Is that Playboi Carti or MADEINTYO at the end of this song? No, I know who that is, that’s Roscoe from Martin! (Update: It’s The-Dream and Playboi Carti)
Us as black people hate when you put us in a box, and I feel like “Almeda” is one of those tracks that says f**k your box! The song’s structure seems all over the place, Solange’s lyrical content sounds erratic, and the instrumental attached to the song is as rebellious as it gets! Though the concoction makes for one of the weirdest s**t you’ve ever heard in your life, it also makes you feel proud as hell you are black. Solange is as pro-black as Jim Brown, which is why it didn’t surprise me at all to hear her praise our culture extensively on “Almeda.” I also love how “Binz,” the following track, picks up from where the song left off. I enjoy the serene instrumental that powers “Jerrod” and how lost in love Solange sounds both lyrically and vocally on it. I love “Jerrod!” (Not him, the song) On it, Solange soothingly lets her boo know that he can have all of her love, even if that means she has none left for herself.
