In 2007, Knowles began to record music again. Her second studio album Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams (2008) deviated from the pop-oriented music of her debut to Motown-inspired sounds from the 60's and 70's. It peaked at number nine on the US Billboard 200 and received positive reviews from critics. She followed this up with the 1980s pop and R&B-inspired EP True (2012) on Terrible Records and her imprint Saint Records. Her third studio album, A Seat at the Table (2016) was released to widespread critical acclaim and became her first number-one album in the United States. The album's lead single, "Cranes in the Sky" won the Grammy for Best R&B Performance. Her fourth studio album, When I Get Home, was released in March 2019 to further critical acclaim.
Knowles was heavily influenced by Motown girl groups and says that her first passion is songwriting. Frequently compared by the media to her sister Beyoncé, Knowles has claimed that they have different aspirations and are musically different. She has been ranked by Billboard as the 100th most successful dance artist of all-time, and in 2017 was honored with the "Impact Award" at Billboard Women in Music. Her other ventures include an endorsement deal with Rimmel London and a line of hip-hop-oriented merchandise for young children.
Feelin' You
Solange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I've been lookin' for
Don't know where to begin
We've been talkin', not enough
But when we do talk the things that he says
I do love when I see him and we talk
There is this vibe between us, I don't wanna stop
Hey, uh, let's try something
Let's try to be together
Maybe wrong choice of words
I just want time together
Who knows, maybe we will
We'll really like each other
Give me a chance
Maybe I'll change your mind forever
I think you need someone
Like me to help you to
Clear your mind way off stress
And that's what I will do
With my laughter
Smile, crazy thoughts
Who'd never knew
That I'd end up really feelin' you
He told me I was beautiful
But what if he tells that to every girl he talks to
'Cause I'm not the only
But actually wish that I could be
He's what I've been lookin' for
Like no other guy that I know
Because he is so right
I swear I think about him from morning 'til night
Hey, uh, let's try something
Let's try to be together
Maybe wrong choice of words
I just want time together
Who knows, maybe we will
We'll really like each other
Give me a chance
Maybe I'll change your mind forever
I think you need someone
Like me to help you to
Clear your mind way off stress
And that's what I will do
With my laughter
Smile, crazy thoughts
Who'd never knew
That I'd end up really feelin' you
He's got this hypnotizing smile
That makes me stop and realize he's good looking
But that is not what attracted me, tacted me
So fabulously matched me to him
It was his style and persona
How he does what he does
His whole walk
How he talks is true
So maybe we should and we could
Put all things aside
Spend some time
'Cause I'm feelin' you
Hey, uh, let's try something
Let's try to be together
Maybe wrong choice of words
I just want time together
Who knows, maybe we will
We'll really like each other
Give me a chance
Maybe I'll change your mind forever
I think you need someone
Like me to help you to
Clear your mind way off stress
And that's what I will do
With my laughter
Smile, crazy thoughts
Who'd never knew
That I'd end up really feelin' you
There is this guy that I'm diggin'
(That I'd end up really feelin' you)
There is this guy that I'm diggin'
(That I'd end up really feelin' you)
In Solange’s song “Feelin’ You,” the lyrics describe the singer’s feelings towards a guy that she’s been talking to. She confesses that the guy has something that she’s been looking for, and that she’s unsure of where to begin. Despite not talking as often as she would like to, they have a great vibe when they do talk, and she wishes that they could spend more time together. She recognizes that she might not be the only girl that he tells is beautiful, but she wishes she could be the only one. The guy’s looks are not the only thing that attracts her to him; she is drawn to his personality, how he carries himself, and how he talks. The singer eventually suggests that they should put all things aside and spend some time together, as she is “feelin’” him.
The lyrics in this song show the early stages of a budding romance where the singer is excited about the possibility of a relationship with the guy she’s talking to. Throughout the song, she’s honest about her feelings and is not afraid to put herself out there by suggesting that they should spend more time together. The song’s upbeat tempo and Solange’s smooth vocals contribute to the warm and fuzzy feeling that comes with the excitement of a new relationship.

There is this guy that I'm diggin'
I am interested in a particular guy
What I've been lookin' for
He is everything I've been searching for
Don't know where to begin
I don't know how to approach the situation
We've been talkin', not enough
We have been communicating, but not as much as I would like
But when we do talk the things that he says
The things he says are meaningful when we do talk
I do love when I see him and we talk
I enjoy talking with and seeing him
There is this vibe between us, I don't wanna stop
There is a connection between us that I want to continue
So original and so deep, this guy is just like me
He is unique and has depth, and we have similarities
Hey, uh, let's try something
Let's attempt something together
Let's try to be together
Let's explore the possibility of a relationship
Maybe wrong choice of words
I may not have expressed myself clearly

Who'd never knew
It's amazing how things have turned out
That I'd end up really feelin' you
I am surprised that I have developed feelings for you
He told me I was beautiful
He complimented my physical appearance
But what if he tells that to every girl he talks to
I wonder if he gives the same compliment to other girls
'Cause I'm not the only
I'm aware that I'm not the only girl he's interested in
But actually wish that I could be
I desire to be the only one he's interested in
He's what I've been lookin' for
He's the one I've been searching for
Like no other guy that I know
He's unlike any other guy I've met
Because he is so right
He is perfect for me
I swear I think about him from morning 'til night
He's always on my mind
He's got this hypnotizing smile
His smile is captivating
That makes me stop and realize he's good looking
His appearance is pleasing to me
But that is not what attracted me, tacted me
His personality is what caught my attention
So fabulously matched me to him
We are a perfect match
It was his style and persona
His sense of self and mannerisms
How he does what he does
His actions and behavior
His whole walk
His complete demeanor and confidence
How he talks is true
His words are authentic and genuine
So maybe we should and we could
Perhaps we should consider
Put all things aside
Ignore any potential obstacles
Spend some time
Investing time in getting to know each other
'Cause I'm feelin' you
Because I have strong feelings for you

THIS is how Solange started. It amazes me how much of a more visual artist she has become. This song is still a bop. She is and continues to be an ICON!!
