Solange Knowles Covers The Latest Issue Of America's FADER Mag.

In FADER #84, Solange (who's touring North America with her TRUE disc) covers the magazine's Spring Issue and discusses the change in direction her music has taken since she first hit the scene as a solo artist.  She told the mag,  

"[Sol-Angel] was put out almost five years ago.  [In] four years, there's been so much artistic growth, so much growth just as a woman in [my] 20s, but especially as an artist. You're exposed to so much more from age 21 to 26, and you sure as hell care a lot less. It's been a little weird, for me, getting feedback—the last album was so different than this one. I am like, Yeah, I was 20 when I started writing it. Is that supposed to be shocking? If it sounded similar, that would be really strange."

The article goes on to draw parallels between Solange and Janet Jackson as both ladies were pressured to distinguish and define themselves outside of their older siblings' shadows.   The real question you are left with is if True will put the world on notice in same vein that Control did for Janet.
