Solange Knowles - Impressive New Single

Cats: New Singles | No Comments »

I have to say im very impressed. The last time we listened to Solange was when she was a teenager singing pop rnb music and trailing behind big sister.

Now she has a new funk-soul album coming out by the looks of things. And from the tracks so far that are leaked, it sounds like Amy Winehouse meets Motown rnb. And we aren’t complaining at all.

This throwback sound trend doesn’t really seem to be going away soon, but Solange is doing it better than a lot of others that are riding on Winehouse’s coat-tails. I guess like all sounds though, every second act will try to jump on the band wagon.

Also I am impressed that the Neptunes did the beat for this lead single. Pharrell and Chad seem to be on a bit of a role lately!
