Sep 14, 2022Sophisticated and graceful, Solange gives us an accurate and introspective look at African American culture. From her museum performances, also implemented at the Venice Biennale, the artisa embraces all art forms, with full awareness. In the songs, the corporeality, the movements, the hairstyles and the clothes are perceptible, enveloping you in Knowles' world. Best track "Almeda"

Mar 13, 2022La producción es muy buena. When I Get Home tiene muchas atmosferas que hacen entrar en una inmersión de lugares asombrosos de su ciudad natal, junto con la voz espectral de Solange, convierte a WIGH, en uno de sus proyectos mas interesantes.

Dec 15, 2019Since “A Seat At The Table”, Solange changed a lot of ideas and concepts, what we can see in this afrofuturistic album. “When I Get Home” is a mix of a new Solange and a new vibe of an experimental R&B and Soul. Solange did an amazing album, with an incredible production and talentous special guests like Dev Hynes(Blood Orange); Tyler, The Creator and Steve Lacy.

Aug 27, 2019Great Album! This is probably the most vibey album to come out in 2019. Love it!

Aug 17, 2019Incredibly boring and repetitive. It expresses nothing, it is tremendously monotonous and unattractive.
-
May 23, 2019This feels so fake artsy and boring to me? Crazy, considering ASATT was my fave album of the past decade. This is just horrid.
-
May 13, 2019Feels like a super long mediation project to me, where her vocals lie behind the instrumentation most of the time with some standout lyrics & tunes just scattered around. I respect the effort but perhaps this has to be a Nope for me.
-
Apr 26, 2019By no means this is shade, but if you feel like you live in a world where you feel compelled to be Beyonce, you can always be Solange. Following the path of "A Seat At The Table", Solange's eccentric voice and style guide its listeners through the intricate lyrics and experimental melodies of this bold yet cohesive body of work.
-
Apr 24, 2019Experimental ventures into hypnotic repetition and sonics that both recall the past and propel the viewer into the future work together to conjure a deeper understanding of Solange as a creative and how she perceives the Houston she so proudly hails from.
-
Apr 5, 2019this is powerful project of woman, I love her confidence, best album of 2019 so far.
-
Apr 2, 2019Solange attempts to do a full conceptual album but the poor lyric content, excess of interludes and tired sounds & production made the album boring and without any perspective. (6/10)
-
Mar 24, 2019Everyone isn’t going to hear the beauty of this album. It’s not for everyone. And I didn’t get it on my first listen either. Not that it necessarily calls for a second listen but it deserves one. The more and more I Listen to this album the greater it seems to get. I would encourage anyone to At least listen twice.
-
Mar 20, 2019When she became so boring? Her true ep some years ago was entertaining. This is a snoozefest, even more than "a seat at the table".

Mar 9, 2019Have you ever tried to like something to a point where you give it so many chances but you still end up being disappointed? Yeah, that’s what I experienced with this album. It's not bad but it certainly left me wanting more.
-
Mar 8, 2019While more eclectic and adventurous than its predecessor, When I Get Home is let down by some stiff instrumentals and Solange's inexpressive singing.
FAV TRACKS: ALMEDA, BINZ, BELTWAY, DREAMS, STAY FLO

Mar 7, 2019Brilliant, can't stop listening. Best album of 2019 so far, will probably be in my top 5 come the end of the year.

Mar 6, 2019Random compositions, confusing tracklist. An explosion of ideas, but poorly developed

Mar 5, 2019I honestly have to say that this album is such a disappointment, especially after she release A Seat at the Table

Mar 5, 2019i didn't know i needed this album until i listened to it. album of the year.
-
Mar 5, 2019I know that a lot of people do not like this project, but personally, I like this project. Although hard to digest, it has more substantive tracks, more punchy and quirky beats, and overall a step more experimental for Solange. Decent/Strong 7.
-
Mar 4, 2019It's trying to be the arty, jazz-inflected follow-up to the Seat at the Table, but fails due to a lack of good songs or interesting direction. The production is the best part.
-
Mar 4, 2019I feel like on “When I Get Home”, Solange takes us on a journey. The problem is she’s not sure where are we headed and I’m not sure if I wanna go. The album is a collection of pleasant sounds that form absolutely nothing.
Solange clearly tried to break particular rules on her latest album, she shouldn’t have cause the result is rather messy. -
Mar 4, 2019She always amaze me. ugh. her mind. a musical genius. This album is a piece of art. A masterpiece rather

Mar 3, 2019Experimentation isn’t always for public consumption even when packaged by Beyoncé’s creative directors. I tried giving the album a few chances but it’s increibly challenging and not sure it’s worth my investment in time.
-
Mar 3, 2019It feels uninspired and lazy, just like my review some might say. Have a good day.
-
Mar 2, 2019This album is way ahead of its time. Loving the elements of all kinds of genres, from jazz to trap, this album is the whole package. More lyrical diversity on some songs would have been appreciated. Favourite songs: Things I Imagined, Stay Flo, Almeda, Sound of Rain
-
Mar 2, 2019Solange’s “When I Get Home” is equally hypnotic, equally frantic, equally comfortable, equally smooth. It’s a jazz-infused patchwork of sophisticated, avant-garde R&B, that may feel scattered at times — but is ultimately a sonically lovely stream of consciousness. My favorite track is the gorgeous “Stay Flo.”
-
Mar 2, 2019Solange's new album When I Get Home is, much like her last, a bold artistic statement about black faith, love, and pride. However this time around, the production is rich in personality. The features are low-key and bearable. The essence of Solange flows throughout each song, making each unique track uniquely hers.
-
Mar 2, 2019This album is a masterpiece! There are elements from different genres and the style is perfect! it is perfectly composed and the voice of Solage is clear and elegant. Really good!
-
Mar 2, 2019A beautiful, cohesive and well produced body of work. It might not be as good as her previous "A Seat At The Table" but it's still a great body of work that stands out. She mixed the elements of R&B, jazz and hip-hop just perfectly. Stand out tracks are: Things I Imagined, Way To The Show, Stay Flo, Dreams, Almeda, My Skin My Logo, Beltway and Sound of Rain.
-
Mar 2, 2019I'm trying so hard to enjoy this album but i can't. It seems very messy and the tracks are way to short. The big amount of interlzdes is annoying to me.
-
Mar 2, 2019Solange surprised once more. It has evolved with each job and it proves that it is on the right track
-
Mar 2, 2019Solange proves she really is carving her own way as an artist by going even further away from the mainstream with ‘When I Get Home’. Her 3rd full length album is an urban lullaby filled with circular/repetitive lyrics and sonically sounds like Afro-funk contemporary Erykah Badu. Listen to: Stay Flo, Dreams, Time (is)

Mar 1, 2019A celebration of black culture and mockery to discrimination seems perpetual. But this time, Solange puts everything related to smithereens and let those tracks do their job to connect themselves. Not unlike A Seat at the Table, When I Get Home's concept shines through all the nodes.
-
Mar 1, 2019"When I Get Home" is a dedication to Truth, Pride of being oneself and the Joy of thriving. Excellent production of Panda Bear, John Key and, obviously, Solange herself. Meaningful and surreal lyrics, a travel throughout this album, which can sometimes confuse you; however it is not an impediment to enjoy the ride. 72/100

The WireMay 7, 2019Knowles’s instincts guide the cultural conversation in a way that feels healing, intentional and authentically collectiveminded. A well-constructed spell, cast with intention. [May 2019, p.63]
-
MojoMay 1, 2019All credit to Knowles, though, whose vision is so cohesive that the 19 short tracks feel like one long, utterly immersive piece. [Jun 2019, p.86]
