In 2007, Solange signed a new record deal with Geffen Records and released her second studio album, Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams, in 2008. Featuring collaborations with producers like Mark Ronson, the Neptunes, and Cee Lo Green, the album marked a stylistic departure, blending Motown-inspired soul with contemporary R&B. While it received favorable reviews, commercial success remained modest.
Following this, Solange joined her brother-in-law Jay-Z’s label Roc Nation and released the True EP in 2012, a seven-track project co-written and produced with Dev Hynes. The EP garnered positive critical responses, particularly for its eclectic blend of soul, funk, and new wave elements.
In 2013, Solange parted ways with Roc Nation and founded her own music label, Saint Records. The venture was a pivotal moment in positioning her as a creative force in the independent music scene. Through Saint Records, Solange aimed to provide a platform for genre-defying artists of color and released the compilation album Saint Heron to spotlight emerging talent.
Beyond music, Solange has also worked as a fashion model and style influencer. She previously modeled for House of Deréon, the fashion line created by her mother, Tina Knowles. Her distinctive fashion sense has earned her recognition in the design world, where she continues to blur the lines between music, art, and fashion.
In November 2019, Solange took the stage at the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in Los Angeles, a music and arts festival curated by Tyler, The Creator. The event drew widespread media attention when headliner Drake, appearing as a surprise guest, was unexpectedly booed by attendees. Solange’s performance, however, was noted for its artistic staging and emotional depth, reinforcing her reputation as a boundary-pushing live performer.
