20-year-old singer of song Solange Hilario is almost certainly one of the current pop landscape's Top 2 Solanges.
Her debut single, 'Tick Tock', is out on July 27 [iTunes pre-order] and we should have posted it on Popjustice ages ago because it's really rather splendid, but we didn't so apols for that.
Here's the video.
It's good isn't it? It doesn't really sound like much to start with, then by about a minute and a half in you realise it's actually pretty special.
The basic story with Solange is that she once came fourth on Portugese Idol (didn't we all) but more recently she's been working with All About She, Red Triangle and Cutfather.
Here's another picture of Solange, proving once and for all that you can't go wrong with a good hairflip photo.
There's even — brace yourselves — a photograph of Solange IN COLOUR.
Naturally 'Tick Tock' comes with a variety of remixes.
This Wideboys one is pretty good.
The Wickaman mix, meanwhile, is quite enjoyable if you like the boinky drum 'n' bass sound that's taken over half the Radio 1 playlist.
Not feeling that? How about the Electronic Youth remix, sure to be quite enjoyable if you like the wobbly deep house sound that's taken over the other half of the Radio 1 playlist.
Here, finally, is an acoustic version which may well appeal if you are a fan of brilliant, smartly-executed electronic pop music with all the smartly-executed electronic bits taken out.
We've asked Solange's people if we can hear some more music because it feels like Solange might be onto something rather good here, and they've send us this — another song called 'Time'.
And as we prepare to finish writing this post our thoughts now turn to how we might promote it across social media and, with heavy heart, we conclude that it will probably involve shamelessly using the word 'SOLANGE' without the word 'HILARIO'. If you have indeed arrived here today expecting some Knowles action we can only apologise, but we hope you have enjoyed what you have heard and do not hate us too much.
