On occasion, I find myself revisiting Solange’s 2008 Sol Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams. It was an enjoyable project, still vastly underrated and one that showcased the younger Knowles sister as an artist of her own; one who was capable of making high quality music completely separate of her megastar sister. It’s crazy to think it’s already been damn near four years since that dropped however. Well, for those who have been waiting for new music from the newly minted Aunt Solange, the wait is nearly over.

Her new project is still untitled, yet she did provide insight into the album to V Magazine for their V75 music issue. And the direction of her music may surprise you.

“[It’s] more of a modern twist on hip-hop and R&B flecked with tinges of blues and jazz,” she said. “But there’s a lot of songs about sex.”

Solange characterizes the LP as one that fits all settings, both bedroom related and not and one that’s suitable for quality time with your significant other or preparing for a night out on the town with friends. She also reveals the album was funded completely by her and features production from the likes of Pharrell Williams, Devonté “Dev” Hynes. Aside from the sexual content of some of the records, one of the more startling quotes resulted when Solange explained why the earlier songs she recorded were dark and cryptic.

“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.”

At this moment, an exact release date is not known.
