SNAPSHOT HOOPLA
This time around, Solange's focused on her musical career. She has written the hits for Beyonce such as "Upgrade U", "Flaws and All", and "Get Me Bodied." Not only for her famous sister has Solange written hits. She wrote the title track for Kelly Rowland's debut record, "Simply Deep" as well the Destiny's Child ballad, "Bad Habit" that Kelly sung solo on. Solange and Kelly recently team up on the song, "Love" which is featured on "Ms. Kelly."
Daniel Smith Jr's mother recently added the leaked song, "White Pocket Dreams" which is reminiscent of Kelis meets Corrine Bailey Rae.
Her sound is far from her sister and lyrics proves she's a stronger songwriter. Check out a new promotional picture Solange posted up on her myspace:
Her new look is quite edgier than her debut album look's huh? Solange in one of her myspace blogs has mentioned her influences as Gnarls Barkley, John Legend and Bilal and has written for Sunshine Anderson. Solange describes her new sound as a "fused downbeat electronica with 70s soul." I will say that "Feelin' U" with N.O.R.E is my favorite Solange solo record.
Here's the two songs of Solange that were recently leaked online:

Kelis and her fashion sense always seems to be a step above what everyone's rocking.

Kelis and 'Sin City' beauty Devon Aoki have posed naked for a new book. The stars have bared all for art photographer Marc Baptiste's new book 'Nudes,' along with 'Bring It On' star Gabrielle Union and 'Traffic' actress Erika Christensen. Aoki is already used to posing for photographers. Before her big break in 'Sin City' she was an acclaimed fashion model. The pictures are to be unveiled at a lavish launch party at New York's Milk Gallery Thursday night. It is not yet known if all the star models will attend. However, Mos Def, Wyclef Jean, Kelly Rowland, Forest Whitaker and Chloe Sevigny are among the celebrity guests who will be at the bash.
