Look closely at what seems to be just an Orange block and you’ll see at the top, “Terrible Records Number Fifteen”. It’s the 15th project of Solange’s new home. Terrible records, started and built by Chris Taylor who is a singer, bass player, producer and hair stylist is the perfect match for Solange indie style. At the beginning of her career she fought to shake the label of being Beyonce’s little sister. She began to soul search with her 2nd project “The Hadley Street Project” which turned out to be a really good album (classic in my archives). Today she dropped her 3rd project, “True” which is a painting of The person Solange has grown to become. The earthy, visual messenger as seen on her blog “MyDamnBlog”. She’s a #Lifer! One who has found a median in their life that pushes originality to a place of solitude, self-appreciation and happiness. With this in mind, True is an 80’s inspired free soulful Solange.It opens up with a 80’s sound that reminds me of a Donna Summers Jam with “Losing You.” My favorite song on the album is, “Lovers In The Parking Lot.” I really dig this project and it sounds nothing like any of today’s music which seems like everyone got the same producer for their projects. True was written and produced by Solange Knowles and Dev Hynes.

Solange caused quite a stir when she released her new ‘Losing You’ video and she is primed to keep the momentum going with her new EP, True. Set to be released via iTunes in late November 27, the Dance-styled record was co-written and produced by Devonte ‘Dev’ Hynes.

True will be available to Solange’s fans on November 27th. Although many of us would prefer to get a full length album from the quirky singer-songwriter, the EP is already being heralded a solid collection of tunes that represent her artistry.

Read details of some of the songs from the collection below:

The True-EP sounds like it straight out of an 1980’s, with its Casio driven beats and corresponding synthesizers. Solange’s first single “Losing You” is a mix between Foster The Peoples “Pumped Up Kicks” and The Cars. Couple that with Solange’s subdued vocals and kind of cheesy lyrics.

1. 'Losing You'

Her first single is pleasantly upbeat for a song about love gone complicated. Solange asks, “Boy, am I losing you for good?” on this track, where the beat borrows sentiment from Madonna’s “Like a Prayer”—honest, tender, yet undeniably dance-worthy.

2. 'Some Things Never Seem to F*cking Work'

The title says it all. In a song about ultimatums and questions, Solange ponders the illusion of a relationship. The vocals compete with the beat on this one, but the focus lays toward the reverberating rhythms.

3. 'Locked in Closets'

If we were to ever hear a Beyoncé influence, it might be on this track, where Solange boasts her infamous Knowles vocal chops. The beat is reminiscent of Michael Jackson in his “Smooth Criminal” prime, and works flawlessly with her continuing theme of messy and addictive love.

4. 'Lovers in the Parking Lot'
The tempo slows a bit on this song, as Solange continues with a strong vocal range. She regretfully admits, “I played around with your heart,” a telling piano riff adding dimension to the project.

5. Don’t Let Me Down

This one is more playful, with an aggressive beat that could set the foundation for a hip-hop track if need be. Not as lyrically substantial as the rest of the cuts, a feature in fact may have been beneficial.

6. 'Look Good With Trouble'

Synth-heavy and full of echo, this track is versatile on its own—providing a respite from the poignant similar to the preceding one.

7. 'Bad Girls' (Verdine Version)

Solange works the hell out of a falsetto on this unapologetic tune about her personality quirks. Embodying the strength of a woman who knows the intricacies of relationships, this one bookended her set well.
