The Daffy, Mesmerizing Retro-Soul Surreality of Beyoncé's Younger Sister
[ « Back ] The Dallas Observer ran an article about Solange titled The Daffy, Mesmerizing Retro-Soul Surreality of Beyoncé's Younger Sister
"It's awfully tempting to make rash, inflammatory statements about Solange Knowles; to contend, for example, that while big sister Beyoncé has the dazzling singles, the scorched-earth howl and the megawatt tabloid royalty, the elder Knowles has never concocted a full hour of music as singularly and bizarrely mesmerizing as her younger sister's Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams, which was released to critical, if not commercial, acclaim in August.
But despite the sisters' shared qualities—an affinity for high-priced, retro-futuristic R&B, plus a distinctive, insouciant snap to both their voices, whether in soft spoken-word asides or full-on nuclear shrieks—this is like comparing apples to fruitcakes.
Solange is, delightfully, the latter." - Dallas Observer

Even if you didn't have children you would still be able to go large with your music. But with your adorable son in the way, that children always come first before performing anything. Good luck. We are half way through the year 09 and I hope a second album comes out b4 010.
