Name an editorial that natural, cropped hair Solange has appeared in that didn’t give you your whole entire life. Right, impossible. No such thing. Rubbish.

And let’s also get into how timely the style direction is. I have to note that the ’60s has a huge impact on Spring trends this year!

She discusses the benefits of a good sex life:
So how does the new album sound? ‘There’s a lot of sexual vibes on it. I think I just finally started having good sex,’ Solange says, before smiling a touch coquettishly. ‘This woman came up to me the other day and said, “You know, I think people dress a lot better when they’re in love with themselves, with other people, or with where their life is.”?’

It means you aren’t dependent on some A&R dude to position you with writers or producers or figure out your next direction,’ she says. ‘Major labels act as banks in terms of how they produce and release your album. No major label is really good or bad, they just 100 per cent operate as a business, which makes sense… no hard feelings.’
