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.
We Deal with the Freak'n
Solange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now we deal with the freak'n
But that's in volume two!
First, I'm tryna get the woman to understand the dynamic power and the spiritual energy
Do you realize how magnificent you are?
The god that created you is a divine architect
That created the moon, the sun, the stars, Jupiter, Mars, Pluto, Venus
We are not only sexual beings
The song "We Deal with the Freak'n" by Solange is a powerful message about the importance of understanding one's own power, energy, and potential. Its lyrics convey a deep appreciation for the divine nature of human beings and the need to recognize it in order to fully tap into our spiritual consciousness. The first lines, "It's not about the physical manifestation of sex / Now we deal with the freak'n," suggest that the song is not about sexual gratification but instead about something much deeper and more meaningful.
The next lines, "But that's in volume two! / First, I'm tryna get the woman to understand the dynamic power and the spiritual energy," sets the stage for the rest of the song, which explores the idea that the physical aspect of sex is not the most important part of our being. Rather, it is our spiritual energy that holds the true power and potential. Solange goes on to describe the divine architect who created us and the universe, highlighting our god-like qualities.
The questioning of the listener, "Do you realize how magnificent you are?" is a call to action, inviting us to recognize and embrace our inner potential. This message is emphasized further in the last line, "We are not only sexual beings / We are the walking embodiment of god consciousness," which underscores our divine nature and power.
Overall, "We Deal with the Freak'n" is a powerful ode to the spiritual aspect of our being and a call to embrace it fully in order to realize our true potential and power.
