SOLANGE!

Solange Knowles, orig­i­nal­ly uploaded by Black­mail Is My Life.

Yes­ter­day I rode my bike over to Com­mu­ni­ty Col­lege of Philadel­phia to check out MTV’s Rock the Vote show. Solange was the big high­light for me. She played five songs, includ­ing “Sand­cas­tle Dis­co” and “I Decid­ed.” Her band was great, the back­up singers were real­ly fun and her per­son­al­i­ty seems much more fun and nat­ur­al than her fem­bot sister.

It was a great time. I’ll be writ­ing about it and youth vot­ing lat­er today.

FAVORITE SONGS OF 2008: SOLANGE — “SANDCASTLE DISCO”

Bey­on­ce’s lit­tle sis­ter Solange is prov­ing to be one of the most pleas­ant sur­pris­es of the year. “Sand­cas­tle Dis­co” is anoth­er one of those songs that should’ve been released the moment it was clear that there’d be noth­ing fun on the radio between May and August. I mean, how could a song this fun be kept from a mass audi­ence in times like these? It’s the sort of song you’ll be singing in front of the mir­ror into your hair­brush. For a few min­utes, Solange’s “Sand­cas­tle Dis­co” makes you for­get about how bad it is out there. Shred the unpaid bills! We need more confetti!
