They were so heavy and such an eyesore, and not what I identified with peace and refuge,” Solange explains in the interview. “I remember looking up and seeing all of these cranes in the sky. However, at the same time, condos were being built left and right because of a real estate boom.
The singer says she was working on music in Miami and felt the city was something of a “refuge” for “peace” for her. As it turns out, “Cranes” was written eight years ago when Solange was fresh out of her relationship with her child’s father and battling feelings most women in their 20s face: self-doubt, self-pity, and a sense of emptiness. The conversation also shifted to Table standout track, “ Cranes In The Sky,” with Beyonce asking Solange to explain the song’s meaning. “And I think that he is such a powerful example of that.” “You and I were raised being told not to take the first thing that came our way, to build our own platforms, our own spaces, if they weren’t available to us.,” told Beyonce about the similarities between Master P and her father, Mathew Knowles. On the latter, Solange says she added Master P to A Seat At The Table because of how much the No Limit captain exhibited the same entrepreneurial spirit her father instilled in her. The Lemonade singer did a better-than-expected job in the sit-down chat with her little sister, touching on topics ranging from growing up in the culturally rich neighborhood of Parkwood to being influenced by Missy Elliott to finding similarities between her father and Master P.
The ever-so-ethereal Solange Knowles covers the publication’s newest issue, and, even better, is interviewed by big sister Beyonce.
