Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Solange has released When I Get Home – the hugely anticipated follow-up to her 2016 album A Seat at the Table.
After suggesting the album would be released in November last year, Solange announced yesterday (Thursday 28 February) that it would be released on streaming services at midnight.
The fourth full-length is comprised of 19 tracks and incorprates funk, R&B, blues and soul. It includes contributions from Tyler, the Creator, Gucci Mane, Sampha, Cassie, Dev Hynes (Blood Orange) and many more, and was mixed by Mikaelin "Blue" Bluespruce Lounge Studios, and mastered by Joe Laporta at Sterling Sound.
Solange preceded the release with a takeover of the website BlackPlanet.com, which included cryptic phrases that appeared to announce her statement of intent with this album: "An exploration of origin... I made the pilgrimage back to the pagoda of Third Ward Houston to answer this."
The album is available on all major streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music.
Following the album's release the artist tweeted: "I'm filled with so much joy right now!!! Wow! I can't thank y'all enough for this moment and for all the feelings I feel in my body! I'm bringing home w me everywhere I go y'alll and I ain't running from s**t no more. Your love lifts me up so high. Thank you!"
