Solange Knowles the “Annoying Little Sister” Speed Dialed Cee-Lo for Six Months

Solange Knowles’ album SoL-AngeL and The Hadley St. Dreams will be in stores this August. While you’d think she would have her choice of superstar producers and writers to choose from, she tells another story. “People think that my family association helps me, but in a lot of senses it hinders me,” Solange said. “When reaching out to these producers, they don’t know if I’m a real musician or if I’m just someone’s annoying little sister.”

She continues with a quick story about how Cee-Lo ducked and dodged her for six months. “I’m busy.. Wow. Look at this schedule!.. Did you say next Thursday?” It took a call from (Carmelo’s) Lala and uploading a couple of finished tracks to her cell to save the day.
