And of course, Solange’s mother, Tina Knowles Lawson, could not contain pride for her baby girl’s latest creative offering. “Just listened to the album two times!! Still in a groovin state of mind,” Lawson wrote on Instagram. “Love this record !!!!! I hear influence from Marvin a couple of times. I also hear H-Town all over it !!” Poet and cultural critic Hanif Abdurraqib praised Solange for “consistently taken to the task of doing more with less, from a sonic standpoint.” He concluded, “It feels like each project is becoming more sparse, but also more filling.” Meanwhile Vulture editor Hunter Harris tweeted, “When I Get Home” was “hitting parts of my ears I didn’t even know I had.” When I Get Home feels like a much-needed balm to our hectic times. Between its sublime melodies and its Blackity Black lyrics, Solange has managed to deliver yet another album that feeds our ears and our souls.My skin is moisturized. Scalp oiled. Sheet mask in place. Water glass is full. Candles lit. My mind, body, and soul are ready to receive this blessing. #WhenIGetHome pic.twitter.com/hD2Md2xGIb
