A Seat at the Table

by

Solange

A Seat at the Table has got all the of the replay value. It's a solid no-skips album, and still timely eight years after its release. It's quotable and is somehow among the most relatable albums I've listened to. Also, this may seem trivial, but it's a rare album that integrates the interludes perfectly with the music. They're not skits. They're just observations and raw, honest thoughts that flow easily into the lyrics, surpassing even The Mis-education of Lauryn Hill in their ability to completely disappear into each song. A Seat at the Table is a bit less experimental than Solange's subsequent When I Get Home, but it's got staying power for sure.
