Second single for what? Radio? No. Nothing is getting sent to radio. Maybe we'll get a video.

It's a shame that her songs aren't getting radio releases. "Losing You" has potential to do well on CHR/Rhythmic and could help increase her exposure for the EP and her upcoming album.

Saw her live this weekend. I didn't really have any expectations, but she was fantastic! Her vocals were pitch perfect, and she had a surprisingly beautiful falsetto. I believe she played all of "True", "T.O.N.Y." and "Sandcastle Disco" from her last album, and "Crush" from her debut. Her encore was a lovely rendition of Selena's "I Could Fall In Love" -- probably my favorite of the night. Go and see her if you get the chance!

Crush was the only decent song from her debut album. Get Together was an Aaliyah throw-away.

I thought Solo Star was complete trash when it first came out, but now I like a few songs on it ("So Be It," "This Could Be Love," and "Crush"). I never would have gone back and given it another listen without the brilliant material she put out after it though.

I don't know why her and B don't just tour together. Solange would be a great opening act.

I'll never understand Crush not being the lead single from SS.

Ya'll gonna make me dig thru my cd collection for Solo Star. I haven't listened to "Crush" in years. That was a jam!

It's kind of crazy now seeing that Solange actually came out with her debut album before Beyonce "technically" did. I wonder if her album would've did better coming out later.
It was so much mature than the other songs on the album plus with live instruments it fits into her current sound scape that she is going for.

If she ever opened, it wouldn't be so much of a 'getting out of B's shadow thing' as it would just simply be like a family act. There's no need to be negative about Solange winning new fans on a global scale with a tour like B's.

Solange is more talented than people are willing to give her credit.

Solange is a truly talented individual. It's a shame she will likely never have the success she deserves.

I loved that performance. I also love this limited edition cover for the EP. i.imgur.com/pVNLVl9.jpg?1[/img] I'll be using this one on my iTunes.
