#iTunesSounds: “A Seat at the Table” – Solange Knowles – Oct. 11, 2016

Before “A Seat at the Table,” Solange Knowles is probably best known for the incident in the elevator with her sister, Beyonce and B’s husband Jay-Z. On this album, Solange enlisted the help of some of the game’s most popular names for this output including Lil Wayne, The-Dream and BJ the Chicago Kid amongst others. As of today, Knowles will also be known for having a No. 1 album as “A Seat at the Table” has risen to the top of the Billboard charts.

The Breakdown

I like how Solange has an interlude with someone telling a story of their struggle after almost every track. That said, I made a second playlist without those to appreciate the music transitions. I’d recommend having that as well. As far as the music goes, she brought the heat with her production and delivered with the content as well.

Note: Thanks to both Shereka Wright and Jordan Davis who posted / sent messages about the album as I forgot to get it when it dropped.
