Solange's 'Cranes in the Sky' Takes Flight at 59th Grammy Awards

In a stunning upset that left many industry insiders reeling, Solange Knowles took home two major honors during Sunday night's 59th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony. The younger sister of Beyoncé proved once again why her music has been generating so much buzz lately.

Solanges third studio album A Seat at the Table, which served as the foundation for both wins, earned widespread critical acclaim upon its release last fall. With standout tracks like 'Formation' and now 'Cranes in the Sky,' it's easy to understand why fans and critics alike have fallen head over heels in love with this latest offering from Solange.

In addition to claiming Best R&B Album honors for A Seat at the Table, Solange also took home top billing in both the Record of the Year and Song of the Year categories - making her second consecutive win in all three categories since she last won them back-to-back 13 years ago during the 45th Annual Grammy Awards held on February 24th , where she earned Best R&B Female, Best Rap/Sung Performance for 'Crazy In Love' featuring Jay-Z and Best Music Video For "Down Low / Late Night Fantasy"(with The Midnight Band And CeeLo Green)

The wins solidify Solange as one of the most successful female artists in Grammy history. With a total of 30 nominations under her belt, she now ranks fifth all-time behind only Beyonce who has earned an impressive 62 nods throughout her career.

Solanges victory caps off what many would consider to be arguably the best year professional wise for any artist since Whitney Houston took home four awards at The 33rd Annual Grammy Awards in February 1990.
