A Seat at the Table is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Solange. It was released on September 30, 2016, by Saint Records and Columbia Records. While recording the album, Solange released an EP, titled True (2012) and launched her own record label named Saint Records. Writing for the album began as early as 2008, while the recording sessions took place from 2013 to June 2016. So…
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.
