Solange Gets Dropped



The youngest Knowles sister is been dropped from Geffen/Interscope Records according to AOL Black Voices .

The website reports that after the lackluster sales of Solange's sophomore album, Sol-Angel And The Hadley Street Dreams which only moved around 138,000 units since it's release last summer; the label "didn't see the value in doing a new CD on her".

A source also told the website, "Geffen did a one-off deal with Music World Entertainment for Solange and wasn't interested in doing a new contract with her.There were challenges dealing with her camp, but Solange was great to work with. In the end, the CD didn't sell despite Solange's countless high profile appearances,"


Either way with the economy, people aren't buying music like they use too. So it only makes sense that artist who aren't selling are dropped from labels. However, Solange's album as definitely one of the best of last year and was highly slept on.

We'll continue to follow the story and see what becomes of it.
