After revamping her official website and dropping breadcrumbs about a potential new project, Solange Knowles officially announced her forthcoming album A Seat at the Table (via Saint Records/Columbia) to be released Sept. 30. 

The singer-songwriter teased in an Instagram caption last week that she would be sending out invites to 86 of her loyal followers. “86 of you will receive a seat at the table in the mail…..first come….first served….www.solangemusic.com.”
