Solange’s ‘A Seat At The Table’ Turns 10 | Album Anniversary

‘A Seat At The Table’ gives emotional architecture to experiences that popular culture has too often expected Black people, particularly Black women, to explain, defend or dilute for somebody else’s comfort.

Parliament’s ‘The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein’ Turns 50 | Album Anniversary

A perfectly crafted celebration of funk and bliss, George Clinton & crew’s fifth studio affair plays like 40 minutes of revelry.

New Order’s ‘Brotherhood’ Turns 40 | Album Anniversary

So much more than the glorious “Bizarre Love Triangle,” New Order’s fourth studio album presents the band at the peak of their electro-rock hybrid powers.
