♫ HOT OR NOT: SOLANGE - “6 O’CLOCK BLUES”
Friday, August 15, 2008

♫ SOLANGE - 6 O’CLOCK BLUES (SNIPPET) ♫
Earlier this week Solange leaked a snippet of a new song on her MySpace. The Mark Ronson produced “6 O’Clock Blues” is a mellow, feel-good track, which finds Solange at a vulnerable point, crooning over melodic guitar, “Yeah, you keep me sheltered from the 6 o’clock blues…”
The song is to be featured on Solange’s sophomore album, SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams, which drops August 26th. Now it’s time to hear your feedback…
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT “6 O’CLOCK BLUES?”

It’s cool but she needs to take some of that stress out of her voice. Sounds a little forced.

I like this song better than all the others Ive heard (and I like everything Ive heard from her).
How is she trying to be different? This isnt different. To me MIA is different. This is R&B

I agree with everyone who said her voice sounds forced. Sounds a little bit like she’s strangling to me, and singing flat. I don’t like the track either, it sounds like it was made with a Casio keyboard. Lastly I do not like the lyrics, they are all over the place.
I think this is another artist they are going to try to shove down our throats. There are tons of underground artists out right now who sound WAY better than Solange but they can’t get any recognition. With that said, I’m going to go ahead and buy the cd ONLY because I want to make a statement that this “different” sound sells, so that other, more talented artists, might be given a chance.

With tracks like “I Decided”, “Sandcasle Disco”, ChampagneChronicNiteCap”, and “TONY” her CD is going to be a good listen.
I like all the songs so far

It’s okay. I haven’t heard anything from Solange that would make me want to buy the CD.
I’ll use that CD money towards something else that really matters. But I wish her the best luck with sales.

The song is hott! and her vocals sound great on it. Very old-school.
It’s ashame the girl can’t even get half-way to being popular before folks start whining and complaining about her being “forced down our throats”, typical crabs in a barrel at work. I doubt anyone was “forced” to click on this entry and let alone take the time to listen to her song.
Anyways big ups to Solange, i’ll be coppin the album.

I `m really feelin` Solange. The R&B vibe, the lyrics and the production is definitely on point. This song makes her sound like an ol` skool veteran in a young body. She`s definitely sounding great. I`m rooting for her.

I’m kind of warming up to Solange, but I still think she’d be better off at K-Mart.

I am laying on the release of Solange’s CD. I think I like “6 o’clock Blues” more than I like I Decided, and I didn’t think that was possible, as that is my absolute jam. Two more Tuesdays, two more Tuesdays…
I hope there are no pushbacks *going to iTunes to see if I can pre-order*

Solange came hard this time, I am waiting on her album just like I’ve been waiting on J-Hud and Jazmine Sullivan. I have not bought a cd in like 3 almost 4 years and yet I will purchase all of the people listed above.

#51 Thanks for the link! I love when she starts dancing all crazy in the yellow feathered coat and she definitely needed a visual for that particular song BUT I think she erred in directing it herself…she said something in an interview about this video being all her and it’s painfully obvious. The only remotely inspired parts are mere rehashings of Melina’s work in the first video. The progression is halted…the scenes don’t overlap smoothly and each shot seems pretty unfinished…it’s just her and a green screen so maybe that’s why. and the soup can…duh, Solange…anymore pop culture cliches?

Beyonce is waaaaay better than Solange but Solange will do for now since no talents like Rihanna and Cassie are out there. At least Solange can sing I will give her that. But I cant wait until November. I’m ready for hot LIVE performances and we all know who is the Queen of live performances.

i must agree with #8 except add another 0 b/c this is gonna be 100x’s better!
in a little over 2 weeks, i will be driving from best buy bumping this album!
too hyped.
on another note, i do like the production. i was sitting thinking, “what beat is this originally” but i just realized that it’s a mark ronson beat and sounds sim to amy winehouse. but i liked amy’s album. so it’s all good

let me preface by saying I have always loved Solange. Since her first single off her first album. I can’t wait for her cd to drop. With that said, I wanted to know, has anyone noticed that while she is out, beyonce has not been around. (except for the pics from the paparazzi of course). Fo real though, since when in the last 5 years or more has beyonce ever taken a vaca??? fa real, She poops out albums. (eeeww lol). But right now, she’s quiet. shhhhhhh!!!! Maybe its to let Solange do her thing and I am not mad at it. The world needed a break from B so that we can enjoy her when she comes back.
okay. that’s my conspiracy theory for the day. what do yall think

well we know what decades she’s into as far as sound the ’60’s and ’70’s shes taking it old school, she has a nice sound, kinda of what amy winehouse does, good stuff, will most def cop that album. oh and i love the way that not a lot of the post here mention big sis beyonce, but just solange in her own right.
