Solange Knowles knows all about living in a shadow, as her five-time Grammy-winning and multi-platinum-selling older sister Beyonce must cast a football field-sized one.  The younger Knowles, however, is clearly eager to gain some ground in this sibling rivalry. Her possible second single, Sandcastle Disco, off her sophomore album, Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams (out August 26), is a catchy little pop anthem in the vein of Rihanna’s Umbrella.  Set against an oldskool breakbeat produced by Soul Shock, Solange’s voice sounds eerily like Beyonce’s with a diminished range.  Still, the track is just endearing enough to make up for this.  I’m not sure what Mathew Knowles fed his daughters growing up, but whatever it was, it worked.

Solange is herself in her own right. She seems to be taking an entire different direction from her sister. I can definitely dig this. Soul Shock's production is very eclectic and Solange's vocals are really natural. I think they could've been turned up a bit though. This is definitely a solid track though. I'm looking forward to the release of her album.

People need to immediately erase all comparisons to Beyonce. It's a shame that many listeners won't accept the fact that Solonge is an individual artist with her own unique style. Her angle with this record is very different than the popular trends on the charts today, but she does a nice job incorporating modern day influences with old school sounds.

This lady seems to be tring to set a tone for herself which does set herself aside from her big sis. With that being said, I do not like this song on first listen.

Charlie says: "Solange’s voice sounds eerily like Beyonce’s with a diminished range" AND HE IS RIGHT. Therefore, it will be hard for me not to slightly compare her to Beyonce. We all compare one thing to another, if it's not musicians then it's pizza shops, cars, plasma TV's, laundry detergents, maybe not the last item. Overall, she did outdid herself on this track.

It is an unfortunate circumstance when people s**t on your career before it ever really has the chance to take off. This girl cannot help that her older sister is an iconic worldly pop star. Give her a chance...

i feel like i want solange to succeed in her career because i almost would feel bad if she doesn't since her sister is so amazing.. but i think she needs different producers, song writers, something.. maybe someone featured on one of her tracks to kind of get atleast a good radio hit to start off with or something.. so far her first single off the new cd and this one tho are not impressive.. tho maybe i haven't liked it bcuz the style of music.. she hasn't really been r&b or hip hop related with these 2 singles.. maybe she's trying not to so shes not like her sis, but if so then this is the wrong site to get feedback from bcuz no1 lookin at djbooth will really like the style of music shes trying

It's quite useless but not bad...I've heard worse, for sure! Yes her voice isn't that powerful, but considering that sometimes Beyonce's voice gets on my nerves, I almost prefer her sister's one...more sweet! I'd like to know if she can sing live ;)

It's a good song to go riding too. I could listen to this song with the windows down on a long trip away from home. But then I would probably get sick of it after a few times.

I was listening to "I decided", and said to my mother she sounds like beyonce, except with a voice thats not as strong, but you said it better, I like solange though, and yeah like someone says she is differant from her sister, but that hasnt always been the case, in order for her to have her own persona, and to be seperated from the shadow of her sister, she had to go a differant direction, and make a spotlight for herself. If she didnt everyone would say she was just trying to be a follower, like lindsey lohans little sister, whom thinks its great to be exactly alike. I never thought solange was trying to be like Beyonce, its just everyone else expected her to want to be!

Charlie E's review:"Solange’s voice sounds eerily like Beyonce’s with a diminished range..." you know she would claw out your eyes if she read that!! I think she's underrated for obvious reasons (read the review)
