Now, Knowles has released two aesthetically stunning and powerful videos for two songs off her new album, “Cranes in the Sky” and “Don’t Touch My Hair.” The videos were co-directed by Knowles, alongside her husband, Alan Ferguson, and continue to address the themes of identity politics and race that feature so prominently on the album. On her website [Saint Heron](http://saintheron.com/featured/watch-solange-debuts-captivating-visuals-to-accompany-cranes-in-the-sky-dont-touch-my-hair/ "undefined"), the music videos are described as “a musical representation of the spirit within an unapologetically Black woman who is not interested in remaining silent in a critical time of identity, empowerment, grief, healing and self-expression – let alone, artistic expression.” Watch the full videos for “Cranes in the Sky” and “Don’t Touch My Hair” below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4516491/solange-knowles-music-video-a-seat-at-the-table/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4516491/solange-knowles-music-video-a-seat-at-the-table/"},"headline":"Watch Solange Knowles' Two Stunning New Music Videos","datePublished":"2016-10-03T14:46:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:14.548Z","description":"She released the visuals for \"Cranes in the Sky\" and \"Don't Touch My Hair\"","url":"https://time.com/4516491/solange-knowles-music-video-a-seat-at-the-table/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Music","Culture","solange knowles"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta680a965828f7865/6988a869fb4eac273988f563/solange-knowles-music-videos-a-seat-at-the-table.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta680a965828f7865/6988a869fb4eac273988f563/solange-knowles-music-videos-a-seat-at-the-table.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2016 ESSENCE Festival Presented By Coca-Cola Ernest N.
