Solange Knowles’
newest album, A Seat At The Table, is her most commercially successful
yet — it hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts last month. It’s also her
most political. On the record, Solange explores what it means to be
black in America today. The songs in this album celebrate black culture,
confront prejudice and explore the trauma of witnessing black people
killed.
This is Solange’s most personal work yet, too. The album
includes interviews she conducted with her parents, and she wrote most
of the lyrics in the town of New Iberia, La., where her family has
roots. “I wanted to reclaim that space,” she says. “I wanted to be able
to go back as a descendant of my grandparents and stake my claim and
create work that honored them.”
