While the paparazzi and most keep their eyes focused on the other Knowles daughter, the more entertaining one is quietly cultivating her own niche. Trust me on this. She’ll never been a megastar and will always carry the footnote of being “Beyonce’s sister.” Nevertheless, Solange’s move to establish herself, embracing fans (specifically online) and explore her creativity in front of her newly found audience has created a greater appreciation for who and what she is, rather than isn’t.
That’s “Under Construction,” a rough mix that she gave away via her site on Friday. Couple it with the wonderful Dirty Projectors’ cover, “Stillness Is The Move,” there’s enough there to merit anticipation for her as yet untitled, third studio album.

Her last album was tough. Definitely an element of soul to it, which is never a bad thing. She’s forming her own lane, totally different than her sister’s.
“At the Mariott, we be lucky if we find a spot
Next to yo sister, damn I really missed the
way she used to rub my back, when I hit that
Way she used to giggle when yo ass would wiggle”
Solange still rocking the Stephen curry haircut?
“Any plans with another bitch, my bitch spoil it/One day, she used my toothbrush to clean the toilet”
BTW, I like the whole psychadelic retro soul sound she got going here.
“burn slow like blunts with ya-yo/peel more skins than idaho potato/ngz know/the lyrical molesting’s taking place/fkin’ wit B.I.G it ain’t safe”
i like solange, she comes across as a free spirit and it’s like a breath of fresh air – much success to her…

====================================================================
Word… her last album was so dope, I had to actually hunt it down so that I could buy a hard copy. Haven’t done that in a while. This is definitely her lane. Dope.

Hahaaha … good way to put it.
Does anyone know which Thievery Corporation instrumental this is?
This is pretty nice & love her whole sound! Meant to get her last album myself but couldn’t find it! May have to look for it again! Solange although not as great looking as her sister is pretty good looking in her own way to!
Def love Solange, She is quietly becoming a Trailblazer in her own right. Love how “Pago” described her music genre..”Psychadelic Retro Soul.”
Scam.
