At least she has on the same pair of shoes this time!

She is sweet and I love her very much.

She is a hot member of a d’ating c’lub ” C asu al se ek . co m “. Seems she is seeking c’asual lover. Does she feel lonely?

WOW, WELL THE COVER IS BRIGHT AND HAPPY FEELING. REMINDS ME OF THE 80′S FOR SOME REASON

lmaoooooo why did she do that look?

like some fairy dust should be falling from the sky soon

one more thing this cover remind me sooo much of the MTV commercials they stay playing with the rainbow and graphics, I see it alot on MTV2. Not that orginal

Good luck to her, maybe she will be like an Ashely Simpson type of success.

Has anyone ever heard her music?

Major FAIL

Stupid name + Stupid hair = Stupid human being.

Got to be tough being the LEAST talented person in the family. I rather buy Kellly’s garbage that this. Well maybe not, but you understand my point…

I am not feeling her look at all! Fire your mama, you need a make over!

Yellow frock, blue shoes, and red wings?

Somebody’s been playing in the medicine cabinet again. Stay off the Rocks people.

I’d like to really hear her explanation about this cover….

“I chose this cover because it was free and we found those items near by in the trash…so overall I love it because it’s just different you know like me!”

mojojojo

lmaoooooo why did she do that look?

like some fairy dust should be falling from the sky soon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DEAD!

i think it’s obvious. the pic represents a “street dream”. i mean, in my opinion, it looks like a street nightmare straight outta the movie “IT”. but, whatever…

“I took the elememts around me to create this album cover” I wanted it to define a my style and my music. So “I decided” to use a bunch of grabage”

-Solange Knowles

btw, she just is not photogenic. will everyone please stop taking pictures of her? or just catch her off guard. she’s so much better at candids. i think she should dye her hair brown and wear it shoulder-length and wavy or something. this jet-black wig wearing has got to STOP. artificial does not sit well on top of ugly.

…bon dieu de bon dieu!…

…qu’est-ce que c’est, alors?…

…cette “ange” est perdue…

egads!

.

ok so Solange is starting to grow on me. i like her new song(don’t kno what its called) i think she trying to come in to her own. and there is nothing wrong with her face…to all of the UNHAPPY @SS LITTLE GIRLS on this post

i think it is great! i admire her boldness! http://www.girlfriendchurch.com

Everyone doesn’t have to be a star. If my sister was Beyonce, I would have no problem being proud of her and supporting and promoting her. I don’t feel the need to compete for everything. She’s a mom, why can’t she just be happy as a mom. Her sister made it famous as a singer, so now she has to be a singer? She can do something else…the world is full of opportunities Solange. She should want a career that her son can be proud of anyway, something that inspires him to be a better person and make a difference in the world. I’m just saying…obviously this ain’t working. Explore other options girl.

Like the cover but not her hair.That is the only thing i would change. I might give so long a chance. I like all the colors and stuff?

I’m really just playing. I actually like Solange. I just want ther to find herself.It looks like she’s trying different things until she figures out “who” she wants to be.

A nice bob on her woild look good…or she can even go short….

I like her song too…its called “I Decided”. I’m probably will buy the CD when it comes out.

who cares about the cover of the CD anyway…shouldn’t it be about the music inside?

Solange reminds me of Tracey Ellis Ross (from the show girlfriends) in that picture!

I downloaded some of the “leaked” tracks and they were fiyah! I’ve been waiting on this cd for months! However, she annoyes the f/ck out of me. She tries waaayyyy too hard for any use!

If you live in Houston or have been to Hadley Street, you would understand why the trash is on the ground. I don’t know about the ghetto where you live but in Houston it isn’t clean but remains full of dreams…

I like the cover. Creative. The modeling sucks but the cover and title is creative.

@ Kesha thats the smae thing I always think about Solange. Just because Beyonce made it as a singer doesn’t mean you can. Solange needs to get a clue and just find her own niche. Why doesn’t she try to work on making The House of Dereon an actual wearble clothing line. She could really improve it. The Knowles have the money to hire the best designers in the world. IDK there so many other things she could prolly be a lot better at. Solange put the mic down and find your real talent.

lawdy if the girl puts on a brown lacefront yall will swear she’s tryna be like her damn sister. let her do her thang and stop being hating ass vultures!

no, everything is not on point but im more than sure yall didnt wake up this morning looking 100% either.

WTF?

:-/

i LIKE HER AND i LOVE HER SONG “I Decided” Thats just me and my opinion.

i really think somehere are mad that the own careers are sky rocketing. I congratulate

I just don’t get it. The song is so-so, but the whole look, and the whole I want to be the anti-Beyonce thing just isn’t working. We all know they’re individuals, and there may be some who expect her to wear gold glitter and lamme, and shaker has ass, but in all actuality, most people won’t expect her to be a carbon copy of her sister. She needs to tone down the hair, and wardrobe and give folks a chance to focus on her music as opposed to the circus attire and atmosphere she seems to embrace.

@ Corree

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I like Solange I really like her song (I Decided), and the video…I think she is all about “having fun” in her own right. She’s not trying to be Beyonce, Rhianna, Ciara, MJB, or any other person out…she is Solange!!!

I am not mad at the cover I am not mad at the video for “I Decided” I am happy to have something fresh and new – YEAH SOLANGE.

Looking at it, I feel like I just took some Ecstacy. Major hallucination…

Good morning everyone!

It’s very clear she’s not trying to be like big sis. Ya’ll some haters. Do You Solange.

@ Aunt Viv

Good Morn-ink 2 u 2…

plain weird…she’s just screaming our for help…and who every her producer is…they need their aztec beat!

SHE NEEDS TO HANG IT UP. SHE JUST DOESN’T HAVE IT.

LMAO!!!!!! IS SHE SERIOUS?????

no, really, IS SHE SERIOUS?????????

(sighs deeply)

I am sadly disappointed that she has on “STOCKINGS” skin tone and how many different variations of these “antiqued” record players are they gonna throw in this pic? Not feeling the red angel wings either. Oh well. I hope she sells.

A bunch of 45s….the top of a tuba….an old record player….this chic is weird….

AUNT VIV

HEY HUN!!!!!

Looking at it, I feel like I just took some Ecstacy. Major hallucination…

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO

I really think some of you NAY_SAYERS need to Re-READ what you’ve posted. If Solange came out with blonde-colored hair and doing “get me bodied” type song y’all be quick to say…”she just like Beyonce” (in a hating old grannies voice) but she wants to “go left” let her go… I like “I Decided” i think it offers something new. so give the girl a damn break already

p.s. I still stand by my prior comment but she needs to be given a fair chance to fu(k up….

Why is she standing in a disco junkyard and looking confused. Well, I am confused too. What the hell kind of concept is that? And why is she rocking those red wings?

Someone is trying waaayyy to hard!

How can she grow up in the ghetto when DC took off when she was not even a teenager. Pretty much of her life she was well taken care of! I’m not sure where Hedley St. is in Houston but I know 3rd Ward is far from the REAL GHETTOS from what I know to be Ghetto/Hood.

I mean there is nothing wrong going after your dreams she has the means to do it and fail and try again. Many of us dont. I wish her well.

@Envy Me & Just Sayin’

How y’all doing this Wednesday?

I was going to say that the art director needs their a$$ kicked for letting this cover go to the printer, but most times its the ” ” artist thinking they know about visual art.

Everytime I see work like this I realize how blessed I am.

Just laughing to myself on how many people are saying what she needs to be doing and how to do it. When I wonder if they have even stepped close to their true dreams or have tried something and people shytted on them. I mean at the end of the day if she achieves or fails she is doing her thang.

Just kinda funny.

Creative concept, unique…..wierd you say?!…will make her a success in her own right, aside from her sister.

Remember the same people you like to call wierd are actual genuises.

*A weird person created the concept for the internet…..

@ Kompton Kutie:Whoever thinks Solange grew up in some dirty, underdeveloped neighborhood is either mistaken or Tina Knowles is a liar, because Tina loves to tell everone how priviledged her children were growing up.

She looks like my girl Erykah Badu in this picture.

she aright

she is doing her thing

if I must – she look really white is she bleaching her skin – maybe its just all over body make-up

*geniuses…Ooopps

@Just Sayin,

Same ol’ same ol’. I have a major headache but tryna manage…

Good luck on your shoot-going anywhere fun?

I like the album cover and I like her. Such haters on here! You’ll give her such a hard time just because bey is her sister and that’s not fair. They are sisters there will be some similar things about them. Plus her sister will help her and why not that’s what sisters do.

Hawt!!!

GO Solangel!!!

@Corree

I do remember they had a low point. Losing their house, etc. becuz Matthew felt DC was hot that he quit his job and devoted his time to getting them a record deal.

But whatever, this is good for her.

keep it moving Solange, shyt is hot!!!

Ib die bail, ib die succeed…at dease I’ll lib as I be leeb..

Huh?

She has some good songs…she will never recover from being Beyonce’s sister. NEVER.

This cover reminds me of Goapele’s “Change It All” cd cover but Goapele’s looks more natural. It looks like the record company was trying to give Solange some Badu-type flavor.

i dont get how its random! she has wings like an angel and she on a street with music equipment!!

She is an M.I.A swagger jacka

@ HoneyBrown(Check me out!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That’s where I remember this cover concept from.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I’m calling Goap’s people right now.

@Just Sayin’

Just need to let you know that I’ve got “Turn off the Lights” in my head heavy now lol!

Well personally I like the song “I Decided” and I’m looking forward to see what she has to offer on the album.

The album color looks like a throwback to the psychedelic 70′s which works if according to Solange is supposed to be what this album is based off.

So what if she’s different or dresses different, if I recall OutKast also was EXTREMELY different when they first came out…

I say do your own thing your own way, the only thing anyone up here will ever amount to is “commenting”

live.love.laugh.

THE KNOWLES WOMEN KNOW THEY LOVE BIG HAIR. DAMN!

i’m an “old head” & i really like “i decided”-

it puts me in mind of back-in the day 70″s music;even a hint of 50-60′s music.which brings me

to a lot of the music out now: a lotta disco beats!

i guess trying to take us back to “kinder,gentler days -if there ever were any !

I understand what she’s trying to do, but it’s coming off odd and contrived. She needs to concentrate on making good music and not attempting to pull us in with gimmicks. The cover shot sucks both in composition and message. And I am being nice.

@Envy Me…Word! lol

she needs to quit trying to sing all of her albums are a flop… poor thang

She looks cute. She could have come up with a better scenario for her cover. Did she even work with a professional?

@ Aunt Viv

You would not believe how many people say I look like him.

I attempted to do a remake of one of his songs, but they won’t play it on the air. It goes somethin like this.

Turn off da lights, and pull ya thong down…

Cause tonite, I’m in a fuc@in mood… yeah..

Lets take a shower, shower together… (move over damit)… I’ll wash ya ass, you was mine girl…

Rub me down wit some hot boiled beans baby…

And I’ll do the say thing for you…

Just…

It is so far different that I like it, I like it alot, it is like something out of a little house on the prairie set except she is black with clear skin

Don’t know what will happen…

As long as there no gyrating or sweaty butt cheeks she’s aiight with me.

I wish her luck and I’m glad we won’t be seeing T&A like everybody else or singing about all the great things she can do with her love or her snatch, lol.

Celebrity CSI

lol….hey hun

@ And..

again

Truth lol

A mess!!!

Solange is trying very hard to distance herself from Beyonce in any way she can which is why she has this somewhat abstract album cover and chose to work with the producers she did.

She wants to create her own brand identity and I ain’t mad at old girl because who in the hell wants to always be reminded of being Beyonce’s sister. She’s an artist in her own right and if this is what she has to do…so be it.

Nothing Nice – YOUR AN IDIOT. A DEGREE? THAT DOESNT GUARANTEE YOU ANYTHING. AND ENTERTAINMENT IS A PROFESSION. SHE IS TALENTED , IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY. I MEAN IF THAT IS THE CASE MOST PEOPLE IN HOLLYWOOD WOULDNT BE THERE IS THEY GOT A DEGREE.. WILL SMITHS SON IS FOLLOWING HIS FOOTSTEPS…ALL THESE CELEBS CHILDREN HAVE OPPORTUNITIES. IT AINT NOTHING NEW. LOOK AT THE FONDAS AND BARRYMORES….STOP HATING. TAKE YO DEGREE AND YO UNDER 50K A YEAR ASS AND LIVE CHECK TO CHECK

She looks like a wannabe Erykah Badu.

Makes me think of a garbage fairy who leaves garbage records.

Now I’m not feeling the album cover… i think she could have did something better than that background but I do LOVE her album especially the song “I decided”…she did her thing on that one. I applaus her for creating her own style and image and not going POP!

concerning my post earlier….saying she would never recover from being Beyonce’s sister means the comparison will never go away. Even if all don’t compare some still will. Hell, I remember when I wanted to be just like my big sister. I thought she was gorgeous, dimples, thick hair, and all the latest fashions. Now that I’m grown stuff is different but you can’t say someone you admire doesn’t influence you to some extent. Maybe she admires her sister??? Just a thought.

At least its unique.

She tries too hard for someone so not cute…and her whole steez just seems fake. Maybe her music is aight (I have no idea) but I just can’t get past her and her annoying shove-our-kids-down-your-throats family. She should just take her teenage mother ass and take care of her kid…or better yet, just do something else!

She’s trying too hard. If you have to go all the way left to not look like your sister, don’t you think maybe you should be doing something else? Be true to yourself Solange! There’s something out there for you but don’t do this. This is wrong. You’re compromising your self to be famous. If it’s there, then it will happen naturally.

i smell matt knowles

I just saw her new video…don’t know if its on purpose, but she looks like she’s copying Diana Ross!

“cause when you try hard, that’s when you die hard” a Kanye quote for you, Solange. I’ll be honestly surprised if she manages to sell even 30,000 her first week out.

sorry but herparents are just letting her do this to shut her up. she ain going nowhere with this. i cannot see grammys with this. the truth is if solange was that talented, with all the people shes surounded by and thereore all the opportunities, she wold have made it already, but she hasn’t… because she dont got it. that doesnt have to be a bad thing.

she has said before that she feels sorry for beyonce not being able to just go out yet it seems she wants a peice of wht b has got. when you are serious about a career in the music bus.. u do not get preganant at 17. that showed that she was not serious.

why arn’t her parent helping her find her own? to do something else? why are they building her up for a fall? even if she has a good song now she still oesnt have the potential to do it ling term and be a veteran.

p.s. she should be embarrassed for the mess she helped write on bday.

p.p.s. the hair really is not cute, the black and white nails just tell me that solange hasn’t found herself yet cos shes too busy trying not to be beyonce. and as a marketer i can tell you you that had she actually positioned herself next to beyonce.. then later try to distance herself… she would have had more of a chance… but if she does not want to be beyonce i gives me no push to hear her music.. as beyonce has lots of fans? who was she aiming to buy her records?

p.p.p.s… that cover ugly as hell.

yea, solange needs to truly find her niche soon. She needs a lot of work.

it must be hard being B’s baby sis. It’s as if God gave all the goods to B and she got seconds. If Ashlee made it, she can too as anything else but an artist. Nickey Hilton’s in the same boat. It’s OK to be Solange, make peace w/it.

@Thid One

That was some funny ish!!!!

What I want to know is that if Solange is a real writer, why does she only write for the people of Destiny Child? Real writers can write for other people which tells me Matthew is behind that ish too. Solange is not a writer!

U know what..ive been waiting for a cover that isnt BORING.

I mean luv BEE, but THE BDAY COVER S*U*C*K*E*D!! and you guys know it. Im tired of all these plain boring studio shot album covers (ciara, beyonce, ashanti(luv her tho) ) were they just have a tone color background. THOSE SUCK.

This cover has ALLOT to say and it was unexpected. Thats why i dig it..i think it woulda have looked better @ night rather braod day light but IM LOVIN SOLANGE now..her leaked tracks r sooo dope. I hope she has success..

JESSICA SIMPSON PT.2

OOOPS….I MEAN ASHELY SIMPSON #2

What an efficient blog post. Thanks for the share!

dude her new video had a big a$$ confederate flag in the back ground it was so much sixt in that video they missed it and it got aired!! wwuwt?
