Review - :
Manager and record company president {$Mathew Knowles}, having established {$Destiny's Child} -- featuring his daughter, {$Beyoncé Knowles} -- as the top female vocal group of the early 21st century, has gone on to try to build an empire that includes solo releases from each of the group members, an acting career for {$Beyoncé}, and, now, the premature emergence of younger daughter {$Solange} as a {^Solo Star}, or so the album title would have it. Executive producer {$Knowles} has surrounded {$Solange} with a bevy of trendy writer/producers, including {$the Underdogs}, {$Platinum Status}, {$Timbaland}, {$the Neptunes}, and {$Rockwilder}, along with such guest stars as {$B2K} and {$Lil' Romeo}. The result is a state-of-the-art {\contemporary R&B} album full of big beats, catchy choruses, and gimmicky production effects. But the nominal star of the show is lost somewhere in the mix. It doesn't help that the 16-year-old has a thin, undeveloped voice that is easily overwhelmed. The way to deal with that, of course, is to cut back on the busy production. {$Solange} impresses most when the arrangements are simpler, such as on {&"Crush"} and {&"Wonderland,"} when she doesn't have to work as hard to be heard. But there aren't enough tracks like those on the album to allow the listener to tell whether there is any talent here, or whether {$Solange} is just another cog in her daddy's entertainment machine. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
