"Champagne Chronic Nightcap" featuring Lil Wayne (2008)
From: Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams
Solo's sophomore album ditched the safe pop sounds of her debut Solo Star and dipped into more slow jams. This U.K./iTunes bonus track gave the album the extra soul it needed.

"Stillness Is the Move" (Dirty Projectors Cover) - 2009
Indie rock group Dirty Projector's 2009 single "Stillness is the Move" was the perfect track for Solange to croon over. Instead of covering it acoustically, she samples Erykah Badu's "Bag Lady."

"Freedom" (2004)
From: Johnson Family Vacation Soundtrack
"Freedom" was hidden in this 2004 soundtrack. Why it never was a single is a mystery to us.

"Bad Girls -Verdine Version"
True (2012)
Off her latest EP, "Bad Girls" tells the tale of what a "bad" chick's life really consists of: old makeup, a broken heart and a guard that will never come down. Aka, the perfect soundtrack for single ladies.

"Valentine's Day" (2008)
Sol-Angel and the Hadley of St. Dreams
Okay, this isn't the happy V-day song you want to dedicate to anyone. From her sophomore effort, Solo tells the tale of a love that goes wrong just before Cupid can arch his bow.
