Solange has been sharing outtakes from her music video and they’re absolutely STUNNING

Given that she released one of our favorite albums of the year, it’s safe to say that we’re pretty obsessed with EVERYTHING Solange Knowles is doing at the moment.

The singer released her third album, the sublime A Seat at the Table, in September, and the collection reached number one on the Billboard 200, marking the singer’s first record to reach the summit.

Dealing with issues of loss, race, feminism, and socio-political themes, Solange has shown how creatively involved she was with the project. Sharing behind the scenes of the the recording process, she showcased how she wrote and recorded the material. What’s more, she even shared videos of the choreography she created for the two visuals released, too.

Tbh, we’ve been OBSESSING over the two videos for “Don’t Touch My Hair” and “Cranes in the Sky” since we saw them. Just check out how beautiful they are.

Well, now Solange has been sharing some outtakes from the videos and they’re absolutely STUNNING.

We love the juxtaposition between the wild and rocky terrain with Sol in a gorgeous red sequined ballgown.

The singer opened up earlier this year about the themes in A Seat at the Table in an interview on her cultural hub, Saint Heron.

In a conversation with her mother and journalist Judnick Mayard, Solange spoke about how embracing themes of race and her truth.

"I would hope that people would hear this record and recognize my truth and respect my truth, even if it isn’t exactly their truth, in order to allow me to have the space to expand in my evolution," she said. "If there is someone that is not on board with allowing me that space and allowing me to live and have it in my truth, then they probably were not fans to begin with."

The singer also dedicated the album to her mother and father.

"One thing that people are just now seeing, with [my mom] being very public and on social media, is that we grew up very pro-Black, Solange said. “We grew up in a household with two parents who constantly celebrated Blackness and created forums and spaces to empower Black communities. This might feel new for other people, but it is surely not new for me." Continuing, she added: "I think that I feel extremely privileged that my parents went through all of the pain, trauma, and the weight of being two young Black people who came from not much at all and who were able to dream big and manifest it. “[A] huge part of the record is just honoring and giving a tribute to my parents.

We love seeing these behind the scenes outtakes from Solange’s videos. She’s been so open about this album, and really given fans a chance to peer inside her creative process, something that we’re really grateful for.

Solange’s new album A Seat at the Table is available now.
