A Seat at the Table Oozes Sleek Black Pride
RnB/Hip Hop | Sunday 9th October 2016 | Jola
Solange Knowles has always held her own in shadow of her sister, and that shadow isn't dark, it's shining gold.
Her new album, A Seat at the Table, is a prime example of her talent and independence as an artist. The album features over 20 tracks, and all offer a lush range of funk, R&B, neo-soul and hip-hop creating a collision of creative content that makes everyone want to get down.
At thirty years old, she is a mother, a wife and now a large part of the black artistic movement through this combination of musical and visual arts.
She makes her skin colour and female form the art. Especially in the U.S with its current racial tensions, Solange's expression is peaceful and effortless yet offers a strong message of the need for black expression.
Female self-love is important, and black female self-love is paramount in a world full of harsh beauty standards and racial ignorance. This is a perfect performance of black artistry, she shows that there is no need to adhere to any standard to succeed.
Make sure to listen to the entire album, but for now listen to the most popular song, Don't Touch my Hair.
