When I Get Home

Scenes from When I Get Home, the music film project which accompanies the album of the same name, both released March 2019 by Solange.

“With this album, I had so much to feel. Words would have been reductive.”

Solange says of the feel-album follow up to her 2016 critically acclaimed and socially-conscious say-album, A Seat at the Table. The words were received by a mixed audience of music peers, friends, community, and even black cowboys. All in attendance at one of the nine film screening locations for When I Get Home, throughout Solo’s hometown, Houston.

The lyrics that do make it on the record, are often repeated, and holding a minimal place in the loose structure forum of styles from jazz to trap, funk, and electronic. The words mesmerize rather than converse or narrate, like a chant or affirmation. But what’s clear is that all points on the record lead back to the artist’s beloved H-Town. A celebration of home, of black culture, black-owned businesses and a reclamation of origin. Third Ward, the predominantly black populated district just south of Downtown Houston, where Solange grew up and mainly centers her experience, is currently undergoing gentrification and families still recovering from Hurricane Harvey might soon find themselves relocating. 

So in addition to a chopped love letter, When I Get Home is also a hydraulic statue, a twerking afro-futurist telegram, a commemorative avant-garde huddle. Pulling in a focus to remind everyone what’s come out of Houston, what its people are capable of; to inspire young black girls of their potential and invitation to contribute to the city’s legacy. Working on the album on location and even collaborating with members of her old high school jazz band to explore the sound, Solange truly made When I Get Home with Houston. An experience that would likely subdue anyone’s vocabulary, preferring to instead humbly live and be in the music; to feel your way through it.
