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 BeyoncΓ©, 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.
Not Screwed!
Solange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics "Is not screwed! Stars in space, and if those stars is lining up" suggest that even in moments of uncertainty and chaos, there is still hope and positivity to be found. Solange emphasizes that the alignment of stars in space is symbolic of the potential for things to fall into place, and that there is always a chance for things to work out in the end. It touches upon the idea that life is cyclical and things may seem bleak at times, but there is always the possibility of a positive outcome.
The line "Is not screwed!" appears throughout the song as a reassuring mantra, almost as though Solange is reminding herself and the listener that it's important to remain optimistic, even when things seem hopeless. The song manages to address feelings of despair and uncertainty without becoming overly pessimistic, effectively uplifting the listener with its message of hope.

I like this album, I really do. It is kind of confusing as some songs sound the same , but it is beyond gorgeous. I like that she incorporated H-town chopped and screwed . The jazz influence , the all star line up of Dev, Ty the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt and 'nem'. Not an award winner, but it deserves the praises
@assattam7840
