Solange – F*** The Industry Signed Sincerely
Solange – F*** The Industry Signed Sincerely
Concreteloop released a track sent to them by Solange that speaks on the hate on her diversity in the industry. Solange states:
“Unfortunately I’m in an industry where diversity is not celebrated the way it should be. When some people see and hear something different it feels foreign to them and they don’t like that. Everyone has a choice of what they like and that’s a beautiful thing! But record labels, managers, publicist, journalist, media etc… have a tendency to see something work and try to reciprocate that with another artist thinking that’s what makes success. To me what makes success is letting people be truly who they are.

I know execs have cookie cutter methods of trying to sell records and make artist conform to what other people are doing. So there will always be that battle between staying true to yourself and listening to the label, but some artist refuse to, “dumb it down.”
