Prior to its release, Solange teased the new record by taking over the website BlackPlanet. In a 2018 T Magazine profile, Solange stated that the album—which was tentatively due for a fall 2018 release—was recorded in locations including New Orleans, Jamaica, and California’s Topanga Canyon. “There is a lot of jazz at the core,” she said of the album. “But with electronic and hip-hop drum and bass because I want it to bang and make your trunk rattle.”
Last year, Solange was named the Harvard Foundation Artist of the Year. In April 2018, she unveiled a performance art piece called Metatronia, which followed her outdoor performance at Donald Judd’s Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas. The latter project prompted a change of perspective for the new LP, she told The Times: “I realize how much wider, figuratively and literally, my work could be if I took myself away as subject.”
A Seat at the Table was Pitchfork’s No. 1 album of 2016.” Read “Everything Solange Has Done Since A Seat at the Table” on the Pitch.
