remixes: Solange – Fuck The Industry (Signed Sincerely)
Just before Solange‘s album was released 2 years ago, a track about her dissatisfaction which the music industry leaked online. And the title of the song? Fuck The Industry! In this song, she did quite a bit of name dropping. From her sis, Beyonce to Jennifer Lopez to Mary J and also Ashanti. Somehow i agree with the lyrics. And it’s how i see the industry anyways.
Solange wrote this on her blog then…
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.
