With Beyonce as your older baby, the bar for folk honors is basically unreached. Solange addresses this profound truth on the opening track of her soph album, then proceeds to stray from her previously teen-friendly roots - and anything her big sis might do - with a advanced, artsy and often flakey set of songs. Too bad they�re not all that captivating. Even when the �60s-inspired production makes sense (which it often doesn�t), Solange�s voice is frequently grate, and the end final result is a less successful exercise in something you�d expect from Erykah Badu or Andre 3000.
