*As we previously reported, Solange hinted at a new project on Tuesday when she resurrected BlackPlanet by launching an account on the 20-year-old social networking site that lost its cool ages ago.
Knowles announced her new account via Twitter and Instagram, sharing a video of her main page filled with GIFs, various text and a link to a dossier, which features her portraits, rodeo-inspired photography, and pictures of dancers, per complex.com.
Many fans concluded that her presence on BlackPlanet signaled that she would soon drop her long-awaited fourth studio album… and they were right.

“There is a lot of jazz at the core,” Solange told the New York Times about the new album last year. “But with electronic and hip-hop drum and bass because I want it to bang and make your trunk rattle.”
“When I Get Home” is the follow-up to 2016’s critically acclaimed “A Seat at the Table,” which earned the singer/songwriter her first Grammy nomination and win for Best R&B Performance (“Cranes in the Sky”).
In support of the album, Solange will host a series of events March 3 throughout Houston’s Third Ward. Learn more about the “album experience” here.
“When I Get Home” is available to purchase on iTunes, and can be streamed on Apple Music, iTunes, TIDAL, and more.
