Blood Orange’s Dev Hynes Breaks Down Every Song on His New Album, Negro Swan | Pitchfork

 

How Dev Hynes, English Misfit, Became Blood Orange, R.&.B. Miracle Worker

 

so excited to listen to this tomorrow night

 

yeah same

 

lmao at pitchfork snubbing this of BNM

Can’t wait for it to place highly on their year end list

 

There’s not enough of that. People put out double albums and long single albums, but it’s never two at once, like Bright Eyes with I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn dropping the same day.
Iconic. The thing is, I think a lot of people work like that but just feel like they’re not allowed to.

 

Great album. I'm glad I waited to listen to Chewing Gum because it's fire as hell.

 

the Janet Mock interludes on this are so great

 

Yves Tumor is opening the Toronto shows and this is now my most anticipated gig for the rest of the year. I might even need to go to both nights now.

 

That sample is already stuck in my head. Great choice of opener.

 

It's so great, I've been obsessed with it for a bit. Insanely catchy.

This is their most recent song, but it doesn't really reflect the rest of their released music. Everything else is much more ambient. This is a personal favourite from last year:

 

I just want to listen to Hope on repeat. It's such a soothing song.

 

Love how this album really does sound like you're hanging out in a park in New York.

 

Dev is such a good fucking songwriter. I love this

 

mfw I hear Caroline's background vocals on Holy Will

 

new mix/edit of Chewing Gum

 

Just finished listening to all four albums for the first time and I liked each one more than the last, I can't believe I waited this long to check him out. His early stuff kind of reminds me of Toro y Moi and the new one reminds me of Blonde. Always love when an artist shows so much range

 

At this point I gotta say my favorite is Cupid Deluxe, every song on that is

 

Cupid Deluxe has one of the best songs ever (Chamakay)

 

Last album was good but feels like a huge step up. Took to it immediately. I love that woozy, nebulous feel to it

 

Just saw him live and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen tbh.

 

Saw him in Philly the other night. The show was just wonderful. I was happy he spotlighted everyone in the band throughout the show.

 

The songs just sound so full live. The sound really opens up and you notice each instrument more, and the complexities of the compositions really present themselves. He also just kills it vocally, super passionate and beautiful. His live band is equally amazing and the attention he gave to each member was heartwarming.
