Musik In Review:Solange Knowles Presents"True"

I stayed up all night listening to "True" the new EP released by the 26 year old mother,singer-songwriter, actress, model, dancer, and DJ Solange Piaget Knowles. I close my eyes I picture myself in the mid-late 1980's walking through a gritty Times Square with a slight chill in the air, with those old-school limos passing by. You know that whole mid-temp 80's vibe, that's how you feel when you listen to this record and you wanna be transported back in time, to that period and live the life of an 80's pop-artist well at least I do. My favorite track is titled "Bad Girls Verdine Version" the melody of her voice is just so soothing on that track, as you relate to the lyrics of a troubled relationship as she sings "tell me what's wrong, I can't tell you what's wrong",and you think damn how many times have I felt like this with the person I'm with.

Knowles describes the 7 track EP as "more than an album to me it's a transitional time in my life." Regarding the musical direction of the album, she said the inspiration came from New Wave music and stated, "This is a dance record, but the lyrics can get pretty dark at times." In September 2012, Solange released a teaser video for, "Losing You", the upcoming single from her third album. This release marks Solange's first release as a signee of the independent label Terrible Records.The video was shot in Cape Town, South Africa around early September 2012. On October 24, 2012, Knowles held a listening party in New York City for her True, set to be released for digital download on iTunes November 27, 2012. I suggest if you love artistically fused music from such a talented musician you take time and download it.

Drew Vision Talks “Date Beyond” & “Big Little Lies” for VDay 2025

First and foremost thank you!!!! Now I’m not sure if you are familiar with Comospolitan magazine, well this setup for V-day is that from a guy’s perspective I love that you decided to bring up dating and relationships because as guys, we never really have the forum to really express that. With that being said what is your ideal first date and why…. Yeah, men can never express! And we’re expected not to have feelings so for most of my life, I didn’t, but I’ve been tapped in lately. For a first date I think it should be something very casual because the stakes shouldn’t be high. My ideal first date is something in nature like a scenic walk or a picnic. The reason is because nobody should be spending money on someone you don’t know and also it shouldn’t be somewhere loud because I think the conversation is the most important thing. Is it ok to ask what your dating situation is like gender wise, and how do you really know if you’re attracted to that person or is it just ...

She has it all from the girl next door appeal, to extreme sex appeal. I first took notice of her when I saw the Jamie Foxx ft Drake "Fall For Your Type" video and to be honest I had to take a sceond glance because I really thought that she was JLO.
