Release Date: 9th December 2016
Solange Knowles returns with her 3rd LP 3 years in the making and by far her greatest and most poignant album thus far. A Seat At The Table is an intense personal statement on the pains and joys of black womanhood. Interspersed with interludes in which her parents talk about their encounters with racism this is a piece of work that cuts deep and faces the issues head-on. The record is played out in a future-funk psychedelic-soul style with superbly skilled subtle production that works to enhance Solange's exquisite vocal performances and includes guest performances by the likes of Lil Wayne Sampha Tweet and Kelela. Solange has given us one of the greatest and most important records of the year and in doing so has once and for all stepped out of the shadow of her superstar sister Beyoncé and affirmed herself as a truly unique talent.
