A Seat at the Table

by Solange

A Seat at the Table cover art

Synthesizing funk, neo-soul, and contemporary R&B, 'A Seat at the Table' is a sonic exploration of identity, empowerment, independence, grief, and healing. Developed over several years with collaborators like Raphael Saadiq, the album's minimalist soundscape is interwoven with spoken-word interludes from Master P and Solange's parents that directly address its core themes of Black experience and self-preservation. A significant critical and commercial achievement, the project became Solange's first number-one album on the Billboard 200 and earned a Grammy Award for the lead single, 'Cranes in the Sky'.
