Solange Knowles shows off her svelte body in various swimsuits for the June issue of Complex magazine. Check out some highlights from the interview below.
On breaking from her label, Interscope-Geffen-A&M: “I wanted to make all of the creative artistic decisions but I wasn’t the one paying for it. And they didn’t fully trust me to make them,” she says. “Every decision was a battle. It was exhausting. I wanted to be in a position where not only was the music fully my body of work, but everything thereafter was also my body of work. I knew that meant I had to leave and that I had to struggle.”
On working with songwriter/producer Dev Hynes: “I was trying to find that chemistry with different producers, and when Dev came it was like, ‘Oh! This is it.’‘Don’t Let Me Down’ is one of the most personal songs on the record. I’m saying, ‘This is amazing, I’m enjoying it but I’m a little scared that something fucked up is gonna happen.’ I’ve been in a relationship for four-and-a-half years now, but you still have those moments. In any relationship there’s gonna be conflict. Before Dev came along, I wrote all these happy, settled love songs, which was very difficult. It’s weird how, as writers, we draw more from conflict than peace. When Dev came onto the project, he was going through a breakup and it sparked something in me. Which is something I have to explore. I’m like, ‘Why is it so easy to draw from that?’”
On her life in Brooklyn, which revolves around her 8-year-old son, Juelz: “When I’m home, I’m just straight mommin’ it. School runs, play dates, soccer games, etc. You have to constantly fight for that balance and now I kinda got it under control. I go to crazy bounce clubs,” she says. “I eat crazy po’ boys, drink daiquiris. I ride my bike a lot.”

Check out Solange Knowles recent interview with NYmag sister site vulture.com – Here are some excerpts below:
On her upcoming album: “I made my entire record on my own from top to bottom,” she says. “Everything from studio-equipment rentals to actually creating a studio.”
On meeting her video director beau of four years, Alan Ferguson: “We had a lot of mutual friends who were all putting little buggies in each other’s ear.”
On feeling trapped after her record company Interscope tried to block her unlicensed cover of a Dirty Projectors song: “I wasn’t actually selling it. I was just putting it out,” she says. “Lil Wayne was on the same [parent] label, rapping over every single person’s songs on all of his mixtapes, and no one ever complained because I’m sure he just put it out and said ‘Fuck you.’ I was saying ‘Fuck you’ so much that they were like, ‘Well, you don’t have to be here.’”
On babysitting her niece Baby Blue: “Blue comes over, I babysit. [Beyoncé] takes Julez sometimes for the weekend. [Blue] and Julez are going to grow up more like sister and brother than cousins.” Julez is “showing signs of wanting to be an artist” and seems to have learned something from his uncle—he writes raps. “He loves it. It’s so scary,” says Knowles.
