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.

Do nothing without intention
In "Nothing Without Intention," Solange explores the importance of intention and purpose in our actions. The song begins with a count-in "six, seven, eight" which sets the stage for the upbeat, percussive track. Solange wastes no time in calling out people who talk without actions, particularly "ho ass niggas" who "be sayin' shit." She encourages listeners to focus on their purpose and work towards their goals, repeating the phrase "nothing without intention" as a mantra throughout the song.
The repetitive nature of the lyrics and the infectious beat of the song emphasize the message of intention and purpose. Solange's voice is soft and clear, evoking a sense of calm and clarity amidst the chaos of the world. The chorus, "work it, work it, oh" and "shake it," can be interpreted as a reminder to stay focused and committed to our goals, no matter what obstacles we face. Overall, "Nothing Without Intention" is a powerful reminder to live with purpose and intentionality, and not to let others distract us from our path.

@Saint Segar to do something and at least have a somewhat clear reason for doing it. that reason is likely gonna determine the result of your actions.

@Saint Segar it literally means what it means whatever you do do it with certainty and clarity
