Solange spoke to AnOther Magazine about her albums
"A Seat at the Table and When I Get Home involved so much deep listening and research and lineage work. What’s interesting when I think about those records is that there’s only one song on each of them that’s dedicated to romantic relationships. Ninety-nine per cent of each was devoted to self, to mystery, to God, to history, to trauma. Those aren’t easy subjects. And it’s not to say that romantic life is not incredibly complex and doesn’t take up a lot of space in our lives, but you’re creating from an entirely different vantage point – one that’s all-consuming in a different way. Historically, growing up as an R&B enthusiast, there weren’t a lot of albums to reference where themes of romantic love didn’t show up."
