Japanese edition contains two bonus recordings: "Naive (with Beyonce Knowles featuring Da Brat)," & "Blinded."
With big sister Beyonce taking a break from Destiny's Child and kickin' it with Jay-Z, younger sib Solange emerged with her debut SOLO STAR following a high-profile turn hosting the very first MTV TRL tour. Despite having impressive name recognition, Beyonce's baby sister shrewdly enlisted the aid of high-profile collaborators including producers Timbaland (a Dawn Robinson-like "Get Together"), the Neptunes (the buoyant love note "Crush"), and the team of Rocwilder and former 4 Non-Blondes singer Linda Perry (a simmering "Wonderland"). Guest vocalists also abound and range from St. Lunatic Murphy Lee on "Thinkin' About You," (recycled from the SCOOBY-DOO soundtrack) to the hard-driving "Dance With You" featuring B2K.
Solange dispels notions of being a bubble-gum prop via two songs: the edgy "I Used To" with its multi-layered harmonies, and the funk-fueled "This Could Be Love," both of which were co-written and co-produced by this multi-talented teen. Her coup de grace is "Feelin' You Parts 1 & 2," on which she also racks up a writing credit. Taking a page from Missy Elliott's recent work, Solange incorporates plenty of sinewy Middle Eastern grooves and exotic percussion along with a dash of attitude from guests N.O.R.E. on Part 2.
