Solange announced her new album, A Seat At The Table, on Tuesday, calling it “a project on identity, empowerment, independence, grief and healing.” Now the follow-up to 2012’s excellent True EP is here, accompanied by a book, and featuring spots from Kelela, Q-Tip, Kelly Rowland, Lil Wayne, Dev Hynes, Sampha, Moses Sumney, The-Dream, BJ the Chicago Kid, Sean Nicholas Savage and Tweet. It’s a floating melange of R&B, bold in its quiet and understated sounds, bolder in its message.

You can listen to A Seat At The Table below, and check out Microphone Check’s 2014 interview with Solange.
