Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams


So I've had the chance to listen to Solange's new album and I am impressed! I never thought I would ever say that about Solange Knowles...I just had her in my head as Beyonce's little sister. But it seems like she's out from under B's spotlight and has carved out her own niche. Her vocal range isn't as impressive as B's but I love that raspy thing she has going on in 'I decided'.

This album is a collection of 60s and 70s influenced R&B songs. The first single 'I decided' has really grown on me and I think its just hot. The song samples hand claps from The supremes' 1963 recording 'Where did our love go'. 'Sandcastle disco', the second single is a lot more pop-tastic. My other favourites are T.O.N.Y, White picket dreams and F* the industry (signed sincerely).
If you like Classic R&B, you must check it out!
