Solange to Focus on Music ‘Full-Time’ in 2025

After years of exploring a wide range of creative mediums—from visual art to performance, literature, and even ballet composition—Solange shared with Vogue France her intention to fully commit to music in the coming year. “Honestly, I never stop making music,” she said, “I’ve never stopped, and I’ll probably dedicate myself to it full-time next year.”

For the past five years, Solange said she has been creating work that she hopes “will inspire and occupy a space-time” beyond her own existence.

“I’m preparing myself spiritually, physically, artistically, and mentally for my future 60- or 70-year-old self,” she said. However, Solange’s creative journey has not been without its challenges.

“I’m incredibly grateful for everything I’ve accomplished, even if it meant being a little uncomfortable in the moment,” she admits. “I’ve founded a library, created objects, published books, made sculptures, composed ballet music, created a performance program. It’s been a very rich time, but I have to say that I picked up the drums again a few weeks ago, and I feel like music is a way of capturing the mind. It freezes it in time like no other art form.”

While Solange’s second album, Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams, could be considered a cult classic, her third and fourth albums, A Seat at the Table and When I Get Home, solidified her status as one of the most boundary-pushing artists of the past decade. With her plans of dedication to music full-time, fans can expect even more innovation and introspection in her future works.
