rihanna, beyonce, and solange are the holy trinity of 2016?
late ’97 into early ’98.
3 pop divas,

butterfly (september ’97).
the velvet rope (october ’97).

it looks like the knowles vixens are woke.
so i love solange.
i have always admired her fearless attitude,
but i have always been a huge fan of her music.
star fox and i kilt “sol-angel and the hadley st. dreams”.
every time she releases an album,

i have all of her albums,

“a seat at the table”,
