More quotes by Solange Knowles
I just feel so much joy and gratitude that people have connected to it in this way. The biggest reward that I could ever get is seeing women, especially black women, talk about what this album ['A Seat at the Table'] has done, the solace it has given them.
Solange Knowles
Style is the way we communicate who we are to people before we open our mouths.
Solange Knowles
I have to learn how to say no a lot. Life is too short for anything else.
Solange Knowles
There's just so, so many overlooked R&B artists and I think it's really about, again, being sensitive to whatever you're addressing culturally. I just always try to have a sensitivity to it and what that might make someone feel.
Solange Knowles
I actually produced other people's vocals for a long time when I first signed my publishing deal and I had just sort of decided that I only wanted to be a writer. I would be in all of these writing sessions, and a lot of times my publisher would say, You should get a demo singer to sing it because then it doesn't identify as a Solange song.
Solange Knowles
I don't really have guilty pleasures. Anything musically that I fully, fully believe, is good no matter who the artist is, no matter what the marketing is behind it, I stand pretty firm.
Solange Knowles
I love when rappers have a off-beat, very abstract timing, and he certainly did.And any rapper who really approaches rapping with the art form of songwriting melodically - I know a bunch of rappers who actually go in before they write the lyrics and come up with the melody. And you can hear and feel that difference so much when that's the case.
Solange Knowles
One of the things I'm most proud of about myself is my ability to fail in front of the world. You have to have that attitude when you want to experiment in art, in music, in writing, or in fashion.
Solange Knowles
The album ['A Seat at the Table'] really feels like storytelling for us all and our family and our lineage.
Solange Knowles
We are getting an education of a lifetime. We're actually out there in the real world.
Solange Knowles
A lot of times I use live musicians, but I don't want it to have that live funky sound so I'll just take the best loop of a drum part and repeat it over and over and over again so that there's consistency and it feels a little bit more programmed. But I have a love/hate relationship with comping as well.
Solange Knowles
There's a lot of situations where I feel irony involved when R&B and hip-hop is expressed in the indie worlds. There's a lot of times when I feel like the juxtaposition becomes a thing.
Solange Knowles
I was working through a lot of challenges at every angle of my life, and a lot of self-doubt, a lot of pity-partying. And I think every woman in her twenties has been there - where it feels like no matter what you are doing to fight through the thing that is holding you back, nothing can fill that void.
Solange Knowles
My parents only played Isley Brothers, Marvin Gaye. That's when New Kids came out, and we wanted to jam that. My mom was like, Put that thing off and put my damn record on. So from old school to '90s to recent, it's just always been there.
Solange Knowles
I remember being really young and having this voice inside that told me to trust my gut. And my gut has been really, really strong in my life. It's pretty vocal and it leads me.
Solange Knowles
I think every generation has that movement of hip-hop that you know you're playing it and you definitely have that moment of like, Why am I saying this so enthusiastically? Why am I so stoked and psyched to say these lyrics?
Solange Knowles
I remember Björk saying that she felt like, no matter what stage in her career, if a man is credited on something that she's done, he's going to get the credit for it. And, unfortunately, that still rings true.
Solange Knowles
I think many people, especially from other cultures, just don't understand the role hair plays in Black women's lives.
Solange Knowles
I really don't listen to anyone that I'm not proud of saying that I listen to. Even if it's something a little bit more unexpected, I didn't get too deep into the Waka, Gucci records, but I like those with pride.
Solange Knowles
You get educated by traveling.
