Solange's latest project. After the album dropped, she released a 33-minute short film that brought it all together. It's a visual metaphor for some of the experiences of Black womanhood.
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.

Last week fans were given Solange’s latest LP and accompanying album experience When I Get Home, which offers a unique ode to her hometown of Houston. Now the artist has returned with a brand new visual for her track “Almeda.”
The cinematic, self-directed music video sees Solange vibing around in an intriguingly artistic manner – visually highlighting her lyrical content that showcases the importance of her Brown and Black brothers and sisters. Utilizing some fantastically spliced and choreographed scenes, Solange relishes in her use of zoom-in and zoom-out effects which chime in whimsically against the song’s backdrop.
You can check out her latest video for “Almeda” above.
