I really like Solange a lot. I think she is talented and I love her quirky style. I think her album is a good reflection of her. She is honest about her thoughts and feelings on every track! It is so nice to see someone confront their lives the way she does. She doesn't seem to hold back at all. When I first listened to the CD I only liked some of the songs but after listening another time or two I find myself loving most of them! My favorites are Sandcastle Disco Dancing in the Dark 6 O'Clock Blues Valentines Day Cosmic Journey I hope she has another CD out soon. I would love to see her feature more artists because she seems like she would really bring out the best in other artists. I love this CD!
Solange is definitely the artist in the family. This as well as A Seat at the Table are great.

This CD is phenomenal! By far, Solange Knowles' best work. I can truly say that she has natural talent and is able to hold her own. Now, don't get me wrong, I adore her older sister, who shall in this review remain nameless, but Solange has really proved that she also knows a thing or two about music. I am a huge fan of the "old sound" of r&b/soul music. This CD speaks to me. I was really surprised at her growth and maturity as an artist. I was not a fan of her earlier work, but her courage to step outside of the conformity and create something original and unique, and not only that, but also, music that showcases who she is as an artist. My favorite songs on this albulm are: T.O.N.Y., I Decided, and Sandcastle Disco. If you like easy music to groove to, this is definitely the CD for you!Read full review
I love this CD because of these songs: Tony, I Decided, Valentine's Day, 6'0 Clock Blues, Ode To Marvin and Would' Been The One, which has that old 60's feel. She almost sounds like Miss Ross. Solange's voice is sweet and she has great control. I like her sound because it's not loud and screaming - her tone is nice to the lobes and sweet. She is not getting the credit she deserves. I can't wait to hear her next project. She's a very proud mother and she loves her son. You can feel her love for him in a couple of her songs. This is a nice CD and it has that old school feel to it. It's nice, relaxing and soothing. This bird can fly, this bird can sing. You go girl! God Bless.
I fell in love with this album as soon as I heard the song "I Decided." I love Solange. She is truly an original musician of another time. Don't compare her to Beyonce, though! Her lyrics are bluntly honest and untrendy. Don't buy the album in hopes to find the lyrics in it. Unless you really want the original CD buy it. Track listing: 1. "God Given Name" (S. Knowles, R.
