Solange Drops New When I Get Home Film: Watch
Tonight, Solange released a new companion film to her latest album When I Get Home. The film was directed and edited by Solange; she worked with contributing directors Alan Ferguson, Terence Nance, Jacolby Satterwhite, and Ray Tintori. It also includes contributions from Autumn Knight and Robert Pruitt. Watch it now on Apple Music.
“The film is an exploration of origin, asking the question how much of ourselves do we bring with us versus leave behind in our evolution,” Solange’s representatives said in a statement. “The artist returned to Third Ward Houston to answer this.”
Solange stars in the film, which features When I Get Home’s songs. It’s got elaborate choreography, a fleet of DeLoreans, scenes from a rodeo, a man riding on horseback while wearing an awesome mask, a woman welding (and subsequently dragging) what appears to be a spaceship console, and much more. During “Sound of Rain,” there’s a surreal original animated artwork by Satterwhite that shows, among other things, people on fire.
Solange released her last full-length, the critically acclaimed A Seat at the Table, in 2016. Since then, she has toured heavily behind that record, won the Grammy for Best R&B Performance (“Cranes In the Sky”), starred in a Calvin Klein campaign, and much more.
