Solange - I Decided pt 2
(written by Knowles & Williams; 2007; UK #27; August 2008)

Whilst Beyonce is forced to pander to commercial tastes, her younger and some what more funkier sister Solange is able to push a few of her boundaries. Part 1 is a hand clap sampling romp that out Motowned Motown, but Part 2, remixed by the Freemasons, is a dancefloor filling epic that should have been more popular than it was. The songs' parent album is also full of retro inspired fare named 'SoL-AngeL and the Hadly St. Dreams', and includes credits from Mark Ronson, Cee-Lo Green and The Neptunes.

Best Lyric: "You were running running me down/ Telling me telling me, wait"
