T-Pain and long-time friend and contributor, Lil’ John.

The new record is said to be a concept album, centered around 3 cities. Each “city” will have it’s own disk, with 4 to 5 songs, each with their own direction. “Groove City” will feature songs similar to that of the single from her last album, “Promise,” while “Crunktown” will be more reminiscent of Ciara’s debut album, Goodies (Lil’ John’s tracks will probably fit in here), while Ciara will hit heavy with hard beats and dance tracks on the appropriately titled, “Kingdom of Dance.”

Originally slated for a September release, Ciara has pushed the album back to drop in November, with a lead single dropping sometime in July. The label originally announced “High Price,” featuring Ludacris as the first single, but Ciara wants to go a different direction. A video is going to be released for the single in August.

DANITY KANE SHOOTS SECOND VIDEO

Danity Kane, who debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts with their latest album, Welcome to the Dollhouse has just finished shooting their second video for the second single, “Bad Girl,” featuring Missy Elliott. It’s about time, ladies!

It was originally reported that the girls of DK were set to play along side professional female wrestlers in the video, but it seems as though the Erik White-directed clip (he’s worked with Chris Brown and Keyshia Cole) will feature the girls as butt-kicking femme fatale alter egos.

“It’s on fire,” Aubrey O’Day told MTV News on the Los Angeles set of the “Bad Girl” video. “Five-inch heels, massive choreography — Gil Duldulao is our choreographer, and he’s worked with Janet Jackson. He’s fab.”

I’m excited to see what the girls come up with this time around, because the second video has just been a long time coming for this second video.

Wow! I am a bit suspect of the Solange # 1. The song is ok but hardly at the top of the heap. Methinks this is a bit of a marketing ploy to make folks think they are “in” for purchasing the Solange cd. I wish her the best but I believe someone misoke on this one.

Charden

Thursday, July 3, 2008 /

I knew it! Have y’all been to Billboard to check the people Solange beat to number 1? It’s not like even one of the real charts. LMAO! She rose above: Envy, Mikey Wilde Feat. Mcallee King, Mike Jacobs featuring Beau Dilly, Nottie Brasco, to name a few. I mean there is no Alicia Keys, Keyshia Coles,Rihanna, Usher or anyone relevent on the whole chart. Hell, the Solange probably sold 100 cds to the 50 + the others sold. I swear Matt paid Billboard to make up that chart. LOL! The Hot Dance chart has old songs by Mariah and Madonna, but for the most part more unknowns that will never be. Y’all almost made me spend my money for nothing. I knew that ish she was putting out couldn’t hold water on real charts. Still, I may just buy it to support her effort. Lil Daniel needs a new pair of shoes. I’ll give it away as a stocking stuffer or something at Christmas. I always liked that girl. There’s a spirit in her that her sister will never know.

i wish tht Ciara will do ehr best and i’m excited for Solange cuz i didnt think she’d get that much attention but hey everyone needs their shine and if Bey and Ci relase they albums on the same day i think Ci will sell more because Bey is gettin borin sad and annoyin no offense but yeas Ciara is switching it up totally and i want 2 hear more vocals from Ciara tho cuz i looooooooooooooooooooove her so i wanna hear her really blow like seriously do some crazy high notes do real notes and stop holding back plllllzzzzzzzz Ci do it for me lolz

^^^^Charden go put a bag over your head and breathe deep. You sound retarded. Matthew is not that powerful. Face it she is #1. Cry a river, build a bridge, and get over it.

And #148 that’s called opinion boo. That’s certainly not a fact. People love Beyonce because she is a great performer. She is the only one that can sing and dance at the same time and give a hot show. That’s why she made so much money off her tour. So it is not all marketing. People pay to see her.

Them Knowles got some of ya’ll mad as hell. LMAO I love it.

158.

lmao

Thursday, July 3, 2008 /

Tymeek the same goes for you. Ciara can’t even outsell Rihanna. So there is no way she is going to sell even half as much as Beyonce who has sold over 100 mill in her overall career. Come back to planet Earth sweetie. If Beyonce was so bored and annoying then she wouldn’t be #4 on Forbes right now. Your favorite artist dont come close.

LMAO Keep making people mad Bey and family.LOL

@158, hasn’t Ciara sold more than Rhianna already with just TWO albums? what are you talking about? I agree, she might not be able to outsell Bey but shes ahead of Rhianna, atleast.

Desperate times call for Solange, I can’t believe their family are up to it again. This reminds me of why we had to go to Iraq, desperate indeed.

#175 is crazy

Saturday, July 5, 2008 /

#175 you are psycho. You need professional help seriously. There are plenty of artists I don’t like but you go to the extreme. You have that much hatred for someone you have never even met? That is not normal.
Solange still has a #1 song and Beyonce is still on top of the game no matter what you and her other psycho haters do. Get some help.

Charden, you are exactly what is wrong with the music industry today. Please tell me you are some dumb 13 year old or something…

“Y’all almost made me spend my money for nothing.”

Why would you go and buy a song just because someone told you it went #1. Buy music that you like. People are way too obsessed with sales and forget that the point is to buy music that you like.

Im looking forward to Ciara stuff love seeing her dance I think she is the best female dancer… altho some stuff of her may remind you of Janet or late Aaliyah none of them ever did crunk n b and the dance moves she done which really seperates anyone from her and they arent in her leauge im just saying! DK I really dont care about them… I hate Solanges old material but def. loving this new material she has and the ol skool feel to it! Congrats to her!
