Without any previous promotion, Solange released her latest album A Seat at the Table last week to much praise. While fans are still taking the time to appreciate the album in full, Solange has been sharing my details about the process it took for her to put this new body of work together.
It's been four years since the release of her True EP in 2012, and eight years since the release of her second studio album Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams. Solange took her time to create A Seat at the Time and she documented the entire process in a short film she has now shared with fans. In the short film, titled A Seat At The Table, Beginning Stages, Solange shows behind-the-scene looks at jam sessions, her writing process, and her time spent collaborating with artists like Sampha, Kindness, and more.
The mini documentary is shared with this short message:
"A Seat At The Table, Beginning Stages is a look at the early days of Solange's songwriting, jam sessions, experimentation, collaboration, and the exploring of sounds and ideas for the album.
While some of the jam sessions featured did not make the album, they helped to create and identify the sonic tone, and the early lyrics and concepts Solange wrote for the project. Filmed between Long Island, New Orleans, and New Iberia...take a peek of the journey above."
