Imagine how difficult it must be to be the little sister of one of contemporary music's most popular acts...always being compared to the glamourous, more popular older sister. Solange struck out on her own a few years ago with a solo project, but it didn't catch on.

Well, here Solange Knowles finally makes a name for herself with this upbeat and catchy single, "I Decided" - sort of like a cross between Diana Ross and the Supremes and En Vogue with a modern twist. It's very addictive and unique from what is out there right now and I guess that's why it appealed to me. Solange's voice is different from her sister Beyonce's but no less appealing. I don't know what the upcoming CD SOL-ANGEL AND THE HADLEY ST. DREAMS will have in store for the listeners, but "I Decided" is hot. Well done, Solange!

This is my most favorite Solange song and video. She looks amazing in it- so stylish, cute, and classy. her vocals are awesome and the fun is fun du-wop, soul, r&b mix. It is really amazing and worth a lot more than 99cents -i'll tell you that!!

solange knowles has been making a name for herself by getting rid of her famous last name and doing her own thing as a singer and actress.

her film appearances leave something to be desired at this point. it's only a matter of time until she gets the right role in the right project.

musically it looks like her time has come with this uptempo retro-tinged tune! the arrangement features that infectious beat that is found in motown recordings of the early 1960s and her vocals are a great combo of rough and silky. i wish the accompanying video was a little more in control because that time capsule concept is just an excuse for a beautiful young woman to wear weird clothes and do bad dance moves. like we really need that!
