Solange Knowles Gearing Up For New Album: “There’s A Lot of Songs About Sex.”

01/17/2012 • Solange Knowles is finally gearing up for the release of her new album. I am so excited because her 2008 release "Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams" was pretty dope!! She tells V Magazine for her upcoming project that it's “more of a modern twist on hip-hop and R&B flecked with tinges of blues and jazz ” but content wise, she says “there’s a lot of songs about sex.” Check out a few more details about her album below:

“It’s the kind of record you put on when your man is coming over, when you’re with your girls,” Solange tells V Magazine for their V75 music issue. “There are songs that make you wanna dance because we were kind of partying our way through the record, but it’s very chill.”

“My references for the record were all Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, not just their typical Janet [Jackson] and Prince stuff, but SOS Band and their b-sides with Chaka Khan,” Solange says about the inspiration for the new project. “At first the songs were really dark because I had a premonition before the record that I was going to die. I was having panic attacks and wiling out.”
