Just don't like it. Pos discussed this topic a little on "Me, Myself, & I". This is coming from what my cousin would call a "high yellow brother". LOL.

I thought this album was uneven compared to the first two especially "Just Like You". I feel like I know her, know her struggle, walked that path with her. I just don't get that from Solange. Now I may need to listen to it about 2-3 more times (listened 5 times through already). I grew up listening to Mary J. Blige and though she isn't the most technical singer, F's notes up at times, and does some over singing, but I'm looking for that connection. Like I said I'm not getting it from Solange. She has a couple of good joints on it to me. BTW I just seen a good picture of Jazmine and why did they make her lighter on her album cover than she is? I don't like that, but that's for another day....another discussion.

I think KC is drastically over rated and over appreciated and seemingly over does it almost every time. Solange surely doesn't have as powerful as a voice as Beyonce, but rarely have any singers been, but she uses her voice timely and efficiently. She's not needing to go crazy with "I decided" but she is seldom with her voice distribution. She has much more soul than either two, a unique soul and a genuine soul Thomas, one of my biggest complaints about Keyshia Cole is her over singing (mentioned thoroughly in my OKP review of her album).

I think I was expecting something quite different in terms of her voice.. I just don't think her voice is that good. I knew American Boy was a single and she didn't need any range, but I don't think her voice is that great. IT works in certain situations. The production could've been better to suit the flaws in her voice though, its a producer's job to fix those things up The solange is amazing Sup Ab,
