New Audio: Solange, “F*** The Industry Signed Sincerely”

Posted by Mike "Evorgleb" Belgrove

Solange is trying to break out and appears to not be happy with how the music industry is trying to shape her.

Solange is wylin’ out. Juan just yesterday spoke on how she’s not falling in line with her mom and sister’s clothing business and now we have her speaking out against the music industry. She wrote the following on her blog…

“Unfortunately I’m in an industry where diversity is not celebrated the way it should be. When some people see and hear something different it feels foreign to them and they don’t like that. Everyone has a choice of what they like and that’s a beautiful thing! But record labels, managers, publicist, journalist, media etc… have a tendency to see something work and try to reciprocate that with another artist thinking that’s what makes success. To me what makes success is letting people be truly who they are.”

It’s not easy being a person who desires fame and fortune after an older sibling has already achieved it. Just look at Ray J. His desire to be famous like his sister has resulted in him becoming a complete and utter clown. So I guess I have a little respect for Solange in that she doesn’t just want to ride coattails. Check out the radio unfriendly cut below where she speaks on how she feels about how the music industry feels about her.

November 2008 from what I hear with most of the production done by Timbaland and Darkchild.

But anyway back to Solange, she actually seems to at least be able to sing as well as beyonce ( Ill leave it up to you to decide whether that is good or not) and she seems to be rather creative. Too bad for her she will always be seen as “Beyonce Jr”.
