I’m kinda feeling this song. I think if I listen to it more, it’ll grow on me. Solange is doing BIG things this year, get it girl!!

Solo is doing somethings I may have to get that album.

DEFINITELY feeling this new track!!! I can’t wait for the album to drop…she’s starting off well IMO~

I don’t really like it. I like Solange but for some reason i’m not feeling this. Maybe if i listen to it more i’ll like it but not now. I think i”m 1st. yay!!

Get ‘em Solo! I think this is gonna be here year! All the material is fresh and HAWT!

I’m DEF getting her album, this song is just..wow..

I

I LOVE SOLANGE! Here songs are just amazing and so fresh for the industry! Where can I find those cool promo photos of her? And does anyone nows when the video for Sandcastle disco will come out?

Im loving this. You go SOLO

Yay Solange! I really like her sound and the production is classic. Very nice, easy listening.

I love Solange these days I am going to buy her cd for real

I was never a huge fan of Solange’s back in the day, when I would see her I would just think she was trying to ride the coat tail of the family success. BUT..I am really DIGGING her new sound. TRUE she may be using the family sucess as a stepping stone, but she is clearly proving that she is her own person and has her own identiy! I will definately be buying her album in a couple of weeks, I can see me crusing to it now

WHY NOT POST “F*CK THE INDUSTRY(SIGNED SINCERELY)…YEAH POST THAT ONE!!

I like it! Im very proud of her. I like sandcastle and white picket dreams.

@ 13 that song was posted last week check the recent post list

So Long …..Solange LOL, you do you girl

I’m definitely buying this CD, and I haven’t bought a CD in YEARS. Team Solo!

This is some bootleg Erykah Badu “Tyrone”…her writing ability? Oh Brian I stretch my hand to thee, no other help I know…lol

Solange’s sound is very cute and curky but it’s nothing we haven’t heard before - I will still with Ms. Badu.

Good luck Solange!

I was not a fan of her from before at all… but the songs that i’ve been hearing from her new album are really good!!!!!!!!! good job girl!!

I LOVE SOLANGE!!!!! I’M DEFINITELY GETTIN’ HER ALBUM! I HAVEN’T BOUGHT A CD SINCE B-DAY, LOL!!!

#18 T.O.N.Y. AMD TYRONE ARE IN NO WAY SIMILAR. T.O.N.Y. IS REALLY ABOUT HER SLEEPING WITH A GUY A LIL TOO FAST, THE FIRST NIGHT. SHE IS REGRETTING MOVING SO FAST, NOW SHE SEES IT COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING MORE HAD SHE HELD OUT. EVERYONE KNOWS TYRONE WAS ERYKAH’S NO GOOD FOR NOTHING TRIFILING AZZ NUKKA! MAYBE YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THE LYRICS AGAIN.

I’m in love w/ her writing style and can’t wait for the album to drop. All of her music is so new and refeshing. I STAN for Solange!

I have been playing this song over and over Go Solange

Very nice song! Solange is really developing in her music. Look out Big Sis Beyonce.

I like this joint alot. I glad the studio version leaked cause I was listening to the Live Version for the longest!

- Terrence

It’s ok. She is REALLY goin’ old skool on this cd, I see. I always have to listen to her songs multiple times before I like them. Think I’ll cop the cd.

How is it that Solange is releasing her 3rd single and I have yet to hear the first?

solange has grown a lot since the first effort and it shows this time around…….i’m really loving this one too!!!! go SOLO

Love it!

Love this song! Thanks for bring back those old school tunes! This music will definitely cross over to different age groups. My mom just asked me what I was listening to and she said I like that play it again and she is 47. Tha’t amazing - I’m 17 and we don’t normally listen to the same type music.

LOVING IT!!!!!

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN HER CD WILL BE RELEASED! ALL I HEAR ARE THE SINGLES. I WANT THE CD.

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
this is my girl right here, I hope her album does well

I love this song! It really had me bumpin hard to it. Love the beat and the direction of the song. The lyrics were cute too. I’d love to buy her album, but one thing I can’t get past is her vocals, which I’m gonna have to disagree with you on Brian. I feel the same way about Ashanti’s albums. That’s just my opinion.

Not feeling it. I guess it’ll be another song I bypass on her album. I do appreciate the lyrics because it doesn’t sound so vapid since the topic is overplayed in R&B.

T.O.N.Y. = F.I.R.E.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this song is corny, and believe me, i wanted to like it. i surprisingly liked her first single.

Solo is aite!!! she dnt do nothin for me, i feel she tries to do tooo much to run away from the tag beyonce’s sister. that work sshe is puttin into bein ~Solo should be effortlessly done by her music.

her track is ok , multiple listens maybe??

ok,im really feeling EVERYTHING im hearing from solange….
im glad her music can not be compared to her sister;s style yet i hope she gets all the praise that her sister does beause she definately deserves it…..

HEY..Brian u missed a few Solange songs that u shld post

ToldYaSo
Wanna Go Back Feat Marsha(floetry) and Q-tip (HOT ONE)
F%$K the Industry

I really, really, really, really, LOVE this song. I’ve been playin this track all day yesterday and i plan on doing tha same today. Good job Solo, you made me a believer.

MY BAD.. i saw ^^^ that post for F**K the Industry last friday ^^^^^^^^

Solange Good Luck, and please, please stay humble. Your *F* the industry record not only voices your messages but it also signals that you don’t think you have to follow the rules.

I’ve always loved solange…..she was writing good songs for destiny’s child back in the day…(not long ago.)
She’s very creative and has an okay voice to match so i will definately be picking up this album as soon as it comes out.

I just hope that All of the songs that are being leaked will be on her album. God Given Name and F’ck the industry go hand in hand IMO. I hope both of them are on the album. One thing I cant stand is to hear a leak song that I like and then find out its not on the CD.

I LOVE ME SOME SOLANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO FEROSH!

I already have this song on my Ipod. WERK SOLANGE!!!

I heard this song the other day and I LOVE IT

Definitely grabbing the album on the 26th

The entire sound that she is pushing is very Badu - I don’t do knock offs. I said her sound was cute and that’s that. Do I have to like everybody that you like? Hmmmm I didn’t think so.

But good luck to Solange anyway.

I’m really feeling this one from her. I’ll know I’ll probably end up keeping this on repeat.

I think her album is going to be hot. Out of all the songs she has leaked, there was only 1 that I didn’t like.

My bad, I meant *I know

her writing has improved . like i’ve said before, i’m rooting for her

I DON’T RECALL SAYING YOU HAD TO LIKE HER, I JUST POINTED OUT THE LYRICS WERE NOT SIMILAR.

I am such an fan…she has totally got my vote. I am on the band wagon. I can’t stop listening to F*&$ the Industry. She did her thing. I might be copping 2 albums come the 26th. I’m just saying…

And that ChampagneChronicNightCap is FIYAH!!!!!!!!

Forgot to add that=o)

I am so feeling Solange’s new material. She and Ne-yo are definitely breaking out of the mold and stepping out to new and innovative ways to entertain.

God, i can’t wait until 8/26!!!

i like it, but i don’t love it…gotta let it grow
it’s not bad at all though

Cute song, mediocre voice. She should stick to only songwriting. She’s not a singer at all. I’ll give her an “A” for effort.

i’m digging this song

IF I DON’T BUY NO ONE’S ALBUM FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR, YOU CAN BE DAMN SURE I WILL BE PICKING UP SOL-ANGEL AND THE HADLEY STREET DREAMS! SOLNAGE IS KILLIN’ IT!!!! LOVES THIS CHICK!!! GREAT MUSIC.

I am really diggin Solange, every song CL posted by her I like so she got my vote. lol I’m gettin the cd.

Her writing has improved? LMAO! It’s improved alright. People, I guarantee you that Cee-Lo is the brains behind most of this writing. Solange just wrote the ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’.

Solange’s candids look better than her promo shots. She’s just not the kind of girl who can wear wild make up and she should accept that. Her lips and nose look crazy here…She really shouldn’t make herself look worse for the sake of being some pseudointellectual artist…nobody buys her as a new Goapale, anyway.

CL great review. I have listened to the new cd ( early peep ) and I must say as a veteran music critic, songwriter, and retired musician this is some really good material that is much needed in the industry right now. She takes us to a happy place where it’s not all about the same ole, same ole. Gas prices, economy crunch, it is so good to have some sunshine feel good vibes in a song… In my opinon it is really sad when you see people make comments on artist such as I can’t stand her level, she’s copying this artist level - tired of her already level.. Those of us who know better should take the high road- don’t sit up on CL and go back and foth over some haters. People making these comments most likley have issues already, mad at the world, issues with a man, woman, parents, issues with self…

HATEVILLE NEIGHBORHOOD

Comments like I don’t like the song, not feeling it, cool, that is your choice, everything else on a straight up personal level when you don’t even know the aritist or have no idea the dues they go through is simply on a hate attack.

So what she has a family that has made it in the industry and more times than not The K Family from Houston successfully finds more ways to increase the wealth.
Solange still pays dues, interviews coast to coast in a 24 hour day, studio time, up at 5am down, maybe around midnight, has a son, young mother, appearances, dues.. they are getting paid. For every piece of clothing you put on your back or jewelry, spending your 9 to 5 pay, business owner pay, allowance eating establishments, , grocery shopping, paying that light bill, that is someone’s family racking it up, you blowing them up for the neccesities and some wants - Yett we clown on our race for making it. Wow!

It’s not that you hate the artist, most times it is that you hate where you are in life. Those who made it have been there but the difference between them and you… they did something about their situation… if you argue this point and say, I love where I am.. why are you hating still? I am just throwing this out there to those who make comments beyond.. I am not feeling the music.. feel what you like.. that’’s cool…

Much success to Solange for bringing a refreshing sound to the airwaves, and having the gusto to really get out there and do her thing. If more would believe in themselves, trust its not an easy road but it can be done to do whatever you want to do and make a decent living from it. Music… wow I love it, it’s been around for a long time, ages, Innovative… not easy,not impossible but not easy but Solange ’s new project is great and haters get use to her being blown up… better to have a sister girl blown up than wrecking her life in a downard spiral… TONY definitely not Tyrone…

I love me some Erykah, Jill and all that but sorry to disappoint you who don’t know your music too well… go take a musical ride with Millie Jackson, Marlena Shaw WOMAN OF THE GHETTO, powerful message, see if you don’t see some influence of some of today’s E & J and more… Dinah Washington, Etta James and more - you will find E & J and more have respect due these sistas and more to contribute to their sound and style… original… nah re invention… Solange is no differernt.. Truth…So I’ll end here.. just trying to open the mind more… its a cycle ladies and gentlemen, You respect the re-invention nad pass the torch, it’s all about keeping good music going…

Again CL Staff, great job on this review…

Continued Success Keep Up The Amazing Work

Fair & Balanced
