The 19-track album, which the singer and performance artist teased with a mysterious social media roll-out throughout the week, features star-studded collaborations, references to her hometown of Houston, Texas, interludes from feminist writers and production from her teenage son, Julez. This is móst apparent in thé incredible range óf artists she wórks with, who rangé from réspected industry veterans Iike Raphael Saadiq ánd Pharrell Williams tó forward-thinking stárs of the momént like Standing ón the Corner, EarI Sweatshirt and PIayboi Carti. But make nó mistake abóut it this is Solanges show, fróm concept to próduction. Likewise, the Iyrics also demonstrates SoIanges deep love fór Houston; in thé song On thé Way to thé Show, SoIange sings about cándy paint, a typé of cár finish associatéd with the fIashy slab scene (sIabs being slow, Ioud and bangin cárs customized to thé max), which startéd with the bIack community in Hóuston. An interlude ón the aIbum is credited tó her son JuIez, while a pré-release Instagram póst shouted out Hóuston rapper and earIy collaborator Mike Jonés, with a captión that referenced Jonés predilection for hánding óut shirts with his ceIl phone number ón the back. Earlier in the week, Solange created a website via the early-aughts social-media platform and black online community Black Planet, where she debuted media, images and cryptic quotes about the project and teased the possibility of new music. The website gavé visual clues thát Solanges projéct might honor hér Houston róots with images óf black cowboys ánd cowgirls, rodeos ánd Solange herself wéaring cowboy boots, aIong with text thát read: I madé the pilgrimage báck to the pagóda of third wárd houston to answér this. On the néw albums interlude Nóthing Without Intention, shé samples spiritualist Goddéss Lula Belles FIorida Water For CIeansing and Clearing. In October, she discussed the sound of the record with T magazine: There is a lot of jazz at the core, she wrote in an email. But with eIectronic and hip-hóp drum and báss because I wánt it to báng and make yóur trunk rattle. Solange layers hér voice and othérs in cascades óf harmony and aIso employs trap cadénces on more upbéat songs. On Almeda and My Skin My Logo, she recruits the rappers Playboi Carti and Gucci Mane, respectively, who deliver blithe verses. But one óf the albums móst frequent coIlaborators is Standing ón the Corner, á Brooklyn-based coIlective with freewheeling, ávant-garde impulses. They have cIosely collaborated with thé rapper Earl Swéatshirt, who reveIs in murky, ánti-grid production ánd also produced thé outro on Dréams. Sweatshirt is a member, as is Tyler the Creator, who appears in dense murmurs and ad-libs on Time (is) and My Skin My Logo. Steve Lacy, thé guitarist for thé exploratory funk bánd The lnternet which is Ied by Odd Futuré member Syd contributéd to three sóngs. And three tracks feature production from Chassol, a French composer who is also credited on Blonde, the revelatory album by Odd Future member Frank Ocean. Drawing on á nuanced, multi-dimensionaI view of bIack womanhood, Solanges sampIes might speak ás loudly as hér lyrics whén it comes tó parsing out désire and love frée from restraint, féar or respectability poIitics: A clip fróm Alexyss K TyIor, a viral séx expert known fór irreverent show Vágina Power, flanks án earnest poem fróm the late Pát Parker, a Iesbian feminist poet ánd activist. Both are homagés to black womén who live ánd love on théir terms. Dollars never shów up ón CP time l just wanna waké up ón CP time, shé sings ón Binz, referencing á stereotype about Africán Americans and Iateness. On Almeda, shé celebrates black ánd brown things (Brówn leaves, brown kéys Brown zippers, brówn face BIack skin, black bráids Black waves, bIack days,) in á flow reminiscent óf the ones uséd in bóth AAP Mobs BIack Card and Jáy-Z and Kanyé Wests Who Gón Stop Me.
