VIDEO: SOLANGE - “SANDCASTLE DISCO”
Saturday, August 16, 2008
Solange Knowles released her video for her second single, “Sandcastle Disco” on MTV’s FNMTV on Friday. The video is really cute, with a lot of special effects. Solange is very much fashion forward in this video, much like the looks of her exclusive promo shots (which you will see soon). I’m diggin’ it.

Even if your not feeling Solange you have to give her props. She did what Kelly and Michelle weren’t able to do, break out from her sisters shadow. Most female artist get compared to Bey, unless its like Alicia Keys someone who has created her own niche, they fall short, but there is no need to compare Sol and Bey’s music. They are distinctly different.
I’m lovin the sixties style to the music, the video, her clothes. She’s doing the damn thing!

Solange…
What did you do to the CL readers today? The majority of comments seem to be positive! Now that’s a FIRST!
Oh and I’m glad she decided to leave Q-Tip’s part out. Not knocking him but the song is better without his verse. Maybe its for the remix IDK.

I’m most def feeling this. I’m loving the all around direction Solange has taken as an artist. I must admit when I first heard she was working on a new album I wasn’t expecting this at all. Now I’m definitely copping. Way to go girl!

You all have to be joking…… if she wasn’t Beyonce sister she couldn’t get a recording contract in a million yerars!!
This video has the same theme as the last one and she is not a great singer. What happened when people really had to sing to make a record, like Aretha and Whitney? We have really lowered our standards!

Wow! It looks like I will own a cd by a Knowles. I am loving Solo’s vibe. She’s much less plastic and manufactured than her sister…whatshername. This chick is Rihanna and Kelis all wrapped into one!

Respect the fact that the girl is doing her thing in the most respectful way…. Not too much skin just a message to be delivered… And she’s definitely getting her point across.. I really can’t wait until the 26th, I needs it now.. lol.. I’m buying about 5 copies… I love this girl and bee is still the queen

Solange was always cool with me, I ain’t go out and get the first CD even though I liked that “there is this guy…” song, but I for sure will be getting this one and if the first one is on sale I might grab that too.
But the fashion in this video is amazing, of course very much Ms. Ross but if you gotta be inspired by someone Diana isn’t a bad choice.
And yeah her voice is definitely acquired taste, but she doesn’t come off as forced and made/ groomed for celebrity as her sister, which I hope is not a gimmick cause it works. and if she keeps it up she’ll find herself in the ranks of my fashion faves coming in third to Kelis and Rihanna, go Sol-Angel.

Loving the new video from SOLANGE so different from anything right now. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves cause she is a real talent. She has totally separated herself from what her sister does. Just for that I will be by her album on AUGUST 26!!!!!

I like how she is coming into her own…The video was different, the outfits were daring and hot. One negative that will probably mess up all the positives I pointed out…Im not crazy about her voice. Sorry…Its my opinion. But I will support her. If they can support Rhi Rhi, Ill support you Sol!
And she looks alot like Bey in someone these shots.

I think this video will actually spell some success for Solange by the very fact that she came out with it. On her last album she didn’t get to release a second video-
but only one. And I know Geffen is behind her helping her release it the way she wants to. She said she directed the video all by herself and I enjoyed it. Even though she’s doing something a little different from the industry right now- she still makes her music enjoyable and her videos fun to watch. Go Sol-angel!

i must i like this song, morever than most of the new songs i’ve heard from solange. she also have a great fashion since. although she looks ok to me, i must say she has flawless skin, and nice legs.
the game video was deep, he has some good lyrics
gym class hereo video was entertaining, the lead singer looks good with his hair cute short, it usually be long

You know im ALL down for the singers like Whitney and Aretha..but Really people Not EVERYONE is going to be a power house..Im getting a little tired of seeing those type of comments like: What happen to real singers..I really dont get it. True their are some people in the industry who can not sing and are soley famous because of image, but there are some people who may not be able to hit a note like mariah or whitney, but have talent. For example Diana Ross?..Da Boss! I mean have you ever heard her belting out songs? No, but she is still a legend and Icon! Im in no way saying embrace complete mediocrcy, but give something new a chance.

Because Solange must struggle with being in her sister’s shadow the absolute worst thing she could ever ever do is come off as low browed. And she’s succeeded at doing just that with this video. She’s almost acting out all the lyrics, which is fine if you’re singing about your booty but not at all cool if you’re trying to be highly artistic. Also, she just looked really realy lame and amateur through the whole thing…the make-up and weave looked like she did it herself ten minutes before each shot. This looked like a bootleg version of her first video.

I like the fact that Solange is trying to bring something different to the table. I am a very versatile person & I’m pretty much open to anything new. Not saying that her genre of music hasn’t been done before but I don’t always crawl to the same types of music. I actually like this song and while the video isn’t a big difference from the first it’s still cute.
Of course not everyone is going to like her as an artist or her music but so what that’s life. EVERYBODY aint gon’ like you.
I’ll be picking up her CD when it arrives next week.
Solange you have a new fan.

OK SO HERES MY ISSUES
I LOVE THE SONGS, LOVE THE STYLE BUT ITS SO FORCED. EVERYBODY IS TALKIN ABOUT HOW SHES COMING INTO HER OWN BUT THIS ISNT WHO SHE IS. ITS NOT AUTHENTIC… AMY WHINEHOUSE IS AUTHENTIC AND SHE JUST DOES HER, BUT SOLANGE IS JUST TRYIN TO GET OUT OF HER SISTERS SHADOW AND THIS VIDEO WOULD BE DOPE IF THEY DIDNT HAVE EVERY SPECIAL EFFECT EVER MADE ALL IN THIS ONE CLIP “LESS IS MORE”.

Is it just me, or are the Knowles family some of the best (copycat) marketers around? It’s the same old ploy, the sister is a huge superstar whose more mainstream and the lil’ sister is anti-mainstream? Where have I seen this before…Jessica Simpson & Ashlee Simpson…Jessica was America’s Sweetheart, just like Beyonce’, while Ashlee was the punk-rocker, who was anti-sex appeal and all about “the art,” like Solange is attempting to be. I’m sorry, I’m not feeling it. I find it hard to believe that Solange is some champagne sippin’, weed-smokin’, “I do what I want, how I want ‘cuz I’m me” artist, not with her manager being her father! Wake up ya’ll because the video is colorful, doesn’t make it different. In the words of her brother-in-law, “we don’t believe you, you need more people” LOL

Hard on the ears and the eyes…too many “special effects”..is this star wars part 15???? She isn’t as different as she claims…just another marketing ploy from pimp daddy knowels…and i guess its ok to like white sounding pop music cause this is not R&b…irreplaceable anyone???

(@ #74 yeaaa….i doubt that would be likely in ANY way, shape, or form.)
anyway…
i gotta admit…Solange finally won over my respect.
at first, it seemed like she was just coming out as a “little beyonce” and she realized that wasn’t working.
this time, she has found where she belongs, with this type of music.
not to mention her hilariously sarcastic personality…i think that’s what fully won me over. Solange is quite a character. (”Yes, I LOVE getting up at 5 in the morning and singing.”) Definitely something I would say to the stupid tv show host who, before she was set to perform, said to her, “So, I know its pretty early in the morning, but i’m sure you’re up and ready!!!”

133.
I just want to be honest in my opinion and not be call'd a hater,cause this is the comments. Rite?
Sunday, August 17, 2008 /
Uhm.. I respect her cause she’s doing the damn thing, just not for me. Props to that Solange.
I always favor her personality over her sisters anyways. But real talk am not excited about her
. Well let me be speific the voice, No! I believe I read somewhere that she has done something
that Michelle and Kelly couldn’t/can’t/won’t lest not forget that she BEYONCE SISTER
WHO MANAGES HER THEIR FATHER. C’mon theres no way they can get an even chance.
But do you Solange SHYT! Am not mad at you for gettin that $ or following your dreams you
hear me.
On tht note I am. excited for JANELLE MONAE I believe that rite there is truly fresh air,
oh yea call me a hater if you want. lol haha.
PPEACE!

Uhhhhhhh I really didn’t like the Video. I mean I tried to but it just didn’t grab my attention. I feel like her music doesn’t define her artistic side at all. It doesn’t fit her nor does is connect.. This is only my opinion.

She looks beautiful. Her music rocks. I saw her profile on milllionaire personals site “”"”"”"”"W e a l t h y L o v e s.co m”"”"”"”"” last week. “She is very picky about guys on that site”, according to the officials of that site.

My only critique: She puts so much effort into being creatively distcinct from her sister, HOWEVER, the hair and choreography reeks of BEYONCE…I think if she just goes with a differnt hairstyle (no mopre long curly weave..does nothing for her hard jaw line), choreography, lose the eyelashes then the distinction will inally be complete.
