Almeda (song)
"Almeda" is a song by Solange featuring Playboi Carti from her 2019 album When I Get Home. It was released on March 1, 2019, runs 3:56, and blends trap, R&B, and chopped-and-screwed styles from Houston. The track was written by Solange Knowles, The-Dream, and Jordan Carter, and produced by Solange, Pharrell Williams, and John Carroll Kirby, with Metro Boomin providing additional vocals in his first vocal appearance.
The title refers to Almeda Street in Solange's Houston hometown. The song celebrates Houston and Black culture, with lyrics that nod to purple drank and Florida Water—a fragrance Solange has spoken about publicly.
Critics praised the song, with Pitchfork naming it Best New Track and Vulture calling it a standout. Consequence of Sound also featured it as Song of the Week. A music-video segment from the When I Get Home film titled "Almeda" was released on YouTube on March 7, 2019, showing the Fort Worth Water Gardens.
