When You're Younger, You Get

I Actually Produced Other People's Vocals For A Long Time When I First Signed My Publishing Deal And I Had Just Sort Of Decided That I Only Wanted To Be A Writer. I Would Be In All Of These Writing Sessions, And A Lot Of Times My Publisher Would Say, "you Should Get A Demo Singer To Sing It Because Then It Doesn't Identify As A Solange Song."

I Remember Being Really Young And Having This Voice Inside That Told Me To Trust My Gut. And My Gut Has Been Really, Really Strong In My Life. It's Pretty Vocal And It Leads Me.

You Get Educated By Traveling.

I Always Have Looked At "indie" As A Term Of "independence." Never Associated A Sonic Gesture With That In The Same Way That Pop Music Has Always Meant "popular" To Me It Didn't Define A Sound. And I Think Now That Has Been The Context For Things. If Something Is Indie, It Almost Has This Sonic Association With It, Or Pop Has Become This Term Of Shame Almost, Like, Bubblegum Sweet Pop.

I Love Music. But I'm Not Gonna Work Myself To Death. If There Ever Comes A Point Where I'm Not Enjoying It, Then I'm Not Gonna Do It Anymore. I've Promised Myself That. I've Written It Down On Paper And Signed A Contract.
