Love the concept. Production: fantastic. Vibe; a little too contrived but all the same appealing. Voice: a not so good Beyonce.Dont hate me yet.

I ain’t gonna lie: I wasn’t exactly buying the whole “Solange-as-aesthete-outsider” story that was going around last year in advance of the release of her latest album. I get that she (or the execs at her label, anyway) wanted to make it clear she wasn’t her sister. I get that. I get that they were [...]
