Jesus take the wheel, Solange Knowles has burnt me to a crisp with her new
Pharrell retro-feeling single “I Decided” and I don’t care what anyone says about her this song is pure fire! Girl go head girl, I ain’t mad at ya! (B. Scott doing a two-step!)

  • I love this song, but I’m not surprised because I’ve heard she is a very talented songwriter. I wonder if she wrote this.

    “I’m not BEYcoming expectations,
    I’m not her, and never will be
    Two girls going in different directions,
    Traveling towards the same galaxy
    Let my star light shine on its own
    No, I’m no sister…I’m just my God-given name”

    i LOOOVE this one & the lyrics! I love how she says shes not high in the end lol

  • I really like it

  • This is the second one I’ve heard that I like there’s another one called “Just my god given name” Watch out now, make your own way SOLO. I ain’t mad at ya.

  • I’m sorry Love Muffin Supreme, but I can’t go with you on this one. Some people are meant to be BEHIND the SCENES!! And why is she screaming??!!?? I will listen to it again to see if I can make myself like it. Jesus take the wheel…

  • You’re always on top of your music game, B.Scott. This song is hot and so is her other one that just leaked, called “God Given Name”. Someone posted some of the lyrics ^^ up there. I’m definitely buying her album.

  • Thank u for this B!!!! I’ve been hooked on it for like a week!!! I wish she would add it to her myspace page tho. I love the “Supreme” vibe from this track.

  • OMG!! She made me love this song..and I didn’t want to do it! <3 I’m doing a 2-step & the Paw Paw, I’m doing The 2-PAW!!

  • I really wasn’t impressed with this song. Not to say that she is a bad singer or anything, this just didn’t minister to my spirit..lol

  • I love it too B!

  • Damn….I had my heart set on hating it because I don’t really like Solange as an artist, but I really really LIKE it.

    I love it!! Makes me wanna Paw Paw all up and through..lol

  • im not a hata but i hate this song! To me Solonge sucks musically. She should let Beyonce guide her to stardom. it sounds like a church song. I just really DO NOT like it. Better luck next time Solonge.

  • I love this 60’s Motown feel this song has! Solange is a great songwriter and is quite the vocalist (listen to some of her past tracks) This is a very catchy tune.

  • ok i just listened to God given name and i would like to take the part about solonge sucking musically back. sorry solo! i guess i just dont like the other song. BUT God given name is JAMMIN i really feel it. She spitting fire and curse words. I hear ya girl! hey i make mistakes as well. ima go listen to that song again and WISHING HER THE BEST!!!! i told yall i wasnt a hata just wasnt very impressed at first.

  • I never saw the Beyonce comparison, except in some photographs. I like I decided, it’s okay after 1 listen. But I love God given name, it did sound like she way high but I liked that. It sounded real, unrehearsed, like it took one take and the lyrics are the shizz. I’ll be on the lookout for more.

  • Okay, I have listened to this song SEVERAL more times and I am really, really, REALLY trying to like it. I am just sorry, I hate her singing. The old school feel is nice, and I like the beat, but that SCREAMING that is suppose to be singing….Oh no!! Jesus took the wheel and crashed into a tree! Sorry Solo. Sounds like you are straining your voice on this one. I actually think Kelly Roland could have sung this song. What about Crisette Michele (did I spell that right?)?

  • I LOVE IT when is the album due?

  • OK WHY HAS THIS SONG REALLY GROWN ON ME IN A BIG WAY. IT’S VERY SASSY, IT’S GOT ME DOING MY SUPREME DANCE MOVES.

  • “I Decided” I LOVE THIS SONG! I’m from the girl groups era & this beat is a “Motown/Supremes” beat. Brings back old memories from 1963-64. Yes, we wore those clothes and did those dances performed in the “I Decided” video.

    Baby Girl,Solange, don’t worry about people comparing you to your sister or giving negative vibes. Keep up your own style & laugh your way all the way to the bank!

    Best of Luck….God Bless,

    Sister Wade from Darby-Township
