Sep 27, 2016 Sampha By Christopher Roberts

Solange Knowles has announced a new album, A Seat At the Table, that’s due out this Friday, September 30, via Saint Records and Columbia. The album features Devonte Hynes (aka Blood Orange), Moses Sumney, Sampha, Q-Tip, Tweet, and former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland (Solange is Beyoncé‘s sister after all), among others.

The album was announced yesterday directly to 86 fans who Knowles mailed a poetry book of lyrics and photos also entitled A Seat At the Table. A digital version of the book can be downloaded at Knowles’ website here.
