Solange presents "Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams"
SO.... I guess the saying: "never judge a book by its cover", should also apply to CD's. "Never judge a CD by the single." The CD is actually out in the US but won't be released in Canada until September 17th.
I hated the song "I Decided" I am not sure why but it did nothing for me. I actually thought, poor girl why would she release a whole album. Harsh, maybe but I bought her first album and was very disapointed except for the first single with N.O.R.E.
Yesterday I took in the album and I was shocked to find that it is much better than I had imagined. "I decided" is a poor reflection of the album. The only indication "I decided" gives on the album is that its eclectic and sounds nothing like Beyonce's music.
Sandcastle Disco- is the new single and I enjoy much more. These are some of my favorite tracks on the album:
God Given Name
T.O.N.Y
6' Oclock Blues
Ode To Marvin
Here is the video for Sandcastle Disco, incase you have not seen it yet !!!
