SOLANGE ELISA TAHAN
When Beyoncé released Lemonade last April, it was one of the greatest celebrations of Black womanhood and collaborative Black excellence ever created by a mainstream artist—musically and visually, it was everything.
Or at least we thought it was everything, until her more experimental little sis Solange Knowles dropped A Seat at the Table just six months later. While Beyoncé’s genre-melting Lemonade illustrated her personal experiences with infidelity, family, and loss as a declaration of the worth and power of Black women, Solange’s record provides 21 tracks of beautifully arranged R&B with lyrics more relatable to the average Black American.
