The Daffy, Mesmerizing Retro-Soul Surreality of Beyoncé's Younger Sister

The Dallas Observer ran an article about Solange titled The Daffy, Mesmerizing Retro-Soul Surreality of Beyoncé's Younger Sister

"It's awfully tempting to make rash, inflammatory statements about Solange Knowles; to contend, for example, that while big sister Beyoncé has the dazzling singles, the scorched-earth howl and the megawatt tabloid royalty, the elder Knowles has never concocted a full hour of music as singularly and bizarrely mesmerizing as her younger sister's Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams, which was released to critical, if not commercial, acclaim in August.

But despite the sisters' shared qualities—an affinity for high-priced, retro-futuristic R&B, plus a distinctive, insouciant snap to both their voices, whether in soft spoken-word asides or full-on nuclear shrieks—this is like comparing apples to fruitcakes.

Solange is, delightfully, the latter." - Dallas Observer
