She drove from New Orleans to New Mexico, cherry-picking the best spots along the way.
Everything about Solange's latest album, A Seat At The Table, is worthy of admiration. As usual, the singer left no detail unaccounted for. This resulted in the immaculate presentation of songs and visuals that have been all anyone has talked about for the past week. Solange has emphasized the importance of location in the making of the project. With her director/husband Alan Ferguson (pictured above), she visited a number of visually captivating sites to film the videos for ASATT; she sings in "Cranes In The Sky," I traveled 70 states, thought moving round would make me feel better. Here are a few of the beautiful locations where Solange filmed "Cranes In The Sky" and "Don't Touch My Hair."
