Solange toys with the idea of a tuba album: 'I can only imagine the eye rolls'

First an André 3000 flute album, and now a Solange Knowles tuba album?
The "Don't Touch My Hair" singer, 37, appeared on the March cover of Harper's Bazaar Magazine where she discussed the possibilities for a follow-up to her 2019 album "When I Get Home."
"I’ve started writing music for the tuba, and I am trying to talk myself into releasing it, but I can only imagine the eye rolls from people (waiting on an album)," she said.
Knowles explained her interest in the tuba, telling the outlet, "It sounds like what the gut feels like to me. There’s a way that it takes up space that you can’t deny, and it also just feels very Black to me."
Her friend and frequent collaborator Tyler, the Creator, added that whatever Knowles plans to do next, authenticity will be at the forefront.
“I think that’s why I liked her, because (her art) wasn’t based on chasing any zeitgeist," he told the magazine of their creative partnership. "She’s not an undercover cop. She’s just her, and she makes whatever she wants. I feel like 80 percent of artists with these opportunities to put something out don’t do that because they’re chasing numbers."
He added: "She is very important in the landscape, and I don’t think that people are gonna fully give her her due until some time from now, which is okay. Because her music is going to still, 20 years from now, be a thing."
The singer has had her hand dipped in many pots, from a glassware collaboration with Jason McDonald, composing a score for the New York City Ballet, a book on the queer Black woman architect Amaza Lee Meredith, and her continued efforts as a songwriter and supportive mother of son, Daniel "Julez" Smith Jr., in his New York Fashion Week debut.

"There’s not many people who are able to show up in different spaces with such integrity," Knowles' friend and fashion designer Grace Wales Bonner told the outlet.
Following André 3000's instrumental album "New Blue Sun" in November, Knowles' older sister Beyoncé debuting two new country songs during the Super Bowl and a soon-to-come album announcement, it's clear people are open to singers experimenting outside of their genre.
