Los Angeles, Sep 28 (IANS): Singer Beyonce Knowles's sister Solange's fourth studio album "A Seat at the Table" will be out on Friday.

The singer, whose last album to release was "True" in 2012, announced the news on her Instagram account, reports ew.com.

"A Seat at the Table" is written by Solange and it features guest appearances from artists like Lil' Wayne, Q-Tip, The Dream, and Beyoncé's former Destiny's Child collaborator Kelly Rowland.

Solange describes the upcoming album as "a project on identity, empowerment, independence, grief, and healing".

On her 30th birthday in June, Solange announced on the photo-sharing website that she had completed the album after three years and called it her "most proud body of work."

"I say all of that to say... Don't ever let anyone write your story for you. They can talk, they can doubt, and they can say what they wanna, but only you have the words to narrate this thing we call life," she posted.

Along with the album, Solange has created a poetry book of lyrics and photographs with the same name.
