LOVED SOLANGE FROM SOLO STAR DAYS MATE!

Now that I’ve heard the album I don’t think I’ll buy it. But I do love some of the music. Go Solo.

Will download the good songs. Not buying the album. Good job solo.

I’m not a fan of Solange so I know I won’t be buying the album.. The only thing I like about her is that she’s different. Not feelin’ her sound at all..

Liking the music but won’t be buying. Go Solange.

I don’t know about buying it yet. But, I am impressed with the baby girl’s presentation, although she may want to lift up on working ad naseum to be the anti-Beyonce. Afterall, being like Bey is not a bad thing in a few circles. She can learn some things from her big sis. Like Rihanna’s cd-which I just snagged-I will have to wait and see. Solange, unlike many artists out there is more artistic than commercial; and, I like that. So, I may give it for Christmas presents to my nieces.

I’ve always loved Solange.I remember when her first album came out I was in high school and fell in love with it.Her career sort of reminds me of Nievea,both of them are so talented and have great albums but are often times overlooked because of the singers that are more popular.I just don’t think people like change,they’d rather listen to the same thing because it’s safe.

And this album right here is proof that she is anything but safe,and I like that.

@72,your comment was just immature and childish.calling people stupid because they like an artist you dont?and who cares if only a few people cop the album,i wish people would stop basing shit off of sales…Sales do not prove if an artist is talented or not,thats been proven time and time again….

Ok, this will be my last comment in this site b/c u have to go thru 50million ads before u can comment…..so thats my comment

Love Solange, Love the album! BUT…my absolute favorite song called “Wanna Go Back” feat Marsha from Floetry and Q-Tip is not on here!!!!! **tear** Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOTbgkwGFf8

Ok so I’m completely surprised and am starting to feel like she’s been writing so long that she’s probably the brains behind the knowles operation… ok ok ok jokes— but I love this album and The Bird is a classic sample from the Canda Bears…not to mention the stuff she’s actually saying in that song- gangsta. She won’t be confined and plans to soar, just let her be ala the whole chorus including “… i’m not in denial, i’m not suicidal, not an alcoholic and i’m not out here ho’in’ so just shut the f**k up…” soooo feeling her.

oh ps. I’m not on the Knowles payroll, thanks. lol

lol at comment 33, r u haitian, what u know about la pou bell. anyhoo, i mos def want 2 cop the album. go team solange. imo she does what she wants 2 do and that is y im really feeling her. also i love f**K the industry and champagne chronic nightcap

lol at round the way girl diva… too funny. Altho, your nieces might steal your Rihanna and toss the Solange cd. lol

Solange brought the heat on this album I’m been jamming the it since last week when I downloaded all the songs (but still buying it on tuesday). I didn’t know she had that much talent and her range is crazy. She is a sick songwrither and her album is way better than her sister’s last album. I don’t think this album will have commerical success but it will certainly have critical acclaim. One of the best soul albums by anyone I have heard in a long time. Do yo thing SOLANGE!!!!

I LOVE THE ALBUM, BUT I THOUGHT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ALBUM REVIEW, NOT A BIO…….?????

Solo’s sound is definitely different right now, but, I does not move me to buy the CD. I like, “I Decided” though. I wish her much success too. Go Solo!!!!!

I LIKE HER MUSIC. SOMETHING DIFFERENT. CONCRETELOOP SURE IS GIVING HER A LOT OF PRESS THOUGH. LOL

I love her songs, she definitely has more soul than Beyonce. Her voice is just stronger to me. She won’t get as big because she doesn’t have Jay-Z behind her back but she will make a mark in the hip-hop industry. Let’s just wish her luck in sales.

I love the entire album… I love it

always some ignorant folks or here that spoil the moment, lol but not everybody that said they didn’t like the album, i mean, people do have different taste, but going as far as to say people that are giving the album good reviews are on her payola, and saying shes gonna flop is just crazy, and like she said before, shes not trying to be mainstream or sell like beyonce, shes doing it because she loves it and she should at least get respect for that.

I really haven’t paid attention to Solange in the past. I mean, I didn’t really have an opinion or interest in her. I’d just read what I saw here and move on. Well, I decided to listen (and watch the video) to that Sandcastle Disco and I LOVE IT! I spent all day painting (ooh, I HATE painting!) and just kept singing the chorus. Now, I don’t get the video (I’m just not into the look of those sixties type vids with the corny, cheesy looking special effects) but I like the song. I also don’t buy a lot of music but I will more than likely buy her album. Good job, girl!

Solagne album is fiiiiiyah can’t wait for it to drop in the stores

sorry, meant to say *Boards of Canada not Canada Bears… my bad.

Okay, ive had this album since tuesday and although i like it i find that if you listen too much it starts to sound like she wailing, also Solange needs to extend her vocal ability past regular and falsetto. The reason that i make these comments is that she isn’t a new artist so her ability really should’ve improved.
In terms of herself, i’m just about tired of all this individual talk. In interviews in the U.K she clearly trying to hard and it’s coming across. When she talks about her clothes not matching some of us remember the run of the mill blonde weave and matching outfits she wore not that long ago, if she’s now found herself, good, but there’s no need to keep going on about it.

The stand out tracks for me are T.O.N.Y, Dancing in the Dark, Would’ve been the one, Valentines Day & I Told You So - although i enjoy it as a whole

I’m a guy, and I’m just sick n tired of pop music. I haven’t listened to the radio in years b/c thats all they play, mainstream commercial BULLs***. It would be an abomination, BLASPHEMY if I ever bought a pop album, don’t matter if its hip hop (which is simply pop nowadays), R&B pop, country pop, or Pop Pop. Mary J, Mariah carey,Snoop Dogg, Rihanna, Chris Brown, LL cool J, its all Pop commerical music. And it kills hme.

So can I PLEASE get some real soul music? I’m actually diggin Solange’s new style, we can easily say its just a gimmick, but i think creatively she’s tried to be different from her sister, who I couldn’t imagine buying an album from.

Only problem I have with Solange is her VOICE. Its not soulful enough. She strains a lot and thats only painful to my ears. Id like to buy her album, because I’m desperate for SOUL MUSIC. But her voice just doesnt do for me what I want it to do.

But I still wish her success. Its always good to be different. That makes you special and worth the trouble.

For the few fucking losers on her hating on her, why the fuck r u even on here, when u know most people commenting like it????

Maybe if u stepped out of that narrow ass box u put yourself into musically maybe u would appreciate it.

Yall talk about it flopping? Typical simple minded negro mentality STFU bitches. A bunch of zombies who cant even have their own taste in music unless its on the radio or on TV. Are record sales ALL u fuckers can think about????

Solange’s talent is wasted on the likes of you.

Sales DO NOT always mean someone is great!!!!!!!! Get that right dumb bastards (those hatin on her). Soulja Boy sold, does that make him great????!!!!!!

solange wants the lose the title as beyoncce’s sis but this album isn’t doing anything for me. The weird thing is that she wrote some of beyonce’s music on b day like upgrade and songs from the past but she can’t seem to write good tracks for herself. Well atleast she’s trying. Coming out of the shadow of beyonce is going to take a lot of work.

I aint hating in her .Infact it must be real tricky to try and come out of the shdow of b .That would make some sisters jealous and envious and for her to think positive and aspire the be in her sisters shoes is a great thing. I give her credit for that. I like the theme for the album ,the kind of supremes/80’s theme.

OH MY MY, I FEEL SO ASHAMED BACK IN THE DAY THE WAY I USED TO DISS SOLANGE ABOUT HSSE WONT MAKE IT IN THE MUSIC INDUSRTY I ALWAYS THOUGHT SHE WILL JUST BE (SEEN) IN BEYONCE’S SHADOW FOR LIFE…BUT ITS GOOD BIG SIS MOVED OUT THE WAY AND 1000% TRUE SHE CLAIMING HERSELF N INDIDIVUALLITY TO THE WORLD AND IM HER BIGGEST FAN SO FAR WITH NO DOUBT IM FEELING THE CHANGE OF MUSIC SHE BRINGS ITS REAL N ORIGINAL! GO SOLANGE! BRIAN CAN YOU SEND MY APOLOGIES TO SOLANGE PLZ!!! AND I WILL FEEL MUCH MUCH BETTER!!

I listened to the album on MySpace and it’s a strong second effort, but honestly, it’s a 7 out of 10. I definitely look forward to seeing her develop as an artist over the next couple of years. In the mean time, I’ll pass on this album, it was cool, but not good enough to purchase and rock to daily.

#68……I totally agree!!! cause this album is all right but she doesn’t have enough soul to sing these records…..her voice is not heavy enough to sing songs like this…..These album lacks substance and sounds like a carbon copy of Amy Winehouse…..well they tried anyways……..But there is no one else out to rival her so people are gonna love it…..Where is are the real singers!!!??????………..Somebody with some SOUL…………………HURRRY UP AND COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!

I’m gonna check out her cd it’s only 6.98 at Target so I’m going to get that and Tha Game’s LAX …

Damn her whole album leak or something? Anywho I like her originality, may cop this. I LOVE ‘I Decided’.

I thnk solange iz a great talented solo artist. N she duznt need beyonce 2 b successful n her name iz “SOLANGE NOT BEYONCE’S LIL SISTA” i luv “I Decided” n Sandcastle Disco da videos r kool n different. N Ma husband wrote n produced{THE NEPTUNES} “I Decided” LUV YA SOLANGE!!! Btw iz Sandcastle Disco on da cd???

solange is so wack. she is not B and never will be. I wish she would give it up already, with that long ass face. She is not appealing in any type of way. B inherited everything. the look, the talent, the sex appeal, everything. Go and be your sisters bookkeeper already. I’m not buying it.

Nah. She sings well on TONY I will admit.. Actually it is not bad as a song. but the whole retro thing is derivative . the second single sounds too much like a rewrite of a classic. This is not gonna do it here in the uSA

______she should have started a___ female group._____
…insted of being a solo artist….

This album is the business! WOW!
Solange will surprise alot of people with this album. Just incredible!
Every song is dope! My favorites are T.O.N.Y., Dancing In The Dark, Cosmic Journey, & I Decided. I’ll def be getting this album.

WHATS UP WITH THE DEVIL RED WINGS?

THE NICELY HIDDEN DEVIL HAND SIGN?

THE SATANIC CIRCLES IN HER NAME ON HER ALBUM (CIRCLES WITH THE DOT IN THE MIDDLE)

AND THE MIND CONTROL MONARCH RAINBOW

CAN WE SAY FREEMASON ILLUMINATI MONARCH MIND CONTROLLED SLAVE ANYBODY?

wow,solange is doing something right cuz up until about two weeks ago there was lots of positive comments on solange,but now the haters are coming out…and this is who i consider a hater as far as these comments……Someone who just goes on a rampage,calling the artist out of their name,acting like they did something sooo personal to them,cursing,just down right pissed off and never gave a good reason as to why lol

and then there are people who give good reason why they wont be buying and what they dont like about her or her voice and thats why their oppinions are respected….the rest of you needs to get ya panties out of a bunch and go get layed or something lmao!!…..anyway everything that has leaked from solo will be on the album,i just looked up the itunes track listing so dont trip cuz anything you’ve heard from her over the past 6 months will be on the album, well at least if you pre-order it now….and like someone else said i aint on the payroll,but cop that solange if you like it!

All i wanna say is : “I MISS OUR BABY GIRL AALIYAH”!!!
REST IN PEACE AALIYAH!
GOD bless you!

Im def gettin this album…so far everyting Sol-Angel has put out im feelin!

MAN TONY IS my song, this album gna b fire, wish she had tht Q tip-Marcia song on there tho …

93…GREATESTLOVEOFALL

WE KNOW THAT’S YOU SOLANGE. STOP TRYING TO HYPE UP YOUR FUTURE FLOP. A JAY-Z REMIX COULDN’T EVEN SAVE YOU BITCH! BACK TO THE WAL-MART TOY ISLES YOU GO!

#110

shut the fuck up, damn your all over this thread trying so desperatley to make people beleive solange aint all that, when it’s clear she is doing somthing, who are any way Latavia or latoya, back away fromt hsi thread for a while dumbass.

I just want to say that I am a Solange fan…I dont understand why everybody is hating on her. She wrote 3 songs on beyonces first album and she wrote “Get me bodied” She is very unique and it makes me so mad because if beyonce would have came out with this album she would have been so overhyped….Lyrically shes killing any R&B artist…beyonce, ciarra, ashanti (good,g00d) cmon now…..I wish her all the success in the world…it has to suck to be in beyonces shadow…beyonce got a nose job to look more white!!!!! Im just sayin

My bad #109, is the one that needs to shut the hell up with all the damn hate, it’s re-damn-diculous.

At least she sounds better than Rihanna and Cassie. Meanwhile singers/songwriters with real talent are working a cash register somewhere making minimum wage.

Damm! what is wrong with people, cant people have a comment without being called a hater or being subject to abuse? We are allowed the freedom of taste (and sometimes speech) and if we don’t like it, we don’t like it. Sometimes it’s like ya’ll wanna kill somebody!

AMEN #113!!!!!!!!!!! I know a couple who are AMAZING!!!!!!

Uhhhhhh can we get another posting Concreteloop……..I’m mad we gotta see Solonge every weekend, ALL WEEKEND!!!!!! What’s up?!!!!

Solange is the muthafuckin answer…Valentine’s Day is so sick..her writing skills are superb…

SOLANGE IF YOU READ THIS COME OUT WITH WOULDVE BEEN THE ONE I SEE A 80′S LOVE SONG VIDEO THEME

116..
EXACTLY. THE NEED TO BUT UP A TRIBUTE TO AALIYAH ASAP! I DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY HELL THEY’RE WAITING ON. I’M TIRED OF LOOKING AT THAT BIRD SOLANGE. MATTHEW MUST’VE SENT A FAT CHECK TO ANGEL.

110…

WHAT’S REALLY GOOD WITH SPELL CHECK MY NIG? GET THAT IN YOUR LIFE….QUICK!

*PUT

Stupid People..LOL more like Stupid Person, aka YOU.

Why the fuck do u care so much bout record sales anyway? If Solange is wack, who do u think is hot???? Cassie???!!!!

Nasty ass bastard go find ur daddy…

I am really surprised with this young lady…And the cd $6.99 at Target…I’m gonna buy it…

I will be purchasing a copy on Tuesday…
No, she’s not the best vocalist, but her lyrics her great, her style is unique and the production is crazy. “Cosmic Journey” is out of this world, literally; I never heard anything on that caliber…I’m really digging all of the tracks, they all bring something different to the forefront. IMO, she has the potential to really be something great, if and only if she stays in her own lane. I’m definately rooting for her!!!

I heard the whole album a couple of days ago . T.O.N.Y, 6′ Clockk Blues, and her duet with Bial are faves on the album. I have a rule that I’ll only buy an album if I like at least half of the it, and in this case I do like over half of the material so I’ll be getting it this coming week. I’d say this album is a solid effort. A little above average.

I agree with the earlier post that mentioned, that she should have put “White Picket Dreams” on the album. That’s the best song she has ever done in my opinion. Solange if you’re reading this, job well done girl. You have my support, and White Picket Dreams should have seriously been on there! It’s a beautiful song.

@ 67- your probably right.

Album is Over-rated and boring! I was waiting to listen to this cd based on the good “Reviews” and disappointed I was. That’s exactly why I don’t go on word of mouth.

I am really feelin that “God Given Name”; excellent groove…I see you Solange!! I can’t wait to her at the Tom Joyner Family Reunion!! It would be cool if I bump into her and get an autograph, either or, I can’t wait to Tuesday, I will be copping it! Support GOOD music people!! Bless Solange for following the beat of her soul, I fel that!

I agree w/ #68. Most of these comments are made by people on the Knowles payroll. Solange is too whack and (poorly) rehearsed. Cee-Lo writes all her songs and Beyonce comes up with her dance moves. She is not an artist. She’s just seeking fame. I saw her hosting some video program on BET where she tried to be artistic but came across as cliche and amatuer-ish with sayings like “art is in the eye of the beholder.” Give me a break. She was unable to expound on the pieces shown and has a poor vocabulary (kept using the words “unique” and “amazing’). She lacks an artistic eye and is incapable of analyzing anything aesthetic.

HI HATERS!!! Too many on them up here. Let Solange to her and stop comparing her to her sis! She is her own person, has her own music…and if you don’t like it? Buy her sis music, kick rocks, or something, but why hate on her for no reason? Why hate on someone for doing them, for following the beat of their own drum? That is wrong with us (specifically Black people)! We so quick the point out that we aren’t all alike, but yet when one person steps outside the box, we verbally attack them! Point Blank, you don’t have to like Solange music, thats cool, but at least respect her for finding her own talent!

I guess I’m too old to like this album. But I listened to the TONY song more than once. She is too bubble gum and disney for me. I wish K. Coles could have gotten the TONY track first…

I knew way back whenever it was that yall posted that God Given Name song that Solange was onto something major this time around, and I’m honestly glad she and her sister are coming out close to the same time, it may keep Solange humble and on her own path, cause as she can tell from the Loop we appreciate that. I cant wait to charge that 7.99 and am I missing something, cause I didn’t see not one post about The Game album coming out on the same day, is he banned from the loop or something?

You Knowles employees need to stop lying……….that CD is garbage! Had it been any other known artist to do those songs yall would be calling it trash! GTFOH! This chick is a pseudo artist…..LMAO! Ray Charles can see this chick is a gimmick!

I don’t care for Solange. I think she is trying way too hard to distinguish herself from her sister. Her badass attitude just seems so fake. Curious to see what kind of numbers her album brings, as it seems the black blogs and web sites are the only ones talking about her (wonder why, because her big sis is a major superstar).

She is trying to bring back the 60’s sound. Maybe she missed the memo. Amy Winehouse already did that and much better.

Not hating, just my opinion.

I went with all the positive posts on here and downloaded some of the songs on here to listen. I feel like I’ve been punked! Are you guys hearing something that I am not?
Are many of these raves for Solo the same person?

And can we get a new post up in this bitch? Tx

IM NO SISTER….IM JUS MY GOD GIVEN NAME……….BRAVO…….ALSO WOULDVE BEEN THE ONE AND TONY R MONSTERS………

Solange you’re breaking my heart. You’re not crazy. You just make everybody else crazy.

would’ve been the one is my shit so is t.o.n.y. album crazy good.

Buying the album. LOVE T.O.N.Y and her new single, Sandcastle Disco is cool too. Get it girl!

“EVERYTHING AIN’T FOR EVERYBODY!”

I LOVE COSMIC JOURNEY, THIS BIRD, AND WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE ARE MY JOINTS!

I’m not going to slow this bird down
I don’t want to look life in the eye
I’m not going to fall face first in this spiral called a life
I’m not in denial
I’m not suicidal
not an alcholic
I’m not out here whoring
So just shut the f*ck up
shut the f*ck up
This bird’s not slowing down

MOVE OUT THE WAY OR JUST GET RAN OVER! SOLANGE IS HERE!
