Solange Knowles recently confirmed her exit from Interscope Records. The singer has been rumored to be splitting from the record label since April this year, but it was denied at that time by her father Matthew Knowles.
Regarding her departure, Solange commented: "Although it's been a wonderful journey and experience at Interscope Records, after truly recognizing what's important to me as an artist, I decided it was time for me to continue my path on a more independent platform. I thank Ron Fair and Jimmy Iovine for believing in me as an artist and supporting my journey...and have nothing but respect for the Interscope family."
As for the future, Solange wrote: "I am excited about continuing to dive in, experiment and creating music and art with no boundaries, fears, or expectations. Gonna be fun folks. Thank you all so much for...all the supportive comments coming thru."
Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams was the only album released from Solange while on the Interscope label. The project peaked at #9 on the Billboard 200 when it was released in August 2008.
According to an interview with MTV News earlier this year, she is experimenting with an electronic, moody sound for her still untitled upcoming album.
