TCHIKITAH 2,810 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 So already listen to Solange's album about 3 times and I just couldn't get into it. I can't even remember a phrase or lyrics that stuck on me, and why does every song continues with the same rhythm and tune!? like it drags a lot since is so slow and melodic in a way that makes you want to take a nap for a few days. More like 'Let's Sleep on the Table'... and those interludes are just so out of place with the exception of like one that I think kinda blend into the next song very good, the interludes in this album are just there to make it more "relatable" to the black community obviously. I don't know, I'm not dragging the album or anything I'm just giving my opinion, my expectations were kinda high since everyone was saying that it was so good and what not. Like what happen to the up beat Solange? Why all of the sudden trying to be political and wanting back to your roots?  Well this doesn't sound anything like her roots: "I decided", "Dancing in the Dark" or "This Could Be Love"?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic 11,922 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I don't like it either. It's a bit like a watered down Lemonade. The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that's very close minded to think that seeking security for one community is the way to go, but why not seek the help of others and make it more relatable to people from different communities to create a union that would help each other. All this does is create "walls" between themselves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones creating a divide here are the people who don't see the message in her music and just want "bops". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas P 18,380 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 It's my second favourite of 2016 behind Lemonade, but ya I can understand not liking it. It's a really good example of how music is very subjective. I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bette Davis 12,742 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Am I the only one who thinks it's better than Lemonade? Cold as ice cream, but still as sweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
