Solange's long-awaited follow-up to 2016's A Seat at the Table is landing this fall.
The singer-songwriter dropped the details in a new interview with The New York Times published Monday (October 15). Without making promises of an official release date, the 32-year-old songbird states SG4 will "likely arrive into the world fully formed at some mysterious and unexpected moment."
According to the profile, Solange's upcoming unnamed fourth studio album was recorded in New Orleans, Jamaica, and California’s Topanga Canyon. “There is a lot of jazz at the core,” she told the Times. “But with electronic and hip-hop drum and bass because I want it to bang and make your trunk rattle.”
In just a few words, the R&B phenom assures her new LP, which is undergoing its "final touches," will be "fluid and more sensual." Hopefully, it simulates the funk, neo-soul and psychedelic charm we fell in love with on A Seat, having produced jams like "Don't Touch My Hair" and "Cranes in the Sky," which earned Solange the Grammy for Best R&B Performance — her first Grammy nod and victory.
In an earlier interview, she revealed she's been working closely with The Internet's Steve Lacy for her next full-length. Also: “I actually have been following Joni Mitchell. It has been really wild. The house that I was just recording in [in] Jamaica, I stayed there for four days. And then the last day, the owner was like, 'You know that mural that’s downstairs in the spare bedroom that the engineer booth is in? Joni Mitchell painted that.'"
