Reacting to Solange's 'Cranes in the Sky' | Our First Time Hearing Her Music

[@tmoneybaby444]

Beyonce- The over acheiving, perfectionist older sister Solange- the hippy dippy, free spirited, fiesty sister We stan them both ❤

[@haydenrubio8117]

perfect description haha and love them both sooo much

[@Tiarawatches]

They’re both so incredibly creative with different approaches to their art

[@CliffhangerUnlimited]

This entire album is a masterpiece. I wanna recommend don’t touch my hair next for solange

[@StellaLuna-q7m]

😍

[@killlamas57]

Solange turns her comments off on everything even her Instagram. Idk she’s not to be played with. She will cuss you out lol

[@chantoya17]

YEP lol she used to be more active on social media many years ago but I guess she got tired of trolls. Understandable.

[@angellopolys2494]

This song is fantastic. Solange is really into architecture, she makes sure she shows her love for shapes and forms in her visuals. She's got really good eyes and ears.

[@viviha34]

Solange Knowles is incredibly talented. She composed the original score for the New York City Ballet's Fall Fashion Gala in 2022.

[@djjordan614]

Solange is very artistic, creative

[@YoungMr.H.5304]

This is considered alternative r&b. She walks a line between this and neo soul. They both contain a measure of jazz influences.

[@saphire2214]

There's an effortless softness and elegance about Solange that I've always admired. It's reflected in her vocal tone, her fashion sense and simply how she carries herself.

[@tmoneybaby444]

If youve ever heard the Proud Family theme song then youve heard Solange before 😂

[@monalisamandindi2384]

I'm so happy you guys reacted to this. I love this song and this whole album so much. I have been a huge fan of Solange for many years and it makes me so happy that she is getting her flowers. Quite a few of Beyonce's songs are actually written or co-written by Solange as well. She is a very talented song-writer and producer and she is very creative as well and a fashion icon. I love that she is just herself and has forged her own path based on her own talent and creativity, she doesn't try to be her sister and I appreciate that. She recently composed the score for the New York City Ballet making her the first black woman in history to compose music for the NYC Ballet. A huge and well deserved achievement. Thank you guys for the wonderful reaction. I hope you do more of Solange's music in the future.

[@tonikar3455]

I’ve been sleeping on Solange.

[@eduardasouza4504]

quite a few??? i can think of only 2 or 3 songs co-written by solange for bey

[@totallytaranicole2819]

Why Don't You Love Me Upgrade U Scared of Lonely Get Me Bodied Flaws and All Bad Habit (DC song)

[@monalisamandindi2384]

@@eduardasouza4504 she has at least 5 song writing credits for Beyoncé songs and a few for Destiny's Child

[@2good2leaveunow]

Solange is Sololange. The only thing she has in common with Bey is that they are both creative. Solange has conducted orchestras, has a housewares line, does sculptures, etc. She is an artist. She also filled in for Kelly during the DC era and has some movie credits on her resume.

[@TheresaWilliams-sr1my]

Hello from South Africa. I would strongly encourage that ya'll listen to that entire album. It's really good, and her live performance in Australia at the Sydney Opera house.!@

[@evelynwashere13]

She definitely gives me neo soul. I love it, definitely music

[@markk4473]

I love solange - don’t touch my hair, t.o.n.y, binz (the live version performance is better to me than studio version)

[@BlakRTist]

We love Solange!!! Technically, this is not the first time you two are hearing her music. She wrote "Why Don't You Love Me?" from Beyonce's 4 album. She has also written for Destiny's Child and Kelly Rowland, another Destiny's Child band member. Also, Nathan enjoyed the live halftime performance of "YaYa" from Cowboy Carter. He would definitely enjoy Solange's second album, released in 2008, "Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams." A lot of live instrumentation and throwback to 60s and 70s funk and rock 'n' roll. In fact, in the first song on the album, "God Given Name," Solange addresses the comparisons to Beyonce.

[@monalisamandindi2384]

Why Don't You Love Me is from I Am Sasha Fierce not 4

[@WJones-jf8mf]

This album and song really was a moment for me. The Knowles sisters are so incredibly talented.

[@jobe1888]

This song is BEAUTIFUL! One of my faves.

[@intodaysepisode...]

I bought this vinyl immediately when it was released! You guys have to hear her "Cosmic Journey"! Its so caaaaalming!

[@coldsoul59]

This is her 3rd studio album. Solo star 2002, Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams 2008, True (ep) 2012, A Seat at the Table 2016, When I Get Home 2019. The 1st two albums were Solange finding her voice and sound.

[@edmond2098]

Losing You is such a feel. good song, she also performed it live at the Sydney Opera House. No phones in sight just dancing!

[@raymondsmith4966]

You guys reacted to Beyoncés song and video party and Solange was in that video. She was the dj dancing in the center outside

[@thegoddess7297]

Please explore more Solange. A Seat At The Table is a MASTERPIECE

[@giselleweekly]

Since Solange's second album she's always been in touch with her artsy side. Her first album was kinda typical "young artist contemporary R&B" but everything else including this has been really perplex art, like this. Really loved her most recent album. She is also an amazing song writer.

[@NiaNoelle]

I’m glad you guys took the time to explore this song and Solange. But I really wish you would do a deep dive into her and her career. She is actually very successful in what she does. A lot in the arts not only singing, she’s written songs for her sister and Destiny’s Child, but also visual arts as well. Solange is Amazing and I really hate that people constantly try to compare her to her sister because they are very different artist and very good at what they do individually.

[@thecrafticlesofyarnia]

Soft...jazzy...calming... Elevator music? ;-)

[@MissyClamJuice9251]

One of her albums "Sol-Angel & The Hadley St. Dreams"2008 she gives a lot of jazz, blues, r&b soul, pop. She also did a Boards Of Canada cover "Slow This Bird Down"

[@cherylgalloway4511]

I love that one!!! Edit....LOVE THE ALBUM

[@Lauren-px7fl]

She actually won her first Grammy with this song. The album A Seat at the Table is easily one of the best projects of its time. Solange is unapologetically herself. She’s always been artistic and creative, with a career spanning years-this album showcases some of her newer work. As, Beyonce fan we can always tell when Solange help write a Beyonce song like "Why Don't You Love Me" or help with the creativity/Artistic look in her music video.

[@thecrafticlesofyarnia]

You mentioned Raphael Saddiq -- he worked on the Renaissance and Cowboy Carter albums with Beyonce -- co-wrote Texas Hold 'Em.

[@theuniverse3271]

this was Solages 3rd solo album her first album Solo Star came out in December 26 2002 with the lead single feeling you!!! But her second album Sol Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams is the album (2008) that celitified Solange as an artist it was critically acclaimed and charted at #9 on the billboard 200.

[@HairDeLaCreme]

My fav solange song! This album is such a vibe.

[@tamarawilliams1197]

Solange is in a lane all her own 💋

[@damita_jo7139]

Yeah SOLO🎉🎉🎉

[@ejakaegypt]

She’s fantastic and I love this song too!! ❤

[@michelelawrence6992]

She purposely distances herself from Beyonce to avoid being referred to as Bey’s little sister. Yet they’re incredibly close. I love to see When they perform together they appear to have so much fun

[@coldsoul59]

Ohhhhh Solange im excited

[@Nana_Cancerian22]

One of my favs💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 shout out from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@XoxoRollend]

Her song from that album called Don’t touch my Hair is🔥🔥 the video is amazing

[@LatashaWooden]

My favorite song

[@thejasontimothyshow]

Please do more Solange especially her earlier work from 2008-2014

[@sharonsantana7583]

Ive always loved Solo!

[@aaronmitchell2873]

You guys have to react to Solange's "I Decided" music video. It's a classic!!!

[@NicoleBardot-nl7rt]

It’s like cranes in the sky 🎵🎶

[@Lady_Que]

My girl Solo! Yall bout to make me go listen to Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams 😂

[@Noturavg82]

I would love for you guys to react to HER, Jill Scoot and Erykah Badu

[@coldsoul59]

Solange has a very interesting musical journey. She's always wanted to shine on her own and has taken a harder path. Her father tried to put her in destinys child numerous times. Her solo debut she went against the norms of the time and was essentially commercially unsuccessful.

[@chantelneko3178]

Omg finallllyyyy

[@monique9583]

Beyonce and Solange actually have a song together. It’s kind of old, Solange was about 16. It’s called naïve. There’s no video for it but it’s really good.

[@OphepheVanessa]

Solange is very artistic and creative but her music is so hard for me to get into. It's a style I can't feel comfortable but her voice is heavenly

[@tamarawilliams1197]

You should also review Stillness Is The Move by Solange...it's a remake...you'll love it ❤

[@nerdlarge4691]

They tried to turn Solange into Beyonce 2.0 . Her father wanted her to join Destiny's Child when they had that shakeup in the lineup 2000 and later he wanted her to join the Disney girl group, Cheetah Girls, and Solange kept refusing to follow the plan for her career. She's a true independent spirit.

[@dabrat7306]

Solange and Beyonce are like day and night, just like my sister and I. I think Beyoncé is five years older than Solo and they're very protective of each other. I believe Solo has remarried.

[@moeholmes7232]

Solo is still single

[@modw1400]

Omg!!!!

[@chanelletucker2236]

Let’s be clear, Solange IS Solange without Beyonce. She always been talented on her own, but ppl can’t help to bring up her sis at every turn. They are musically nothing alike. The same happens to Kelly from DC. I loved that you noticed her unique sound after listening ❤ More Solange please!!!!!

[@Nitta43]

This song kinda reminds me of early Erykah Badu.

[@aaronmitchell2873]

Beyonce and Solange have a song together called "Naive." I think you guys would like that throwback song.

[@TrayLaw]

OH WE DOING THIS...😧

[@StellaLuna-q7m]

Thats my Cancer sister. ♥♋ Solange has an Illustrious career aswell. They are both such a part of me i love the Knowles Sisters.

[@Rosyid2040]

Losing You is also a good pop song by Solange Knowles

[@CliffhangerUnlimited]

Also this isn’t her first album.

[@elitemedstaffing7519]

I'm glad you fellas are going into Solange's music...you guys have to react to "Don't Touch My Hair" its from this same album...she did great in the awards for this album. To me, she is a little more artistic than Beyoncé.

[@murdockreviews]

Interesting!

[@markk4473]

The comments are probably turned off cos she’s tired of mentions of Beyoncé and living under her shadow. Few years ago she blocked me on Instagram cos I commented something innocently mentioning beyonce

[@Candy004]

Unfortunately people who are fans of Solange( Kelly too) seem to think going to her music and bashing Beyonce is something she would feel complimentary.🤯. It’s easier to turn off the comments. People can just focus on the music.

[@anthonycole7484]

please research all she has done and accomplish as a writer and artist

[@LatashaWooden]

Solange

[@PappaPurps79]

I love her style. She reminds me a bit of Eryka Badu in this song.
