A Seat at the Table by Solange
A Seat at the Table is an album by Solange, released in 2016. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Cranes in the Sky”, on 7 lists with a best position of #50.
A Seat at the Table, Solange's third studio album, arrived on September 30, 2016, through her own Saint Records imprint and Columbia. It was a long time coming: she started writing as far back as 2008 and recorded between 2013 and June 2016, putting out the True EP and launching Saint along the way.
The guest list is deep but never crowds her. Lil Wayne and Q-Tip drop in, so do The-Dream, BJ the Chicago Kid, Kelly Rowland and Tweet, and the musicians Sampha, Kelela and David Longstreth help shape the sound. That sound is the thing: hushed, slow-moving funk and neo-soul, all soft keys and airy harmonies, R&B built for close listening rather than the club. Critics adored it, it became her first number-one album on the Billboard 200, and "Cranes in the Sky" won the Grammy for Best R&B Performance, her first nomination and first win in one go.
