Travis Scott has released the official music video for “When I’m Home,” his collaboration with James Blake and composer Ludwig Göransson from Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. Directed by Scott himself, the visual was first presented during a private screening at the IMAX headquarters in Los Angeles, according to GQ. (gq.com)
Rather than filling the screen with the explosive imagery commonly associated with his performances, Scott takes a more restrained approach. The three collaborators appear throughout grand, historic spaces where modern architecture meets ancient stone, creating scenery that feels naturally connected to the mythological world of The Odyssey.
The atmospheric production gives James Blake’s haunting vocals room to move alongside Scott’s distinctive melodies and ad-libs. Göransson’s cinematic arrangement brings weight to the record, allowing “When I’m Home” to function as both a standalone collaboration and a powerful conclusion to the film’s journey.

Scott’s direction focuses heavily on scale, isolation and texture. Wide shots emphasize the enormous environments surrounding the artists, while the understated performances allow the song’s emotional themes of struggle, distance and returning home to remain at the center of the video.
With “When I’m Home,” Travis Scott, James Blake and Ludwig Göransson successfully connect contemporary music with the ancient story behind The Odyssey. The official visual expands that relationship even further, presenting a polished and carefully controlled piece that feels designed as an extension of the film rather than a traditional promotional video.
