Why Solange Matters
Solange Knowles - Book - by Stephanie Phillips
(2021)
Growing
up in the shadow of her superstar sister, Beyonce, and defying an
industry that attempted to bend her to its rigid image of a Black woman,
Solange Knowles has become a pivotal musician and artist in her own
right. In Why Solange Matters, Stephanie Phillips chronicles the
creative journey of Solange, a beloved voice of the Black Lives Matter
generation.
A
Black feminist punk musician herself, Phillips addresses not only the
unpredictable trajectory of Solange's career but also how she and other
Black women see themselves through the musician's repertoire. First, she
traces Solange's progress through an inflexible industry, charting the
artist's development up to 2016, when the release of her third album, A
Seat at the Table, redefined her career. With this record and, then,
When I Get Home (2019), Phillips describes how Solange has embraced
activism, anger, Black womanhood and intergenerational trauma to inform
her remarkable art.
Why
Solange Matters not only cements the subject in the pantheon of
world-changing twenty-first-century musicians, it introduces its writer
as an important new voice.
