“Cranes On The Sky” was released on Solo’s album, A Seat At The Table, and the track with themes of self love, self-doubt and blackness in America was a standout from the start.

While her winning category wasn’t televised, Solange took to Twitter to express her gratitude. 

Thank you for your well wishes. Gratitude.
