Watch & Listen: So Smooth!

Filed under: Listen To This


This is smart!

Beyonce's little sister, Solange, is coming out with a new album, and the first single, I Decided, is unlike anything the elder Knowles has done.

And, it's very different from everything else on the radio right now.

Smart!

I Decided is a slow to mid-tempo jam reminiscent of the girl group Motown era, and the video for the single reflects that very well.

It's cool, chill-out music for the summer. Something to listen to by the pool!

    I couldn't get through it…. too many genres of music combined - it was distracting. I like her voice though.

    You seriously need an education in good music. This shit is pure garbage. But, you worship Madonna, so I guess it's to be expected.

    The song is ok! But as far as the time periods for the costumes, her sister been there done that. From far when is she wearing that big weave, its looks like B. But I hope she gets some success from it.

    Perez, I have decided that your thoughts on music are officially bad. You are getting WAY too much credit as having good taste in music yet you STILL cannot tell what is good and what is not.

    It's really smooth - I like how she's not trying to be like her sister! I hope she sticks around for a while… it's been a long time since we had something fresh!

    Her voice is similar to her sisters. Nice. I'd be surprised if this one wasn't a hit.

  41. lalala says – reply to this

    Don't really like it at all she would've been better off making music that sounds more like her sister.

  42. SB says – reply to this

    Its good, not great, but you can see she has grown.
    Lovely voice!

  43. Ranest says – reply to this
    43

    great video. but she's following the steps of Amy Winehouse bringing back the girl group sound (at least Solange represents that culture) so I guess it 'works' for now…

  44. 44

    This is actually a very good song, i dig it a lot. her style has matured.

  45. Greg says – reply to this
    45

    Song was really good and so original. Sounds like another Pharell/Neptunes produced hit…

  46. Lana says – reply to this
    46

    The song is awful. Not something I could stand to listen to for more than a few seconds and I didn't. As for the style, am I the only one who thinks it's totally ripping off Amy Winehouse? And not very well I might add.

    THIS ROCKS! GREAT FIND! Love to see someone stepping out of the confines of the crap they call pop music today. Keep it coming! She is way better than her pit-loving sis.

    Perez, this song sucks. Sorry mijo.

  65. JoLin says – reply to this
    65

    no, it doesn't sound like Amy Winehouse (did you even listen to it??). yes, it is SO much better than ANY beyonce song (pick any one cuz they all sound the same). she basically has beyonce's vocal range without that annoying shrieking cat sound.

  66. Meliss says – reply to this

    She's trying to be Sharon Jones (of SJ and the Dap Tones) and failing miserably. She's still ghetto.

    This song, along with it's video, is absolute garbage.

    There isn't an original sound or image in the whole production.

  72. Megath says – reply to this
    72

    I don't think her voice is smooth enough to handle this song. And the piano doesn't blend into the song well. It just goes "DON'T LISTEN TO HER VOICE. LISTEN TO THIS PINGING NOISE IN THE BACKGROUND." And I agree that it's too repetitive to be this long.

  73. britta says – reply to this

    i LOVE this song.

    Look some of the same people who say this is garbage do not have means or the resources to do what this girl is doing. Let her have fun and do her thing. Don't compare her to Bey. I am convinced that most of the people here are under the age of 18. Due to the ignorant comments. Just admit that it is a nice song and the video is cute don't down her because of her family. Get a life!!!!!!!!!

    Who picked out those stupid names? It's a good thing they both have some musical talent, otherwise they'd be hard pressed to find decent jobs with those names on their resumes!!!!

    She's better than Beyonce. Though that's not saying all that much.

    check Solange out, trying to be the drug-free Amy Winehouse… I already like it better than anything Beyonce has done… it's more original. Also, her voice isn't as annoying (nasaly) as Beyonce's.

  81. Phylli says – reply to this

    After so many attempts, I think that she finally got it right! I totally enjoyed the song and video and am very proud of Solange.

    okay, am I the only one who thinks she sounds like a very young Michael Jackson circa Jackson 5 days??
