SOLANGE OPENS UP WITH ESSENCE

Wednesday, October 3, 2007

Solange Knowles recently sat down with Essence magazine and discussed everything from her recent divorce to her love of writing music. The 21 year old mother to Daniel Julez (3 years old) seems to be in a really good place in her life right now. Here are some snippets:

ON DIVORCE & BABY JULEZ

ESSENCE.com: As you know there’s a lot of mystery surrounding your relationship with your husband, Daniel Smith, so let’s just go ahead and get that out of the way. Are you still married?

Solange Knowles: Well, I am no longer married, but I think it’s very important not to dish details. We are friends and we coparent our son. When he gets older I don’t want him to read anything about me saying anything about his father or vice versa. When there’s a child involved I think the less information given is best.

ESSENCE.com: Speaking of which, let’s talk about little Daniel Julez. How old is he now? Is he talking?

S.K.: Oh gosh, yes, he’s more than talking and has a smart mouth already. He’ll be 3 this month.

ESSENCE.com: Considering the talent that runs in your family, do you think he’s headed for the industry?

S.K.: Unfortunately, it seems like something he’s interested in. He really likes the limelight.

ON BEYONCE & THE INTERNET

ESSENCE.com: So you don’t aspire to your sister’s level of superstardom?

S.K.: No, I don’t want to get that far. (Laughs) I feel really bad for my sister. I’m always like “Oh, let’s go to the mall” or “Let’s go here” and she can’t. I enjoy having that.

ESSENCE.com: But do you ever feel as if you have to compete with her?

S.K.: No, I think that as artists we’re totally different, and when this record comes out it will express that. But I admire my sister so much. She’s one of my role models in that she is successful and classy. She’s very diplomatic and lives her life true to self.

ESSENCE.com: She’s been known to say she doesn’t go on the Internet because of all the craziness. Do you avoid the Web and reading what’s in the blogosphere?

S.K.: People actually e-mail me the links all the time, and I’m like “Okay, thanks I really wanted to see that.”

To get more info on that infamous Lil Wayne rumor and more, make sure you read the full interview over at ESSENCE.COM.

IS'NT IT FUNNY......

Those pics….uh…. SOLANGE should just stick to what she does best… being BEYONCES little sister. LOL!

Her and her husbands DIVORCE was the Knowles worst kept secret… but that BABY is cute….

And do lies just run in the family, because I seen SOLANGE on t.v and she said herself that BEYONCE has seen some of the things said about her on the Internet and she’s cried behind it. That’s sad….. okay….NEXT!!

Kudos for her being very mature and not saying anything negative about her ex and also realizing that there should be no competition between her and her sister, b/c their styles are so different. She actually looks nice on the pics, minus that Wendy WIlliams pink lipstick. I just hope that Daddy Knowles doesn’t try to manage her son, Daniel’s career.

One more thing… I stay LMAO at celebs saying they can’t go out in public because people will recognise them……it’s not that hard BEYONCE… take off the extra large LACEFRONT, the FAKE EYE LASHES, MAKE-UP and the GLITTER DRESS… and I wouldn’t even know who the hell she was. LMAO!! Swear I would walk right past her. I love her, but everytime I see a candit picture of her just walking around town, chick looks like she stepped strait off of a VIDEO SHOOT or a LIVE PERFORMANCE. LMAO!!

I’m saying if ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT (America’s most wanted) can walk around outside then so can you. Take off the COSTUME and you’ll be fine. SMDH

the middle pic looks good. i think that is crazy to say u dont want to go that far. so u mean to tell me if someone offered u a multi million contract for endorsements you would turn it down because u dont want to go that far? please. beyonce is making that money and lil sis will do the same too. her lil boy is too cute and i agree the marriage thing was just the “right” thing to do at the time.

Tho its very easy to ‘forget’ about Solange…I really think she is about to emerge as an individual……she’s entering a season right now where she will be viewed for more than “Beyonce’s Lil Sister.” She definitly has my respect.

#1 maybe thats y she doesnt go online cuz she has seen the negativity in the past and just quit

I dont know about her music…

I actually have Solange’s first album and it’s very soulful and unique… I think the problem is that her management (her daddy, Mr. Matthew Knowles) and the rest of her team, is trying to market her in the same stream/genre as her sister (duh.. Beyonce Knowles)!!! When Solange is a bit more mellow and deep, more in the same genre as say a Heather Headley. However I wish her all the best… and if her first single catches my attention I just might go cop the entire album!

I agree with #5, we wouldn’t even know who Beyonce is, if she took off all of the extras, she would just look like a regular round the way girl, with a shape.

14.

WTF

Beyonce is far from classy she quickly get to shakin that half-naked body for the clintele when it’s time to sell records. SMH @ the lies.

I actually like Solo. She has what seems to be a very real, round-the-way girl personality. She seems like she would be easy to talk to, and not snobby.

Her singing is ok, but she is a great writer. She actually helps B write alot of her songs.

I knew the marriage wouldn’t last. I don’t even think it was a real marriage. The only pics I saw of them together were those wedding pics. Mama Tina was most def not happy in them.

#5 that’s true. Whenever Im in L.A. I never recognize celebs unless someone points them out to me first.

And what’s so hard to understand about Solange not wanting to go as far as her sister?…First of all, she seems to appreciate the fact that she can retain some sense of normality (i.e. doing regular things like going to the mall). #2 She really doesn’t need to go that far. Trust that with Beyonce’s success her family will never have to want for anything.

Well…I tell ya what….she should give her sister tips on how to do an interview. I think she did a good job on this one. And as many have stated already, Solo and her ex-hubby were more than likely PRESSURED to marry because of the child. You know this is one family who is dead set on APPEARANCES!

The interview sounds genuine and non robotic. I like that. Upfront and honest. No preplanned answers and even if they were she seemed to take the questions head on. Good luck with the solo career. She looks cute in those pics. She can looks somewhat drag queenish at times but she looks really good here and that lil boy is EXTRA EXTRA adorable! Good luck Solange!

I really like Solange .
Despite what people say about her, she seems to have a really sweet spirit , she has talent that goes unrecognized ( I didn’t say she could sing), and plus she seems to have some type of personality (unlike you know who).
And on top of that she is not getting her child taken away from her like some people in the media…lol….she is handling her shit.
I like the chick!!!

Hate to compare but….at least Solange actually writes her songs instead of taking credit for adding a few words. (Remember the “Irreplaceable”/Ne-Yo situation and the fact that “Resentment” was nearly exactly the same as Jazmine Sullivan’s demo version?)

I’ve liked and respected Solange since I heard the tracks she wrote for Kelly’s debut, the arrangements and phrasing were excellent. (the “you see with me you’re never liable to pain” bit on “Simply Deep”) She has real musical talent and not just a voice. I can’t wait for her album because I heard Bilal and Q-Tip are meant to be on it, so I hope it has more of a neo-soul direction instead of the pop direction Matthew made her take last time round…

Oh, forgot to add and she actually has a brain cell to her name when she’s in an interview.

———————————————————————————————————————–
I agree! I think that Solange is wise beyond her years, and her flaws make her human. A lot of young women can relate to her. She sounds like she has a good head on her shoulders, and having heard about some of the people she’s working on this next album with—-Cee Lo, Bilal, Marsha (of Floetry)—-she definitely has my interest peaked. I really like the 2 songs that were posted on CL earlier this year.

I think trying to compare Solange and Beyonce is like comparing apples and peanuts. They aren’t the same, people! The only thing about them that’s alike is the fact that they share the same parentage. I think that Bee was groomed to be exactly what she is, an international superstar. Solo has always been the rebel. She didn’t let her mom style, and she went about her own way on her first album. There’s a lot of refreshing, respectable qualities about the youngest Knowles sister, and I can’t wait to see what she has to offer the world.

I’m not feeling the pictures. Nor do I get this around the way image. At all. She is well spoken though. But I’m sorry, I’m not buying her image. It seems like an attempt to distance herself from Beyonce’. We all knew that marriage wasn’t real to begin with. It was all about the Knowles maintaining their wholesome image.

31.

Wednesday, October 3, 2007 /

did anyone think that their marriage would actually last???? she was like 17 when she married him….just cause they had sex and she got knocked up didnt mean that they should get married. now she’s 21 with a kid and a divorce under her belt….she shouldnt have listened to her parents….

Celebrities are always complaining about the media scrutiny and the lack of privacy, but trust they thrive on that crap. when your name is in the media whether it is in a good or bad light, that means the focus is on you. people get in the industry to get attention. the more people talk then the more in demand they are. I wish they would stop complaining because that is what you signed up for. true some of the stuff can be mean and hurtful, but I would be crying all the way to the bank!

Solange - Pics look like crap.. time for a re-do

Baby - “He really likes the limelight..” What 3 year old doesn’t like attention?

Beionca …I mean Beyonce - Make babies with Jay-z, and take a 2 - 3 year hiatus.

And why is she even being interviewed? What has she done that’s worthy of an article in Essence other than have a famous sister…i mean this is ridiculous, she doesn’t even have a successful album out now….the music industry is full of shit right now, point blank…this is obvious preferential treatment for no noteworthy cause….whatever.

I truly love this answer. I wish a lot of us thought like this. This made me like her more.

msfabolous

Wednesday, October 3, 2007 /

I agree @ #30…The image she has is, in my opinion, to distance herself from Beyonce….Like Ashley Simpson and Jessica….That’s what i thought after reading the interview….Ashley had black hair the whole rock/punk style…The rebel…I think she had the image to purposefully set her apart from her sister and it worked. Th type of music she put out, i think that was more her taste vs pop (i could be wrong) but her actual look was definetly (in my opinion) a strategic approach. I think she actually ended up selling more units that her sister… Now that she is established, she dresses and looks more like her sister. Just my thought…

As i have said in Kelly post, i wonder if she wasn’t Beyonce’s sister if she would be given this many chances/as much attention as she is getting

I understand what you are saying but everyone has a different set of values. I think this is the right thing for them. It didn’t work out,but a lot of marriages don’t work out.*shrugs*

I find what Solange DIDN’T say way more interesting than what she did say in this interview. For instance, she never denied a relationship with Lil Wayne, just that she didn’t leave her husband for him (which I believe, that relationship was over soon after the marriage, I’m sure).

45.

Solange is a Model

Wednesday, October 3, 2007 /

Solange is actually a better model than Beyonce. That’s just my opinion. She looks more like a model. Beyonce is just pretty. Solange is model material.

48.

WOW

Wednesday, October 3, 2007 /

I read an article a few years back after Solange’s “not-so-great” album came out(JUST MY OPINION) where she was saying she would like to be like her sister…I also read an article where Beyonce stated she prefers to be more relaxed and in jeans and a T-Shirt and no heels when she is not on tour or doing a gig. I have yet to see her not looking like she just stepped off a video shoot, but as much as the PAPS follow her I would look like a million $ getting out of bed too. I must agree that Solange appears to be mature in her thinking/statements with the exception of stating “I don’t want to go that far.” perhaps she meant she doesn’t want to have to put on a disguise to get ice cream with her son she wants to…Who wouldn’t wnat to make millions hand over fist!!

Those pictures are a mess. She’s so akward and unattractive. She should just stay behind the scenes and write her sisters songs and raise her kid. Or whatever it is that she does.
I do think she needs to hold back on letting her Dad throw her child out there, I understand they love the attention, but atleast let him get older and have understanding before capitalizing off of him lol

That “interview” was pretty pointless, but i guess it gets her face (lol) out there

Solange looks sooo much like her daddy and Beyonce automatically reminds you of Tina…thats cute…ok anyways..I like Solange her first album wasnt that bad, I vibed and cleaned up the house to it a few times…Ma isnt ugly like ppl claim she is, she has her own look and folks love to hate on what isnt the same or average….Her interview was pleasant, she seems mature for her age…I wonder what happen with Beyonce? Lol…lemme leave that girl alone b4 the stans attack…lawd have mercy….

Wednesday, October 3, 2007 /

I have always like Solange. I brought her first cd and if she comes out with another one I will buy that one as well. Being that she is Bey’s sister, she is not trying to imatate her sister whatsoever. There are quite a few female singers that were doing Bey and they failed at it. Be yourself. She is being herself and that is cool in my book. Solange keep doing you thing.

Though she’s young, she really seems mature esp. having gone through divorce so soon, but she has the right perspective on coparenting - and raising her son - which is always the priority.

I expect she will be a better business woman than anartist - and she’ll probably succeed at both. She definitely has the pedigree.

Chanté

Wednesday, October 3, 2007 /

My opinion is unpopular but ohh wellll….Solange is probably the only person with a real musical identity in the Knowles camp, and sorry Kelly but I actually respect Solange more. I think many people refuse to give her the benefit of the doubt because she’s B’s sister. The marriage was a fiasco, okay get over it, she was on 17, I blame the parents for bad influence/decision. As for the pregnancy, accidents happen, BOTH Daniel and her are to blame, but the girl kept the child and decided to raise him, parenthood at age 17 is not “cute” but at least she learned from it and took responsibility. Her child is happy and healthy, time to MOVE ON now. The girl is obviously intelligent, well spoken, mature and knows who she is and what she wants, at only 21? I respect that.

We can say and think she will never be as big as Beyonce, but the same was said about Janet at the beginning of her career when she was being compared to Michael, so who knows? Janet is a better businesswoman than Michael, in a far better financial situation, although she faced a divorce at 18 years old she is happy in her personal life now, and she can come back more easily. She is NOT messed up like her big bruh. Solange? She wrote for Beyonce, Michelle and Kelly. Also, she’s been in movies, they use her voice for kids toys, she did the Wal-Mart commercial theme song, so basically she’s PAID. Solange is not in the limelight but she’s smart and has a good sense of business. That’s why I respect her more.

I can’t wait to hear the album, I’m curious to hear the music. She’s finding her niche. I love her new sound, that electronica thing mixed with R&B is dope. Who is she working with? Marsha Ambriosus of Floetry, Bilal, Cee-Lo, Q-Tip, now if that’s not evidence that the girl has a minimum of TALENT I don’t know what is, I mean look at the names, we ain’t talking about Gangsta Boo and T-Pain, these are some serious people she’s working with. Even her debut was cool for a 14/15 year old girl, believe it or not it was a decent debut, but now she’s 21…on another level. I like Solange, and I wish her success.

Who didn’t Lil Wayne go with. They all got Chlamydia in my opinion, and Solange baby look strange…well, she does so that would explain it.

Essence need to be interviewing Kelly to help her with her album. Essence is getting so tabloidish. I feel sorry for Kelly…they should have asked her about why her daddy don’t promote Kelly as much as he does Beyonce.

Oh, and if Solange looked like Beyonce Matthew would definitely have her out there in a lacefront and 6 inch heels making that $, she just not that pretty and light skinned. Just keeping it really real y’all

SO FRESH

Wednesday, October 3, 2007 /

I live in Houston, and I have been hearing rumors for a long time about Solange’s husband Daniel…or shall I say “ex” husband now.

I been knew that they were divorced. They tried to keep it a secret for a while, but they know that secret couldn’t last long.

Well anyway, the rumor here in Houston is that Solange divorced Daniel because she found out about his “hidden” sexuality…if you know what I mean. Now y’all can take that and run with it. That rumor has been going around for too long. I honestly think it’s true. There is too much evidence to pin on him.

70.

EBZ01

Wednesday, October 3, 2007 /

I love the 2nd and 3rd pic……1st one is odd. I do go hmmm about why she probably divorced her husband but well she don’t want to talk about it and that’s fine. But damn we are the same age and I can’t even imagine getting married RIGHT NOW let alone already being divorced….that’s crazy.

I wonder why she says unfortunately that her son likes the limelight….besides it being a total fiasco if you’re extremely popular when you want to go out and do normal things. To be as young as she is and have a son that young she is getting her own money….props to her for that.

Lol she’s not lying about so much music being about DRINKS…..lol she ain’t lyin’, she ain’t lyin’…..I had ENOUGH when I heard My Drink N My 2 Step …..sorry Cassidy.

Pretty good interview….she sounds nice.

I love Solange and I’m glad she finally decide to tell her fans something even though I already knew she was divorced, and the reason being was that Daniel was a major hoe he was messing wit just about ever black girl in the Valley (Los Angles Area) and the baby was only like 3 of 4 months old. This idiot would have Solo and his other hoes at his football games (he played at a JC in LA not at the University of TX like the Knowles wanted you to believe) all at once, he had no respect and no consideration for her as his wife or the mother of his son. I’m proud of her, and kind of admire her strength for moving on, and I can’t wait to go get her new album her and Letoya are both dropping early next year I’m so excited I can’t wait!

I HATE WHEN PEOPLE COMPARE SIBLINGS(AS FAR AS LOOKS) IF I HAD 3 DAUGHTERS OR 3 SONS I WOULDNT WANT PEOPLE COMING UP SAYING “SHE’S PRETTY” WHEN I HAVE 2 MORE KIDS STANDING RIGHT BESIDE “her”. SOME THINGS ARE YOU SHOULD KEEP TO YOURSELF

@21…..Now seriously, do u think anyone can pressure Solo 2 do anything?
She probably showed up and said, “I’m preggers and this is how it’s going down.”

If nohing else, this girl comes accross as having a mind of her own. No diss to B but Solo is most def is not under anyone’s thumb. Maybe that why I like this chick.

#5 - If you didn’t know, Brad and Angie have 2-4 BODYGUARDS (depending how many kids are with them - lol) that are with them constantly (not to mention the nannies). You don’t see them in the pics because photogs want Angie and Brad.

Beyonce has tried walking around regular and got mobbed. Check out pics when she’s shopping at beyoncworld.net. She IS at that level. When she’s with Jay they only have 1 bodyguard. And THEY NEED A GUARD BECAUSE JAY’S WANTED AND SHE’S WANTED - THEY WILL GET KIDNAPPED OR WORSE.

Kudo’s to Solo - appreciated her 1st album and will cop this one. She’s mature and what’s better - SHE DON’T GIVE A F*CK!!!!!

I actually saw Solo in a Denny’s on the Vegas Strip (VMA weekend). It’s was about 3:30 a.m. and she was just there laughing and chilling. She is really pretty in person by the way. But for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why she was in Denny’s instead of getting room service. Maybe she’s likes the Grand Slams. Lol. But, she was just there….doing her…….

@ # 15 CARLISSIA

… And you just had to be the first one to start the “BEYONCE WARS” didn’t you? SMDH!! LOL! I am commenting on the article, the same way you supposidly are, but as usual here comes someone like you commenting towards others comments as if it’s your DUTY to monitor whats going on and being said. I would put you on blast about how i’ve noticed in other posts when it comes to YOUR screen name is one of “THEM”… but i’ll be nice and say if you don’t like my comment then oh well…. do like JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE said and “CRY ME A RIVER”… oh yeah and KICK ROCKS while your at it. :)

@ #83

I understand that those people have BODY GAURDS, I have also seen pictures and live video of people walking around without them. Like I said before if someone like them or JANET JACKSON can walk around and have a day out on the town…. then so can she, PERIOD. The one’s that really have it bad is people like BRITNEY SPEARS…. black people don’t have it no where near as bad as that girl. That’s my point… if Beyonce choses to be a prisoner in her own home then that’s something for her to deal with. If she would take off half that mess she performs in when she goes out, she really wouldn’t have a problem. I think JAY-Z would be recognised before her. I live in CALIFORNIA, so mabe i’m jaded *shrugs*. And LMAO @ you saying they will get KIDKNAPPED, how in the hell could someone KIDKNAP Jay’s BIG @SS? ROTFL

I’m not feeling these pics. However I do respect the interview.

As far as her getting pregnant and married, white people do it all the time. And at least they tried their hand at trying to work it out. He could have just went right into dead beat babby daddy mode. These people are human and make human mistakes!

As far as her carreer…I think she might have a little something working for her. She is trying to find her own way and she is still young so she can try different things. And the fact that she is writing for her sister, kelly and others as young as she is says a whole lot about her. So I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. To me she seems strong willed and intelligent (can’t say as much for her sister who to me seems a lil not so smart and easily trained).

The # 1 way to fuck up a child or parent-child relationship is to lie to a child.Tell them anytime afterwards, and it still doens’t take the lie back. Good Luck on that one!!!

I don’t know y some one would to interview her ass besides the fact of knowing what happened with her marriage to her fine ass ex husband n how the hell she became a teenage mother. I swear that shit was planned just so she could get some attention from her a family n the public

SOLANGE IS THE MOST SWEETEST PERSON…. YA’LL HAVE TO GIVE HER A CHANCE…DONT SLEEP ON SOLO!….. SHE IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM HER SISTER. SHE’S NOT STUCK UP THATS ONE THING I CAN SAY…SHES EASY TO GET ALONE WITH …DONT JUDGE HER, BECAUSE HER SISTER IS BEYONCE MUCH RESPECT TO HER. I HOPE SHES WORKING ON A NEW ALBUM.

I have to say, I think Solange does interviews much better than her sister. I’m glad she kept the details of her divorce to herself because just because its not the public’s business what happened there, and it’s definitely not good for their son to air dirty laundry like that.

I wish they would’ve had a pic of her son! Just adorable.

Everybody knows that Solange and Daniel got married because she was preggo. I guess Papa Knowles felt that a divorce would look better than having a child out of wedlock.
Not really feeling these pics of her….I’ve seen better.

WELL I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN A SUPPORTER OF THE KNOWLES FAMILY, NOT JUST ONE PERSON BUT THE WHOLE FAMILY!!!!!! IM NOT REALLY INTO TALKIN BAD ABOUT GOOD PEOPLE AND I THINK SOLANGE IS GOOD PEOPLE. SO WHAT SHE HAD A DAMN BABY AT A YOUNG AGE ATLEAST SHE WASNT ON MAURY TRYING TO FIND OUT WHO HER CHILD’S FATHER WAS SHE KNEW RIGHT OFF WHICH IS MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR THE REST OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE. BUT ANY WAY OF COURSE THEIR IS NO RILVARY BETWEEN SHE AND HER SISTER THAT WOULD BE SO SICK!!! SHE IS VERY CLASSY IN THE WAY THAT SHE HANDLED THIS INTERVIEW, SHE SIMPLY ANSWERED QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE KEPT ASKING AND LEFT THE REST UP TO THE IMAGINATION. I REALLY WASNT A FAN NORE WAS I A HATER BUT I HAVE A WHOLE NEW RESPECT FOR HER SHE IS VERY CLASSY. I ALSO GOT A SCENCE OF TOUGHNESS FROM HER SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MS. JONES TRY THAT SHIT SHE DID WITH BEYONCE AND MS. TINA WITH SOLANGE SHE WOULD PROBABLY END UP WITH HER ASS BEATS IM JUST GUESSIN! LOL!

Solange will never be like her sister Bey because she is not as marketable. Meaning she lacks Bey’s more mixed/Creole look. Solange got knocked up for attention. Y’all know how it is in the black community between sisters. The lightskinned sister with the “good” hair and the green eyes gets all the love while the darkerskinned one sits in the background while everyone oohs and aahs over the other one. This is the case with Bey and Solange. She probably has always had to sit in the background while friends and family and now the public made out over her lightskinned big sis.
