Solange Debuts Stunning, Self-Directed When I Get Home Short Film: Watch

Continuing the Knowles family member tradition of outworking each person, Solange has dropped her second new project in much less than 24 hours. The Houston artist surprise-released her fourth album, When I Get Home, at midnight, and right now she's unveiled what she's calling a "Texas Film" to supplement the new sounds.


Released on Friday night (March 1) by means of the Apple Music, the 33-minute short film is packed with stunning visuals that pay homage to her culturally prosperous hometown. It features decorative choreography, pole dancers, scenes set in the desert and in Houston, a 3D-animated dance sequence that'll make you levitate, and more. Several of the images were teased earlier this week on the singer's similarly decorative BlackPlanet page.


In a press release for the film, Solange's reps mentioned, "The film is an exploration of origin, asking the question how much of ourselves do we bring with us versus leave in back of in our developments. The artist returned to Third Ward Houston to answer this."


Besides starring in the Western-themed spectacle, Solange also directed and edited it, and also contributing directors Alan Ferguson, Terence Nance, Jacolby Satterwhite, and Ray Tintori.
