The Appreciation of the Sol-Angel August 20, 2008

The younger siblings of a superstar are always looked at as a second class citizens. Now we all know the name Beyonce for reasons that are obvious. But what about her sister? What about Solange? The other singing Knowles is embarking on her sophomore effort, Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams. Solange also co-wrote some of her sister’s hit songs, was once a dancer for Destiny’s Child.

The album’s first single, “I Decided” is a throwback soul homage to the ones who paved the way. The album has a who’s who : Cee-Lo, Mark Ronson, Pharrell, and Q-tip. The album overall is pretty cool, it has a groove. It’s safe to say that she is developing a style that is her own. Plus, I dig the fact that she likes Shuggie Otis! (that’s a plus in my book)

So pick it up at your local Best Buy or Target.

Filed under: Uncategorized — confessionsofacollector @ 7:02 am

So tonight was the Van Hunt Show at the Black Cat here in good ol’ Washington DC. The turn out was pretty good for a Sunday evening show. Van was very funny, he interacted with the audience very well. I was impressed. He performed the two songs that I really wanted to hear. Here are a few photos…
