Solange Knowles has signed with Geffen Records and plans to release her sophomore album next year.

“Her record is totally bananas,” Geffen Records chairman Ron Fair tells Billboard Magazine. “It’s not what people would expect from her. The music is more eclectic and international. She’s in her own lane.”

“It’s a touch of retro with beautiful R&B songs and influences of early Natalie Cole and Carole King, and she’s only 22,” he continued. “I’m crazy about the Pharrell Williams’ record that she recently finished, called ‘I Decided.’ We’re finishing the album now.”
