Solange debuted in the early 2000s with pop-oriented contemporary R&B material and has since grown into one of the millennium’s more adventurous, expectation-defying artists. The singer, songwriter, and producer steadily emerged from the background of Destiny’s Child, her sister Beyoncé’s group, and broke through commercially and critically as a solo artist with the colourful retro-soul flavourings of Sol-Angel & the Hadley St. Dreams (2008). Since then, she has released A Seat at the Table (2016) and When I Get Home (2019), simultaneously potent and tender works reflecting upon the effects of systemic racism and the comfort of romantic bliss, among other subjects.
