Solange’s New ELLE Cover Is Flawless [PHOTO]
Solange graces the cover for the new issue of ELLE with a stylish, gorgeous photo, shot by renowned photographer, Terry Tsiolis.
Always fashion-forward, Solange, who dons red for the cover, discusses her critically-acclaimed album, A Seat At The Table, and general perspective on life in the magazine's new issue.
"My sister and Kelly [Rowland] were the same age, which is like a built-in best friend in the house; they were extremely close," Solange said of her childhood in the interview. "Writing felt like this insular thing that I could go back in my room and express all that I would observe, all the emotions that would arise. It felt like mine, my little thing."
She spoke specifically about her head space while she was creating A Seat At The Table.
"I did want to create this juxtaposition, politically, of having these very hard, messy conversations but having them stylistically in a way that you can really hear me, and not the yelling, the rage," the singer said. "I wanted to project in my delivery what I was not achieving at all: peace and having a certain lightness and airiness that could maybe help me get closer to having more light and airiness in my life."
