Solange, the pop artist responsible for 2016's neo-soul masterpiece A Seat At The Table, is the subject of a fascinating, far-ranging new profile in The New York Times. The piece explores her early albums and recent forays into performance art, but it also contains a juicy promise for fans: Her new album is not only just about finished, but its release is, in the article’s words, “imminent.” Like her sister, Beyoncé, she’ll reportedly opt for a surprise release, with the album arriving “fully formed at some mysterious and unexpected moment, like a meteor cratering into the culture.”

The Grammy-winning artist drops few concrete details about the album, but does reveal that it was recorded in New Orleans, Jamaica, and California’s Topanga Canyon. “There is a lot of jazz at the core,” Solange says of the record. “But with electronic and hip-hop drum and bass because I want it to bang and make your trunk rattle.”
