This week's edition of Saturday Night Live had quite a few great aspects to it. For starters, it was hosted by actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who is playing the title character in the latest Marvel movie, Doctor Strange. Of course it wasn't complete without Alec Baldwin and Kate McKinnon's renditions of both Hillary Clinton an Donald Trump, urging people to go out and vote this coming Tuesday, November 8th.
As for SNL's musical guest, it was none other than Solange, performing songs off her third album, "A Seat At The Table". The singer's performance was nothing short of divine as she made her Studio 8H debut. Alongside Solange was South London-based singer-songwriter and producer, Sampha, whose vocals can be heard in "Don't Touch My Hair." In addition to performing "Cranes In The Sky", her performance was met with cheers of applause. Plus, big sister Beyoncé and their mother, Tina Lawson came out to see Sol's debut on the legendary SNL stage.
It's been quite the interesting ride for Solange, as "A Seat At The Table" debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 in it's first week. Not to mention that both she and sister Beyoncé have made history as the first and only sisters to attain No. 1 solo albums in the same year.
When her performance was over, Solange took to Twitter to thank Saturday Night Live for the opportunity to perform. "I had a great time, even through the imperfections & nervousness," Solange wrote.
