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?”


song is hot.point blank
i luv her sound, shes OFFICIALLY won me over. ALBUM COPPED!!!!!
i kinda like this by solange. i give her props, she’s trying to come with a vengeance this year!!!!!!
THIS IS HOT…SHES BRINGING BACK “REAL” R&B…..I REALLY DIG THIS CHICK….I LIKE HER WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER THAN HER SISTER
will this be another person they shove down our throats? hmm. anyways its an okay song.. i think she is striving to be.. too diff.
i hate to admit it.. but i like solange lol
great vibe
It’s cool but she needs to take some of that stress out of her voice. Sounds a little forced.
WOW…Love It Solange’s album is gonna be 10 times better than her first album which I didn’t even bother to buy but I will definitely get her new album when it comes out…
She killed the vocals in the beginning….
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 love solange. Can’t wait til the CD drops. So refreshing, not the usual dam my n**** dun left me but I still got da “good-good” that we’re used to. Cant wail till the 26th.!!!
LOVE iT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
keep up the good music Solo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay Solo! Can’t wait for this cd to drop!
i”m actually going to buy her Cd and I haven’t bought a CD in 4 years or more…lol
Great Song, it’s a tune you can put on and sing along while cleaning.
I like IT!
i like it it has a feel good vibe to it it does sound like asong that should be featured on the soundtrack of the next inspirational black family film if you think about but i m loving her right now i hope she does really good with this album
Its cute and I’m rooting for her.
I hope T.O.N.Y. is her third single.
Luv Luv Luv it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Can’t wait to buy the cd.
Its also cool she is working with Mark Ronson, he has done alot of hot producing for Amy Winehouse.
I am loving me some Solange these days I like all the song I’ve heard from her. T.O.N.Y. stays on repeat in the car and F*** the Industry.I was dancing to I Decided last night.

Great Song, it’s a tune you can put on and sing along while cleaning.
I like IT!
^^^^^^^
I know huh! My first thought was this is some good weekend “cooking and cleaning” music…LOL! I’m loving what I’ve heard so far.
I love solange shes soo different it just works for her
I mos def goin to check out the album
I like the real Solange we’re hearing now. I’ll be supporting the album.
It’s aight. The song is cute but the vocals are little forced.
I like a lot of the material that I’m hearing from her. I wasn’t expecting to like her at first, but now she’s won me over. I’m gonna get her album, the day it comes out. GO SOLANGE!!!!!!!!!
IT TAKES A LOT FOR ME TO BUY A PERSON ALBUM ESPECIALLY SINCE NOW ON THE RADIO I HEAR THE SAME OL’ THINGS ON YET I HAVE TO ADMIT I WAS A LITTLE SCEPTICAL OF SOLANGE, BUT SHE HAS REALLY ONE ME OVER, I REALLY THINK SHE HAD IT IN HER YET OVER POWERED BY BEY BUT THAT’S OK NOW IS HER TIME TO SHINE
I’m really feeling Solange’s music! Can’t wait!
I’m lovin the old school feel of this track. I love Solange. Can’t wait for her album to drop!
first who knew solange could sing? second who knew she would make good music?
people can hate and say she didnt pave her way but she got the best rnb music out now!
I can’t wait for this album. I am so excited. I know I’m gonna have it on knock for a few months. I haven’t hated a single song that I heard from her. In fact I have loved them all….Uber refreshing =o)
I like that.
solonge has gained a new fan she think she’s dope i luv the songs i’ve heard so far. i will most definately be buying her album.
OMG..I cant beleive it…..from post #1 to 30…they have all been positive!
I guess Solange is realyl making a name for herself. oh yea…I like it too! lol lol
Solange is the business right now….Maybe she’ll be the change the game needs cause this song is STRAIGHT FIRE!!
I LOVED this song at her live show!!
Yay!
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.
i had saw a video of her performing this song and i wanted to know the name of it so bad and then i saw that she uploaded it to her myspace and i was so geek’d!! now i get to download it….but i do kinda wanna be surprised when i hear the album so please no more leaks!!
she kills this live
HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
to 35 yeah what’s new? there’s always tons of underground and above ground acts that are better than who we see…same w/street b’ball players who don’t make it to the nba, etc. i could go on and on with this…
Like it! Def. picking up that album when it comes out.
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
i just found some performances from her singing this song on youtube last night, cant wait to hear the whole thing!
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 love what she’s doing
I will buy her album
That is all
SHES DOING HER DAMN THING DIS YEAR!!!!
@41,”champagnechronicnightcap” is going to be on the new album?that song is a year old isnt it….but i still love it.
im rootin for solange’s projects,i love T.O.N.Y
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 really like Solange and this song sounds so good. I will buy her cd when it comes out.
OmG!!!!!!!!!!!
i juz caught solange’s new video for Sandcastle Disco….
and my my she iz AmaZing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
her sense of style iz Crazy!!!!!!!!
love everything….the video iz so different and WONDERFUL….
im sorry but i think that she has already won the Best new Artist at the grammys…
=]
Here a link to the new Solange video:

I’m kind of warming up to Solange, but I still think she’d be better off at K-Mart.
She is thee definition of Rythym & Blues… It’s no need to hate, the girl is definitely consistent with the hits… The evolution of solange… Wow!!! I’m a fanatic when it comes to bee and I’m learning to love this girl… Keep up the good work girl and I’m buying 5 copies of that album…
Wow!! Wow!! Dang….I love her music!! It makes me feel Good as Hell!
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*
@47, Champagnechronicnightcap is available from itunes only if you pre-order the cd…which I just did…
Umm….Its ok. Liked her other songs better.
Great voice!
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?
