Cop That Disc!!



Solanges new album has finally arrived a full 5 years after her somewhat disapponting debut Solo Star. Now she is all grown up and trying hard to shake off the comparisons to her big sister, evident in album opener 'God Given Name', and she does so convincingly. The album's retro style is a breath of fresh air in a music industry that is becoming increasingly boring and predictable. There are few artists out there who dare to be themselves and bring something different.(Beyonce included) The album is a great mix of modern tracks with an old school flavour that really showcases her songwriting skills shes written tracks for Destiny's Child as well as the highlights 'Upgrade U' and 'Love'from both Beyonce and Kelly Rowland's current albums. Standout cuts here include 'T.O.N.Y' and 'Valentines's Day' if you want to hear real quality music this is well worth purchasing.7/10

I must admit...I've always thought Solange was wack, but after being put up on that Fuck the Industry song...I'm starting to reconsider :-]
