Beyoncé Knowles continues to accumulate sold out after sold out on her Renaissance tour, a 'tour' with a total of 56 shows throughout North America and Europe that began on May 10 in Stockholm. The tour is being a resounding success and the Texan singer is breaking several box office records. In the midst of this successful tour, the European cultural streaming platform ARTE.tv has recently released a documentary about the pop diva and Solange Knowles, her younger sister. Said feature film focuses on the talent of these musical artists, as well as the deep bond they maintain, despite the fact that Solange has always been under the shadow of her older sister.
At 41, Beyoncé is one of the most relevant artists of the last two decades. After her success with her band, Destiny's Child, formed in the late 1990s with her great friends, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland, the artist began her solo career in 2003 with her debut album, Dangerously in love. . Since then her numbers have not stopped growing. The Texan has received a record 88 Grammy nominations during her career, becoming this 2023 the most awarded artist in history at these awards, with 34 recognitions.
What many people don't know is that the world star comes from a family closely linked to the world of music. In fact, her younger sister is also one of the foremost artists of our time, even though she has always lived in the shadow of her successful sister. Solange, 37, is a dedicated soul artist and has worked hard to carve out a niche for herself in the industry. It was in 2016 when she released her first album, A seat at the table. During these years, Solange has vindicated her great talent, and in her work she fuses various styles, such as funk, jazz and R
The relationship between the two sisters has always been exemplary, and in fact, we have been able to witness how both have supported each other in the best and worst moments. Beyoncé fans probably won't forget Solange's tense elevator encounter with 'Queen B's' husband Jay-Z in 2014. The superstar's sister got into a feud with her brother-in-law amid rumors of infidelity on the part of the rapper, something that the couple would later confirm on their albums Lemonade and 4:44.
In addition, both have publicly supported their respective musical careers. Solange has always been proud of the worldwide phenomenon that her sister has become. In fact, a few weeks ago she attended a concert of the 'Bey' tour and showed how happy she felt about her success. "That's my sister. Always in awe!" Solange said in a post shared on Instagram, in which Beyoncé was seen performing her song Before I Let Go.
Precisely, 'Queen B' has also shown her confidence in her sister's talent on several occasions. The diva is characterized by her maximum discretion and her publications on her social networks are scarce, a rule that she breaks every time her little sister publishes new music, since she herself promotes it on the profiles her. In addition, we could also see Solange in Beyoncé's performance at Coachella in 2018, at which time the Crazy in love artist established herself as the first African-American woman to headline the prestigious American music festival. The Stay Flo interpreter accompanied her in the Get Me Bodied choreography, also demonstrating her incredible talent in dancing.
The two became the first sisters to have number one albums on the Billboard 200 chart, being equaled only by two other pairs of brothers: Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson and rappers Master P and his brother Silkk the Shocker. That is why ARTE.tv has dedicated a documentary to the figure of both artists and their relationship. "Beyoncé is one of the biggest stars. She is the queen of pop. That Solange, her sister five years younger, also makes music, is ignored for too long. Solange was the girl that should have been seen, but nobody listened. Beyoncé had all the support and Solange was ignored", explains the documentary in its first minutes.
"Solange's course was neo soul and Beyoncé aspired to number one pop songs. But she knew what she was capable of, and she has shown it to everyone," the documentary reads. This feature film follows in the footsteps of both, from Houston, the city that has seen them grow, and provides some images from their childhood, videos at the dance school where they began to stand out for their passion for music, and testimonials from friends of the artists. . Undoubtedly, a must for all those fans of the Knowles 'clan', who are curious to know more about both, especially Solange, who has lived in the shadow of one of the greatest artists in music history.
