Video: Solange- Sandcastle Disco [OFFICIAL Full Length Music Video]

I play tough as nails with my heart on my sleeve, I'm nothing but a sandcastle, baby, don't blow me away I am not the biggest fan of the revival of a certain '60's sound going on right now. Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy"? Hated it. Amy Winehouse? Left me cold. The imitators since then have failed to win me over, too...with a very few exceptions. "Sandcastle Disco" was this year's biggest, though six months ago ago I would have told you [...]

Once upon a time, The Man stole Beyonce's face and put it on a much more interesting character, and he called that character Solange.

Beyonce's little sister, and former Destiny's Child backing singer, Solange recently released her second album - 'Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams'. It, perhaps surprisingly, is really, really good. Cee-Lo Green, Mark "anything for a few quid" Ronson, Q-Tip, Neptunes and Lamont Dozier all worked on the album. She also samples Boards of Canada on 'This Bird', Marvin Gaye (on 'Ode To Marvin') and The Dap Kings (on '6 O'Clock Blues'). It's a 21st century re-imagining of Motown's 60s pop. Lead single, 'I Decided' has a nod to two of the best songs to [...]

La vidéo du 2 extrait de l'album " Sol-Angel And The Hadley St. Dreams" a été réalisée par Solange elle-même. C'est un vrai déferlement de couleurs, d'animations et d'effets spéciaux en tout genre, qui sert parfaitement l'esprit acidulé de ce midtempo pop r&b psychédélique. Malheureusement, la version audio originale contenait aussi un superbe featuring de Q.Tip , qui a été sacrifié au passage : sacrilège ! Comme nous vous l'annoncions précédemment, l'album s'inscrit dans la vague [...]

Solange Knowles gives big sister a run for her money on her second LP. Yes, yes, I know. It's blasphemous. The next time I walk into a black gay club, I'm probably going to be bound, gagged, and thrown in front of a speeding bus. But upon listening to Solange Knowles' new album Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams, I find myself quite impressed. It's a 60s and 70s inspired concept album bleeding...

The clip for Solange's "Sandcastle Disco" premiered on FNMTV Friday night, and while I take issue with the idea that "no one else" out there is making music like this right now, which one of the show's panelists espoused—the fact that Amerie's Because I Love It never came out over here doesn't mean it doesn't exist!—the track, with its lighter-than-air girl-group harmonies and organ filigrees, is pretty irresistible in a hooks-all-over kind of way.

Wee Willy Young Changes : Still think the song is only "decent" - and the video is a bit of pretentious wank. Though it does have a topless scene. Kylie Flower: From her London O2 concert broadcast last week. Her inexplicable new ballad, which for a moment sounds like it's about to be a cover of Where The Streets Have No Name . But it's not. And when will this be [...]
