One of the most pleasant musical surprises for me in 2008 has been Solange Knowles’ Sol-Angel And The Hadley St. Dreams, which, unfortunate cover art aside, strikes a balance between R & B confessional and pop confection quite nicely. The video for “T.O.N.Y.”–one of my favorite tracks on the album, it’s her ode to a night out that led to some pretty huge consequences–incorporates pregnancy tests, Cee-Lo, and a really gorgeous zebra-striped coat; it has a kinda-weird bit where she’s waiting for EPT to give her an NSWR, but at least it ends happily. (For her, anyway.) [YouTube]

Brave choices, Brave Choices…
“Sandcastle Disco” ROCKS!!
I love “Sandcastle Disco” too. It’s pop perfection, and what should be on the radio instead of that Pussycat Dolls nonsense…
