Solange

Beyonce’s younger sibling, Solange has severed ties with her record label Interscope Records.

According to aceshowbiz.com, her departure from the label comes on the heels of the poor performance of her only release on the Universal-owned imprint, ‘Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams’, which to-date as sold in the region of 150,000 since it’s release in August 2008.

Solange released a statement,thanking two executives from the label for giving her opportunity as part of the family.

She stated:

“I thank Ron [Fair] and Jimmy [Iovine] for believing in me as an artist and supporting my journey…and have nothing but respect for the Interscope family.”

“I’m excited about continuing to dive in, experiment and creating music and art with no boundaries, fears or expectations. Gonna be fun folks. Thank u all so much 4 da suppoke chop:) all supportive comments coming thru Gonna REALLY b up 2 U guys 2 carry on the spirit of the music.”

    We can’t all follow in the foot steps of our older siblings, maybe music really isn’t for Solange.

    I always love the comments that Solange gives out to the public, she seems sincere and intelligent.

    WOW!!! Well since Matthew is “big money bags” and all & has so much power (so HB seems to write), how about he PAYS these radio stations to play her music??? Or better yet why don’t she just hop on brother-n-laws record label (Def Jam) and call it day??? If she can’t get an album to sell with all of her connections & affiliations, then MAYBE (just maybe) this is not the career for her (smh)!

    Seems like to me Solange is getting greedy. Her album was nice, but I think she should go the independent route. There’s more control of your publishing and such in the independent path. As well, she has more opportunities of making more money with Solange status in the independent path. I think her being independent will make her more money and stuff.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MS_A_08/ MS_A_08

    I dont think music is her strongest suit. She has a certain vibe that the media is not really feeling anymore. She should try something else i mean ppl are so use to her being in beyonce’s shadow, they are placing her on a pedastool and its not working.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/shanelle_79/ shanelle_79

    Its such a shame she is getting dropped by her label, I loved her CD and I think her music is fresh and different.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/0VancouverHurts/ 0VancouverHurts

    Maybe if Solange turned into a Mason her music would sell and her fanbase will spread like wildfire lol.

    I actually liked Solanges DVD better than beyonce…..I think her music is very intriguing…….Its gotta 2 be hard for her living in her sisters shadow…people always comparing the 2….she has got her own identity and her own style and creativity …its just 2 bad she was not as appreciated for it……I hope she continues to do her thang and not allow anyone to change her vision

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/n0w_and_layder/ n0w_and_layder

    I love her cd it’s something different and it doesn’t sound like every other song that’s put out. I mean how many times can you remix a song. Then again I’m sure some people would get down to a remix of ABC’s. Come to think of it maybe that’s a good idea some might learn where to place their vowels. Wow and reading some of these ignorant comments is really ridiculous, lol. I guess you really don’t have to be able to spell, right, As long as you can sound it out. Different Strokes for Different folks!!!

    I think she needs to get with someone who can give her a non stop look. I don’t think the short hair was the right move. She has a beautiful voice and look maybe she should try her hand in acting. I could see her in a Tyler Perry movie.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kraycarr/ kraycarr

    Hold it now…some of you dudes are trippin…she might not be as talented as her sister, but she is far from ugly!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/QTEERO/ QTEERO

    Solange is a “different” type of artist and she is very talented. People always try to compare her with her sister Beyonce, which is probably why her last endeavor was not successful. As for Solange’s new haircut, I think she looks beautiful. She is a very pretty woman despite the two ignorant comments posted below my message. Take a good long look in the mirror before you decide to hate on someone else. There are not many female artist who dare to style and sport their “real” hair. Solange is just keeping it 100 with her new cut. I think we are due for female artist to do away with the extravagant weave and be who they really are. For instance, Kandi Burress sports her own hair and her cut is very chic and stylish. So much luv to you Solange and keep your head up. I am a fan.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/use2bLaMiathePink/ use2bLaMiathePink

    I agree with Kraycarr i dont think Solange is ugly at all . She got the wrong cut . I think she should smile a bit more with her eyes relax and thatll take a better pic . poor thing people r always going to judge her because of who her sister is .

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blaque_ivory/ blaque_ivory

    I liked her album but it was too unique for mainstream radio. I think her hair looks great and I’m glad more women are stepping away from the weaves and learning how to appreciate themselves the way nature intended. Any man talking about her hair has self-hatred issues and is fake and doesn’t deserve a real woman. And look at all the men commenting and being mean, do they really have any room to talk about anybody? If they have a problem with natural hair, they need to take it up with the creator and they fat bald headed mama for raising them to be total c**tcaves!

    I love Solange. She is fierce and dosent care what anybody thinks of her. More people need to be like that. And her hair is bold and different, just like her album. Women should wear their hair in whatever makes THEM comfortable. I think she stands on her own and if when people stop comparing her to her sister, they will rather enjoy her..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/smokedoggh2o/ smokedoggh2o

    I like it when a woman rocks the short hair dew, if she is thicker than a plate of fatback…other than that, it depends! Solange is beautiful, but I think she should grow her hair back

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MsSubmissive-Capable/ MsSubmissive-Capable

    Lol. Solange? The girl cant singgggggggggggg. If her father/sister, plus J-Z was not in the business she would have to get a job in a department store. Come to think of it, she is average looking too. Plain Janeeeeeeeee. I know, after all, i am a beautifull woman. Amber Rose makes girl like Solange look silly.

    Even the not so bright Louren London who need counseling for opening her legs for Lil wayne is better looking. which record did solange made that more than a handfull of people talked about? Sure hope her daddy reaction/karma that will one day catch up to him tond drop on her. She is riding on Beyonse coat tail. Forgive typossss1

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/flyfisher_20750/ flyfisher_20750

    I think Solange is bright, beautiful, and talented. This business is a killer. Everone is smart and pretty, most have some kind of voice. Too many all sound the same, like Mya or Monique clones. They put out a record or two and then disappear. It would be a shame to be Solange go that route, but at least she has a fall back position, model. Most of these other wannabees don’t have that much. I hope it works out for her. She turns me on a lot more than Beyonce ever did.

    Amber Rose?( Average white chick with a close cut and edgy fashion sense) WTF Why would anyone compare her to a beautiful black woman? Seriously some of you are conditioned to latch on to anything non black just because! Beauty comes on in all shades , especially within the black race! I don’t know why Solange decided to cut her hair short ,but it’s her head so let her do her and worry about your own d*amn head! I heard a few songs from her album and I think that she has a very nice voice, but her style is not what mainstream is interested in these days! She’s not Beyonce so people tend to think of her a failure in the music dept!

    Solange is ridiculously dope. As usual, people will hate. Folks, it is fine not to like something, but must we always shoot hate at something because it is not to our liking. Try building folks up instead of being so quick to judge and tear down. Give a compliment or encouraging word, instead of sucking the life out of others with your discouragement. Beter yet, if you have nothing positive to say DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. Bottom line, Solange isn’t mainstream and that is a key compenent that makes her fly to me. She seems like a beautiful person. I’ve been to several of her shows and she was dope and entertained the people without major theatrics, just beautiful energy, good music, and an awesome spirit.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/toodelicious4u/ toodelicious4u

    Solange… Key word, MODEL! Don’t sing. She should take advantage of her model figure instead, I believe she would have a much better chance at that. And for everyone who say that people are haten because they disagree with Solange work, need to stop it! If everyone had the same opinions on blogs than, this site wouldn’t even be interesting! I am one who believes that Solange’s talent isn’t in her singing. I also believe that Solange has gotten the rough end of the stick because of her very talented sister Beyonce. May be if Beyonce wouldn’t have come out before Solange maybe her and her album would’ve been a success. Oh and about the hair…. Very Brave!

    If she were allowed to do her thang without the assumed pressure of having to stay out of the lime light to which “only” has room for her sister Bey, then she wouldn’t be dropped. Her music don’t get played because her daddy wants it that way. If he could do all he has done to make his Bey the “queen” then surely he could HAVE done the same for Solange.

    I like her her music and her personal style. People need to be open to different types of music and stop comparing her to her sister. Solange is more original.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ebonyblazer251/ ebonyblazer251

    Not that surprising.

    But honestly, this is not that big a setback for Solange. The industry has been dragged kicking and screaming to an interactive, online infrastructure where the tech places the consumer in charge. iTunes, iPods (and other players), and ringtones matter more than CD sales, and music videos are getting the most shine online instead of on-TV. And terrestrial radio is getting beat back by internet streaming, satellite, podcasting, and smartphone apps (all without FCC broadcast content rules).

    There’s opportunity to be had as an independent artist. Solange can do just as much or just as little as she wants if she wants it enough.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ShaQuana-Tasha/ ShaQuana-Tasha

    I can’t believe her CD only sold 150,000 units. Her CD was really good. I keep it on repeat for real

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/cherronw/ cherronw

    I think she tries so hard not to be like her sister so she can’t be compared. She just doesn’t get the airplay that others do.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Candyboxxx/ Candyboxxx

    I think that she shot herself in the foot when she went on the t.v. interview and wrongfully accused the t.v. reporter of asking her questions about her sister and Jay-Z. Solange was trying to be protective of her sister, but she came across as very b***hy. This was around the time her cd dropped, so I think she became a turn-off to a lot of people who could have potentially bought her music. The fact remains is that Solange’s music is different…more poetic and less mainstream than Beyoncee’s; any negative publicity would have taken people off the fence and turned them off.

    Too bad though…There are quite a few of her songs that are very catchy and I love their retro flavor.

    …On another note, I don’t like her short afro…it doesn’t flatter her features. I think the afro should be grown out a bit more or she should go longer. Just my opinion though
