Beyoncé isn't the only member of the Knowles clan dropping an album this year.
After a four-year wait, a new Solange Knowles album arrives this week, her first since her breakout 2012 EP, True. Knowles revealed that A Seat at the Table will land Friday, sharing the album cover on social media.
My Album, A Seat At The Table, will be released this Friday September 30th.
