‘ROUND THE WAY: SOLANGE KNOWLES FEATURED IN HONEY MAG
Friday, October 2, 2009

Singer/songwriter Solange Knowles was featured in a dope new Honey Magazine shoot and she spills on the new hairstyle, the new album she’s working on and of course fashion. Peep a snippet.
On her Parents:
It’s interesting that people think that my dad is the one who’s all strict. They build up quite a character with that guy, and at the end of the day it’s my mom who’s going to give you the neck roll.On her new album:
It was definitely a concept record. I was really inspired by the ’60s and ’70s sound, mixed with electronic sounds and how to mash those together. With this record I am experimenting more with a really interesting mix of music. My describing it probably sounds crazy but I’m kind of working with tribal, Native American drums and mashing them with weird ’80s and blues.On if she’s dating rapper Wale:
Well, he’s definitely not my boyfriend, but we are good friends. I have worked with him in the past and I think he’s uber-talented. I think he’s really smart and really creative. And I respect his art. We have a mutual thing. We’re on the same record label and yeah…

The bit about Wale is actually translated as ”WERE FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS”
They know they be F*ckin!
That boy cut is really starting to grow on me though. Even though she isnt the prettiest in the bunch, make-up & flashes (fake eyelashes) does wonders on some faces!

She’s doing her.. which i love and respect. I don’t get a fake vibe from her like i do other artist. She’s a single mom like a lot of women i know and just trying to work. I am not caught up in hairstyles or what society deems as beautiful so i didn’t take a second look at her hair. She’s a pretty girl.. wish her all the best.

She really likes lifting that leg in pictures, huh? lol! She looks great! Seeing her close up on Oprah really gave me a new outlook on her… she was so well-spoken and I really got to see exactly how the cut really is kinda working for her. I was never a huge “fan” of Solange, but I think she does have a lot of positive qualities.

Even though I LOVE, love, LOVE Beyonce to death… Solange has always been my favorite Knowles when it comes to personality and being brave against the industry. I admire her will to be true to herself, no matter what the public thinks.

Loves the hair and the shots….love the sweater dress with the boots and the pose….these shots are great and very artistic…kudos to the photographer!!

She is looking more like Beyonce each and every day. Those are Bey’s eyes/eyebrows in the last picture..cover her head, nose and mouth and you will see that.
Anyway..
I love Solange! She’s very fierce, different, and fabulous. She clearly loves her foot being raised..LOVE IT!

Rihanna Non-Fans Stay Bringing Her Up(even When not Using Her Name)…Its Official She Is The Most Hated On Chick…Why Couldn’t You Just Say Solange Looked Good, And Just Kept It On Her…
Yall Non-Fans Bore Me Now…Its The Same Everyday…Either Rihs Name Is Brought Up, Or She Is Referenced To…

SOLANGE HAS BEAUTIFUL SKIN. I LIKE HER PERSONALITY MORE THAN BEYONCE, BECAUSE BEYONCE TRIES TO PORTRAY THIS ROLE THAT SHE”S PERFECT. LET ME EXPLAIN, SHE TENDS TO ACT LIKE SHE DOES NOTHING WRONG, LIKE, WHEN SHE SAYS,” SHE DON’T CURSE “, THEN ALL OF SUDDEN HEAR A FEW CURSE WORDS ON HER ALBUM. THEN SHE PLAY ” ETTA JAMES”, IT DOESN’T MATTER IF ITS ACTING, IF A PERSON FEELS SO STRONGLY AGAINST SOMETHING, THEY WILL NOT ENGAGE IN THE ACTIVITY FOR NO AMOUNT OF MONEY. WHAT ABOUT WHEN SHE WAS ACTING LIKE SHE WROTE THE SONG ” IRREPLACABLE” AND THEY CAUGHT HER IN TOKOYO ON TAPE SAYING ” I WROTE THIS SONG FOR THE LADIES”, AND THEN COME TO FIND OUT NEYO WROTE THE SONG. WATCH HOW THE DIE HARD BEYONCE FANS COME IN TO DEFEND HER…………….. CONTINUING. THEN SHE TRIES TO CREATE THIS” SASHA” CHARACTER TO USE WHEN SHE ACTING COCKY AND DRESSING SLUTTISH, STOP THE EXCUSES, IT IS YOU, POINT BLANK PERIOD. I REMEMBER THAT TIME ON MTV, WHEN THE GROUP HAD JUST BROKEN UP WITH LATOYA AND LATAVIA, AND HER, KELLY AND THE OTHER MEMBERS WERE BEING INTERVIEWED, AND SHE SAID TO THE VJ, ” THEY COULDN’T SING ANYWAY”, AND THE VJ WAS LIKE ,” OKAY WE ARE NOT GOING TO CALL NAMES OR WHATEVER”……AND SASHA WASN’T EVEN OUT YET. I’M A FAN, BUT I’M NOT A KISS-ASS-SWEEP-UNDER-THE-RUG-FAN, WHICH MEANS A FAN WHO WON’T TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT SOMETHING, LIKE IF ONE OF HER SONGS WASN’T HOT, THE KISS-ASS-SWEEP-UNDER-THE-RUG FAN, WOULD LIE AND SAY IT WAS GREAT. I TELL YOU WHAT TOU NEED TO HEAR, NOT WAHT YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU. I’M WAITING TO SEE THE REAL BEYONCE, THE ONE WITH THE DARK BROWN FRIZZY HAIR LIKE FREDDY FROM A DIFFERENT WORLD, THE ONE WHO LOOKS LIKE SOLANGE MORE WITHOUT MAKEUP, THE ONE WITH THE NATURAL THICK ARCHED EYESBROWS, THE ONE WHO ACTS GHETTO FROM TIME TO TIME, UNTIL WOULD THE REAL BEYONCE STAND UP. SOLANGE I WISH YOU THE BEST, I LIKE THAT YOU KEEP IT TOO REAL, BUT DON’T KEEP IT TO REAL, DON’T WANT YOU TO GET IN TROUBLE, BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU CAN CURSE…LOL

Furious styles, is Solange bringing up some insecurites for you…what do you look like? I GUARANTEE not half as stylish as Solange OR Rihanna for that matter…
And FYI. .. Rihanna is not all that original do some research!!! She’s fly but not truly original, she looks just like every other young entertainer, she just does an excellent job at carrying it well…
HATER!!!! 95% WOMEN ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY about another woman especially when she’s got it together and they don’t
