Singer Solange Knowles, also known as Beyonce’s sister, will release her anticipated third full-length album, A Seat at the Table, this Friday.

SOLANGE TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM THIS FRIDAY

A Seat at the Table is Solange’s first full-length album since 2008, when she released Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams. She also released an EP in 2012 called True.

She announced on Instagram in June, on her 30th birthday, that she had completed her fourth studio album, calling it her “most proud body of work,” and now finally it is being released.
