Vamos falar sobre decisões. No que se refere a mim, as decisões são várias. As tomadas: nome do primeiro LP, quais festivais vou e não vou, se vou no show da Madonna, novo nome do programa de rádio. As por vir: prioridades de projetos paralelos, temas de seminários, playlists para vários propósitos. Vamos falar sobre descobertas e decisões. Eu descobri há alguns dias uma cantora chamada Solange . Ela é irmã mais nova da popstar chamada de Tina Turner dos anos 2000, Beyoncé Knowles . Ela freqüentemente participa dos shows da irmã [...]

If my blog is still around at the next 080808, then mankind is doomed. Hell, if it makes it to 090909 I'll be surprised. And while I don't find this day to be particularly noteworthy, what better day would there be to be reborn? I mean, really. So some or many or all or none of you may know I was out of the country for a while. Technically, since Guam is a US territory, I was in country, but it felt more like some place like.... Puerto Rico. Oh, wait-- that's [...]
I guess this is supposed to show her transcending some sort of poverty, but really, to me it looks like Mathew Knowles decided at the last minute that he didn't want his other daughter's album cover to be too "gritty," only he'd run out of money for the cover's photography budget. Thankfully, Photoshop work is free if you can find the right intern to put it together! On a similar note, have we talked about how good "I Decided" is? Apparently, it's too "subtle" for the Katy [...]

Here is the official album cover for Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams . Not sure what we think just yet!

Beyonce must be fuming. There she was sat with a pile of CDs trying to find a tune for her pile o' poo album, B'day and then lil' sis goes and sneaks away with this one when no one was looking. And to top it all, she calls up The Freemasons to remix it for the UK. Solange has picked a right winner here - it's the glasses! I Decided is a smart slice of electronica Motown. Bona! I Decided (Freemasons Radio Edit) - Solange [...]

Because..... I decided that you are the him for me. Oh my boy I Decided by Solange watcha think? [ lyrics ] [ music video ] [ download mp3 ]
Video: Róisín Murphy, "Movie Star" Hopefully readers of this blog are by now familiar with the inimitable Róisín Murphy, one of my undisputed favorites. Her unique sense of style and quirky musical vision never falter, as her astounding body of work, both with Moloko and solo, can attest to. Her latest video, for Overpowered 's glittering standout anthem "Movie Star," takes the crazy side of her persona to a new extreme. A play on John [...]

Solange is about to release her album, and here is a new song by her called "I Told You So" . I don't really like this track, it gets really tiring after a while but it shows her unique voice, which I like. LISTEN TO THIS TUNE! Link 1 Link 2 What did you think of this song? Post your opinions in the comments!
As American audiences slowly begin to warm up to Solange's new and intriguing retro-meets-alt-soul sound via the '60's girl group-flavored single "I Decided", the younger Knowles has opted on giving the crowds overseas a "sequel version" that adds a little more Euro-club pizazz to the Motown-ish ditty. Remixed by the popular Freemasons production house (Grammy-nominees for their revamp of "Deja

How can I describe the talented Solange ? Ms. Knowles is a sexy, voice with so much energy that you just can't ignore. At just 21 she has written pop songs and collaborated with some of the biggest names in the business, releasing her 1st LP back in 03. Now 08 Solange is releasing album 2 on August 26 titled Sol-Angel And The Hadley St. Dreams with a different flavour of soul and jazz, think Amy Winehouse with a higher pitch and not on crack. The 1st single off SATHSD is [...]

Below is a really big, fun, explosive remix to Solange's new single I Decided ...we LOVE the Freemasons, and pretty much everything they touch turns to gold, this being no exception! I Decided (Freemasons Remix) - Solange
