Though this LP largely works with the same painterly blend of funk, neo-soul and hip-hop sounds found on A Seat At The Table, the looseness of beats like ‘My Skin My Logo’ nods to the chopped ‘n’ screwed sound of Houston artists like DJ Screw. For one thing, When I Get Home is punctuated by narratives from women of the city’s Third Ward, the same district that Solange grew up in. This is another masterful set of contemporary pop vignettes from Solange, one in which she turns towards her home city of Houston for inspiration. Of course, When I Get Home makes all of that expectation seem like small fry. It had scored Solange her first number one album in the United States and established her as a major pop star.
After all, her previous LP, 2016’s A Seat At The Table, was widely regarded as one of the best records of that year. Solange had a tough task in making When I Get Home.
