I really f—ed with Solange’s album. And the thing about Adele and Beyoncé that I like is that they are two women making music that isn’t demeaning to them: “We do what we do, and we’re not here selling some bullshit.” That makes me excited about the industry, still. Major props to Adele. There’s no flutes or whistles on [25]. It’s her voice and a f—ing piano.
