As I wrote once before, Solange is very confident in her own talents and is adamant about making a name of her own. Solange shuns away from comparisons to her big sister Beyonce. Here is a little of what she said in an interview for “Parlour” magazine.

Parlour: How do you deal with the comparisons to Beyonce?

Solange: At first I didn’t want to make people uncomfortable in interviews, I didn’t want to come off rude or arrogant. Now, I just really don’t care.

Parlour: Closing words?

Solange: I want to do things on my own terms and only want to do media where people respect the art form and understand what being an artist is about, without talking about irrelevant things. Those are the outlets I want to be a part of, but right now I have to play the game. I still have challenges because some people feel you only have one shot. But I’m going to continue to make music, no one’s going to tell me this is my last shot.
