Soulstar back again, giving you guys the scoop on underrated artists. This entry's dedicated to a truly slept-on artist who holds more talent than her overexposed sibling: Solange Knowles.
A gifted songwriter, Solange has written for her sister Beyonce ("Upgrade U", "Get Me Bodied", and "Flaws and All"), Kelly Rowland ("Simply Deep", "Obsession", and "Love"), and a host of others; she also recently scored a publishing deal with EMI. Not only this, but Solange has a beautifully airy voice that floats over her music, which recently has been a mix of 60's Soul, R&B, and Electronica.
The eerie, yet soothing melodies and production of "White Picket Dreams" only touches the tip of the iceberg. Her upcoming album is set to be released in March of 2008 on Geffen Records.
You can find more information about Solange on her MySpace page: www.myspace.com/solange.
Until next time, stay blessed and support good music.

I want to dislike her because that "to the left, to the left" Beyonce song quite literally makes me want to rip my hair out, but I will check her out because you told me to. =)

Good song-- took a couple of listens to fully appreciate all the harmonies, but it was really interesting
