I lost track of the years I waited for Maxwell to release an album (No I haven’t it’s been SEVEN Years). But Ladies and Gents, the wait is almost over over on July 7th ‘BLACKsummer’s Night’ is finally here! I’m overjoyed! It is said it’s the first installment of a trilogy, lets just hope he doesn’t let us wait an enternity for installment number two. I know it’s still a month and a half away before you can wrap your fingers around this beauty and caress your ears with his lovely voice, but in the meantime just listen to ‘Pretty Wings‘ and get in the mood.
Yes yes I’m back, I know it’s been a while me leaving my mark in my virtual home,jeez you can see the cobwebs already.Not much has been going on here, until….. yesterday! Yeah I finally did something (been busy thesis writing).
And I did the best thing I could do… I went to see Solange Knowles or should I say Sol Angel and the Hadley st Dream in concert. If you missed it maaan you missed a stunna show. It was awesomo!
I’ve been playing her album since I think September last year, and loving it ever since. My friends dragged me to an Alicia Keys concert in Antwerp last year. It’s no secret I kinda like Alicia’s music but didn’t really feel like going (budget problems hahaha). So I was thinking of ways to get out of the obligation, until I saw who was supporting (can you even say that). It was Solange and I thought AWESOMOOOOO!! And it was nice, looking around I was probably the only one singing allong to well, pratically every tune. (since it has been playing almost on repeat on my trusty iPod).
So when I saw she was going to drop by one of my favourite venues and that for only €15,- , shoot well I just had to go! Too bad not a lot of people had that same idea in mind. Either they didn’t take the time to listen to the album, said ‘well she prob just a cheap knockoff of big sis’, were broke, or had no time. Basically THEIR LOSS! ‘Cause Solange is one of the freshest people out there. It’s just too bad that the Melkweg was filled only half way, but that didn’t stop Solange and the band. No way JOSE! They killed it, straight out murdered it! Even though there were maybe a little over 150 people in the venue, all of them 150 people knew almost every song, and sang along loud & proud.
Solange used to remind of Big Bird,in my mind she was tall & a bit goofy like Big Bird and her eyes in my mind stood the same way as his. But I take that back, in real life up close (she jumped off stage to dance with the audience so I saw up close), she looks far from that yellow bloke. I ment no disrespect saying she looks like Big Bird, cause I think Big Bird is fun and dope, goofy too. But Solange is doper than him. And for all those who keep comparing her with Big Sis, DON’T! She in a league of her own, and that league is pretty mighty impressive. Solange is my favourite Knowles by far, matter fact one of my favourite singersongwriters by far.
DON’T MISS THE NEXT CHANCE YOU GOT AT SEEING SOL ANGEL AND THE HADLEY ST DREAMS IN A VENUE NEAR YOU!
