Michael Jackson couldn't read music either
Quit hating on the superior Knowles sister :birdman:
Prince couldn't read music, either.
Most pop musicians don't read music.
There's a difference between them and Solange.
You thought you made a good point.

She's a singer, she's not a composer of music.
It's a matter of factual accuracy.
Why does that bother you?
What makes you think that Solange cannot or has not composed music?? Does being a singer automatically mean you cannot compose??

I'm happy for her but I do have my doubts, if I'm being honest. Composing a score is a big undertaking, it kind of requires a skill set you'd need to spend your life developing.. just orchestration alone and learning how instruments work, how they mesh together, pitch ranges, and then composing original music.. talking years and years of work here. I think what is more likely is that an experienced composer is leading the project, and she is contributing ideas.

She hasn't.
If you can find a song that Solange has composed the music for, let me know and I'll check it out.

There are singers who compose music and there are singers who don't.
There are musicians who compose music and musicians who don't.

Michael Jackson composed music. Whitney Houston did not. They're both great.


Dolly Parton composes music. She wrote the music and lyrics for I Will Always Love You, which Whitney covered.

George Benson is one of the premier jazz guitarists. He usually does not compose his songs.
His breakthrough hit, Breezin', was composed by Bobby Womack


Composing music is specific skill set. It is separate from writing lyrics, singing, playing, or producing.



Hopefully, that explanation brings some understanding.
