Solo Star is the debut studio album by American singer Solange Knowles, released by Columbia Records and Music World on December 26, 2002 in Japan and January 21, 2003 in the United States. It debuted and peaked at number forty-nine on the U.S. Billboard 200 and number twenty-three on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in early February 2003. The album produced two singles: 'Feelin' You' (featuring N.O.R.E.) and 'Crush' (later renamed to 'Don't Fight the Feeling'). 'Feelin' You' reached no. 73 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart.[2]

Critical reception[edit]

| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic | [1] |
| Slant | [3] |
William Ruhlmann of AllMusic gave the album three out of five stars saying: 'Executive producer [Mathew] 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. Slant Magazine gave two out of five stars, saying: 'The largely synthetic-sounding Solo Star follows the growing industry standard in which the focus is on production rather songwriting', also adding that Solange's voice is uncannily similar to Beyoncé's.[3]
Release and promotion[edit]
The album was released in December 2002 in Japan, while it was released in United States following month. It under-performed in the United States, selling 112,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan,[4] and dropped off the chart five weeks after its debut. The only two singles released from the album, the N.O.R.E.-featured 'Feelin' You (Part II)' and the Neptunes-produced 'Crush' (also known as 'Don't Fight the Feeling'), failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. The album is no longer in print and the online music website iTunes does not sell the album. A re-recording of 'Crush', with vastly different instrumental and harmonies and featuring Papa Reu, was included on the movie soundtrack for The Fighting TemptationsHow to download broforce for free. which stars Solange's sister Beyoncé. This re-recording was renamed 'Don't Fight the Feeling' to match the movie poster's tagline. The album was promoted with Solo Star Tour in 2003.
