Today, we celebrate a member of one of music’s most talented families.
The Carter-Knowles clan is known to pump out hits, and you can’t forget Solange in that list, too. The 36-year-old has carved out her own lane with albums like her debut, Solo Star, in 2002, and the follow-up, Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams.
Although she had always demonstrated a recognizable talent and voice, mainstream music didn’t show her the proper respect until her 2016 hit, A Seat At The Table. The album reached number one on the Billboard 200 album, and the neo-soul/funk tracks became a soundtrack for empowerment, struggle, and rising above it all.
“I think that honestly, while writing the record, I was writing for myself, to be honest. I was writing for my family and my friends. I was wanting to be the voice of my group text chat. I was wanting to be the voice of my grandparents,” Solange told NPR. “I was wanting to be the voice of my son, my niece. So I think that’s really the audience that I was writing from the perspective of.”
She’d follow it up with 2019’s When I Get Home.
On top of the breathtaking music, Solange has always been one of the most gorgeous women in R&B. So, in honor of Solange’s 39th birthday, check out some of her best Instagram moments below.
