Description
Solange Knowles' journey to international success was far from straightforward. As the sister of Beyoncé, she faced pressure to conform to an industry's rigid image of a Black woman. Yet, through her music and art, Solange has become a pivotal voice in her own right. Stephanie Phillips chronicles Solange's creative journey, tracing her progress through an inflexible industry. From her early days as a musician to the release of her third album, A Seat at the Table, Phillips describes how Solange has embraced activism, anger, Black womanhood and intergenerational trauma to inform her remarkable art. A significant and sober treatise on popular music, Why Solange Matters is a vibrant exploration of creativity and identity.
