Solange Gets Dropped from Record Label
Posted by Bossip Staff
Sad day for the Knowles family, Solange was dropped from Interscope/Geffen Records. There were a couple of rumors going around about this back in April but of course the Knowles camp shut that down quick. We’re pretty sure it’s hard for them to have a success story and an EPIC FAIL in the same household.
BV Buzz can officially report that Solange Knowles is no longer signed to Interscope/Geffen Records.
BV Buzz’s previous story, back in April, caused a firestorm of backlash from both Solange and her father/manager, Mathew Knowles.
At the time, Knowles sent over this unedited statement: “Our joint venture with Music World and Interscope/Geffen/A&M is very much in placed for Solange. It’s very disappointing in recent days the amount of false statements in the marketplace from Solange being drop to me accused of being Kelly Rowland’s father.”
Additionally, Solange took to Twitter to blast this columnist by writing: “Ren and Stimpy “you stooppid idioots part 19″ lol. Today, April 7, 09 I am still on Music World/Geffen/ Interscope records…”
Denials aside, BV Buzz has learned that the label parted ways with Solange around May.
“They just waited for the buzz to die down and quietly ended their relationship with her,” a source close to the label told us.
Though Solange has been currently recording new music for her third solo CD, that music is being recorded independently as she has yet to ink a new deal with another label.
BV Buzz reached out to Music World Entertainment for a new comment on this story – though since they lied once, I’m sure they’ll lie again.
Here’s what they had to say: “Solange felt it necessary to go with a smaller, independent label that focuses more on the alternative genre, one that reflects her music style and artistry. Solange is working on a new album and the label will be announced shortly. The relationship with Interscope is excellent and the current album, ‘Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams’ is still being worked through the Music World/ Interscope joint venture with consistent weekly sales.”
Getting drop is probably why Solange really cut her hair off. They say some women cut there hair when they are going through negative situations. Well, Solange… it looks like this was the reason for your rebirth.

10/31/09, 10:31:am
wow bossip ya’ll are stupid
She asked to leave the label, choosing to go independent because it provided more artistic freedom. Read her twitter..she announced it first before everyone else. Ya’ll just like egging on bad ish.

Well she did tweet last night or more like early this morning, that “she decided” to leave Interscope. I kinda felt like it was more like a Drop move. I think she will do good on an independent label instead of a label that was probably trying to change her image.

Solange needs to pursue another career separate from what Beyonce is doing. In music she will always be compared to her more successful more beautiful sister. She has the personality to pull off a successful reality or comedy show. She should pursue that or a college degree in business. But, she needs to get out of the niche her sister has conquered. She’ll always look like a knockoff Beyonce, just like Marlon looks like a knockoff Michael. Best wishes to her tho’.

Solange is fake as hell
10/31/09, 11:22:am
she’s a joke, so is matthew and beyy *****h!
She’s not talented at all. NEXT!
The Bear...YES I'm BACK
10/31/09, 11:24:am
Even though personally I don’t check for secular music I think Solange is extremely talented and she stays on the cutting edge so she should just go indie and keep a bigger piece of her pie.
tj
10/31/09, 11:28:am
She is so attention hungry. Like she clearly just lives in beyonce’s shadow. I would cut her some… some slack if she weren’t so egotistical. I can’t handle that.

Solange can not sing! I repeat! SOLANGE CAN NOT SING! thank god! she horrible. I purchased that album and bhrought it back to target and told them the cd would not play. Her nasal like voice and squeaks is nothing artistic, it’s actually talentless! The girl got a ego like a multi platnium selling artist, but she went wood on her last album. She rides on her sister’s coat tail, and that’s what keeps her in the game. If you want real ol skool rock and R&b the british do it better. Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Duffy! they are great quality artist in the same genre. These ladies can acyually sing. Solange can ride on her I am so unique and wear all the clothing that comes out of Elle Magazine all she wants to, but the chick is talentless. She chops off her hair and now more people care! I care about her finding her true calling! and it’s not music!

I would have thought the Knowles’ family would have had their own record label by now, so this wouldn’t be an option.

TRUST ME SOLANGE WAS RELEASED LONG TIME AGO, THE SAME TIME THEY DROPPED KELLY,AS THE ARTICLE states THEY JUST WAITED UNTIL THE FIRESTORM DIED DOWN TRANSLATED=MEANS FOR PIMP MATTY SHOUTING HIS CRACK HEAD OFF, THE SHAME AND EMBARR*****MENT, KNOWING NO ONE WANTS ANOTHER ONE OF HIS LAME PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET, IF ONE IS ALREADY FAILING WHY PUSH FOR ANOTHER, MONEY MUST BE TIGHT IN THE KNOWLES CAMP. I’M TELLING YOU MORE THINGS IS GOING TO COME OUT ABOUT THE KNOWLES, BEFORE PIMP MATTYS BABY MAMA SPILL THE BEANS, THE KNOWLES ARE BEING HELD TO RANSOM, PIMP MATTY WOULD RATHER REVEAL WHAT WE HAVE KNOWN ALL ALONG, THAN PAY FOR HIS MISTAKES, HE IS SLIMY LIKE THAT. I HOPE THIS WOMEN DOES TAKE HIM TO THE CLEANERS, PIMP MATTY IS ONE TO SHUT DOWN STORIES STRAIGHT AWAY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, HOW COME HE HASN’T SHUT THIS ONE DOWN, WHICH COULD BE DAMAGING TO HIS PRECIOUS(in my ghost voice)

Sad day my *****, Matthew made sure Kelly was dropped and blocked from signing to Interscope, the same label Solange was on. Now the same thing is happening to his daughter. This is only the beginning of the karma The Knowles is long overdue for.
Focused1
10/31/09, 12:44:pm
@mel Oh yeah I remember when it was announced Solange was dropped around the same time as Kelly. You are right, she was dropped a long time ago, Interscope probably agreed to announce her being dropped later to ease the blow of embar*****ment for her. I still think that’s unfair, as soon as Kelly left Matthew’s management all of a sudden there’s this big press release she was dropped from Music World and Columbia, but when Solange is dropped her label stays quiet for a little while. I tell ya, the Knowles are such snakes.

i didnt wanna like solo, i thought she was wack, then i heard the album, i was wrong, solo is the truth. most real artist dont make a big splash in the mainstream, she is quality not quantity, cant wait for album# 3!!!

That’s sad, her last album was actually really good. I liked it WAY better than that Sasha Fierce sh’t.

I liked Sol-Angel. That was a good CD in my opinion.

10/31/09, 13:09:pm
Did they really give Solange a chance? Damn she had one album in adult hood that did just as good as the rest of the flopping album.So why didn’t they give her another chance to improve. Now days you have to jump right in and go plat I guess. I was really feeling like her next album was going to be better than the last one. In my opinion it was a good album.

10/31/09, 13:39:pm
Solange is a great artist! She needs a better team and better promotion. I still listen to her last cd all the time. I cant wait to hear her new music!

Solange should have never been signed in the first place, its not like she can sing. I hate when the little sisters and brothers try to ride the coattail of their famous sibling,it almost never works.Solange should give up the singing thing and shoot for something else like acting.

I heard the last cd was good but I knew it was nicely produced but Solange couldn’t fake real talent. Solange never had the starpower and like Rayj she gets attention for being the only sibling of someone very famous.

How is that so? Beyonce’s lil sis. So what, Mathew can’t managed both of his daughters?
And Solange has the stankiest attitude ever too. Who would want to work with her?

Solange needs to be in her own lane and if they arent letting her do that then good for her! I bought her album and it was wonderful:) A lot of artist who choose to not do Pop music for the mainstream end up going independent… Beyonce makes music for the m*****es, and Solange makes music that she chooses to make… I love that about her and thats why she will continue to be successful regardless of what you decided to measure her against…
lala land
10/31/09, 22:25:pm
I like solange’s voice, she can really sing. But anyone with eyes cud see that she was gonna be dropped. If she had gone plat, there wud be no issue. But since she only sold like 60,000 units, there’s no way she wud be kept, no matter who’s sister she is.
then you ***** the fact that she cut off her white girl weave, and it was ALLL over!!
dat *****

honestly her haircut grosses me out. Im not even kidding. i just ate subway and think i wanna throw it up like a gang sign already.

10/31/09, 23:04:pm
Let this be clear.. her father does have a record label called Music World which both Beyonce & Solange are signed to. But, they still need a major label backing which is why Music World signed Solange to Interscope/Universal, but still under Music World. Like Beyonce is Music World/Columbia./Sony.

Please don’t believe anything that you read on bossip. Solange is a beautiful talented young women. Her haircut is hot, inovative, and different. She didn’t cut her hair because she wanted to steal attention away from beyonce. She cut her hair because it is okay to be the natural you. Beyonce is one of the greastest superstars of all time. And so is Solange if people gives her the respect she deserves.
