I believe that some things could have been left unsaid. I am an up-and-coming R&B/Soul artist, and I truely understand the comments about imagery. As artists, we have a responsibility to our listers to deliver a message. Music used to be about love and had substance, now it about "chains" and "whips", sounds like slavery all over again to me, and our children are supposed to learn from that? Our people are in a state of emergency, if your have the opportunity to speak to the world, you should have somethinng to say that contributes to the well-being and uplifted of our people. All people. It's no different than going to church and gettin your spirit fed by a pastor. It okay to make music to dance to, it makes people feel good, it's even okay to stunt a little. Thats fine, but while you have the attention of children and misguided people, teach. - Soulfuldisiac Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:17:39 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-2660 American Producers Can't produce anymore. "R&B" without BASS is a real turn off, it's sound fake. At least with Amy Whinehouse there is a real Bass and real musicians. - MLBT Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:07:51 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-2361 I'm liking her voice very soulful. Glad that she's finally getting some recognition. - mstar Mon, 14 Jul 2008 16:04:58 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-2119 This is cute...I wish she didn't have the "Beyonce Shadow" thing over her, but it is what it is...I'm actually looking forward to hearing this album. If you need to escape a R&B/Pop MegaStar's shadow, then this is the exact album you'll need to do it. Good look from the Neptunes and Jack Splash. QTip, not so much. - SoulClap23 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:07:42 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1971 I have to agree with some of the comments. Big Ups to nore and strongblkwoman comments. Lyrics, Lyrics,Lyrics. We do we keep accepting and sugarcoating Bullsh*t in the music industry.Time out for this foolishness. The real world aint worried about listening to recycled soul music. At least in the 60's it meant something........Hint. Marvin Gaye's What's Going On? Lawrence Fishburne said it best in School Daze"WAAAKE UUUP" - Imanifest Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:31:34 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1908 Dynamic attempt n Solange's part. I too was lost in how the video for I Decided fit with the song, but it was a bold move to get our attentions without relying on the popular trio of sex, drugs or violence and it worked. She young and new at this so let's just support her. The video can stand as an art form in itself so we shouldn't always expect for the video and song to fit. She presented powerful images and a great song..we could ask for more but she's given us two great vehicles to showcase her talent and future potential. - Funkgent Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:48:01 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1891 while i like the song and the video independent of one another, i think it's slightly problematic that she is channeling martha and the vandellas without the song having any political significance. unlike 'dancing in the street,' this song isn't the spark to riots and there aren't any political undertones either. i think it's almost disrespectful to put this song with that particular imagery. nonetheless i watch the video everytime it's on. - nore Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:08:44 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1861 the video was weird and i could not tell what the song was about. my attention span is not ready. the sandcastle wouldnt be a good re introductory but its dope, i can here that at starbucks or sumthin. - ooo no Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:37:01 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1740 Solange cute imagery.However as an young black educator who works in an inner city school. young black girls need the message as well. Put out the message. I see teen pregnancy, promiscuity,and drug use of young black girls but what I constantly see in r&b female singers is an inconsistent message.Put out the real lyrics and align lyrics with the imagery. It appears as this was suppose to be deep by showing the black panthers and the evolution of music. Say Something!!!!!!!! You can appear deep by getting Q-Tip and other alternative artists but we know this is also an image. Walk the Walk all the time not just for the image of being deep. Continue your growth. You and other female r&b singers have a long way to go. - strngblkwoman Fri, 27 Jun 2008 11:46:41 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1737 Way to step out of her sister's shadow! I'm looking forward to this album. - Kay-zee Fri, 27 Jun 2008 11:05:54 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1710 little sis is dope and the direction she's going little girls needs some positivity in there life right now. big ups ''S.K'' black power rules,love the new video ...... - cool v Thu, 26 Jun 2008 18:08:56 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1554 saw the video for the first time yesterday, and I like it. Why? Because it seems like she's doing her and not another Beyonce. I can appreciate that. The connection to the imagery has a lot to do with this being political season, which i think is a good look. I've been bumping Estelle for a minute now, it's nice to know I'll have more females to add to my new music collection - Jahi Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:56:46 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1408 I like her voice, she definitely comes off edgier than I expected from her doing pop-soul (which I'm still kinda "eehhh" on)...but I won't prejudge, I'm going to wait to listen to the entire album. - ArianaLi Fri, 20 Jun 2008 18:52:21 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1351 I like 'Sandcastle Disco' and 'WhitePicket Dreams'; the intro of '6 O'Clock Blues' I don't want to compare!...but reminds me of Beyonces voice when I hear it (Waiting to hear the rest of the Album)...She gives off a real mello vibe when you listen to her on TV, I'm feeling her and her music! - Angelene B Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:22:49 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1338 Believe it or not I am actually feeling this ... And I am loving the video.... Who would ever thought I might want to cop this album and I am glad she got some heavy hitters to work with - andtwonfisher Thu, 19 Jun 2008 19:36:14 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1331 wOw ..im diggin this re-defined sound of solange! Listening to "I decided" and "Sandcastle disco" I'd def. listen to her over B anyday! Go girrrrrrrrrrrrrl! - reee Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:41:07 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1317 LOVE...LOVE..."White Picket Dreams" - Soulpoet1970s Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:32:03 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1287 She can hold a note and that's a good thing. I'd like to hear her with say a Gnarles Barkley - Tha Architect Wed, 18 Jun 2008 20:16:49 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/solange-knowles-sings-soul_pop:-more-than-just-b_s-little-sis-200806135888/#comment-1275 this sounds refreshing from the Knowles camp - leopold Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:08:38 +0100
