Solange released her No. 1 album A Seat at the Table less than a month ago and it’s already being revered as one of the year’s strongest LPs. The project spans many aspects of the black experience in America—from systemic racism to cultural appropriation to identity issues—ultimately showcasing pride and resilience. The music is soothing (thanks in part to production polishing by neo-soul OG Raphael Saadiq) yet the words are striking. Genius combed through all 21 tracks and plucked the project’s best lyrics.
