Solange Knowles continues to prove that she is a multi-tasker, the “I Decided” singer/songwriter made her directorial debut when she took control of the video for her second single “Sandcastle Disco” recently.
In her directorial debut Solange, who also co-wrote Beyonce’s hit single “Get Me Bodied,” wrote the treatment for “Sandcastle Disco,” the second single from her album due next month. Taking fans on a roller coaster ride through cutting edge and inventive abstract visuals Knowles says “It’s a living pop up book.... each page folding over and zooming into the next. The colors are vivid, I used many references from the movie Across The Universe that are links in the treatment and also the HP commercials we've seen running with Jay-Z and Serena Williams.”
Written by Cee-Lo, “Sandcastle Disco” was shot July 15th and is expected to hit major networks within the next few weeks, just in time for the singer’s sophomore release “SoL-AngeL & The Hadley St. Dreams due August 26th.

Wasn't the music video for her first single all special effects? Why do that again? Lame.
That video concept doesn't sound too original to me. Hasn't that been done already? She sould've of done something different she does did a special effects video. And I've yet to see a video directed by a recording artist that was any good. It sounds really ego driven and not a good move. The song is good so maybe it'll overcome any potential visual disasters.
Yes! I can't wait I love that song. I was hoping it would be a single plus a video. I listen Sandcaslte disco here whenever I get a chance. Go Solange i can't wait to get your album. I love both singles.
