Its usually a good thing coming into the music industry with a sibling who has previously reached a high amount of commercial success. But it seemed not to be so when Solange Knowles (sister of Beyonce) first album was released. It under-achieved and many were wondering if she was going to release another. She has. And it is much better than her debut.
If the one thing Solange has that her sister Beyonce does not it is that she has substance. Her music does not seemed to be packaged and wrapped with a bow on it. It seems more like raw talent.
In terms of their voices. It seems like their voices are exact replications of the other. They have that same sort of range and it sounds pretty good.
It seems that Solange has finally stepped out of her sister shadow and given it to us with love.
But its not all good in the world of Solange. The slow-jam moments just lag the albums progression and you might as well just skip those. (Choice Cuts: Sandcastle Disco, I Decided Pt.2 and Ode to Marvin)
Rating: 62/100 (A good album just too many slow tracks to make a 80% album)
