Solange took a page out Beyoncé's book with last week's cryptic social media posts. Now, she's made good on what we maybe-kind-of thought she was promising: New music.
Solange officially announced that she'd be releasing a new album, A Seat at the Table, on September 30, according to Billboard.
Knowles tweeted her excitement about the project.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude & excitement to share this work I've written and created, with you... #ASeatAtTheTable pic.twitter.com/c17voBD19W

She followed through on her promise to gift 86 followers with a seat at the table, using a handsome leatherbound volume as promotional material. Take a look at some of the Instagram images.
