Blood Orange: Negro Swan

LP Record Producer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, singer and songwriter Devonté Hynes returns with his fourth album as Blood Orange. Raised in England, Hynes started out as a punk in the British band Test Icicles before releasing two orchestral, acoustic pop records as Lightspeed Champion. In 2011, he released Coastal Grooves, the first of three solo albums under the name Blood Orange. His last album, Freetown Sound, a deeply personal document about life as a Black person in America, was critically acclaimed in 2016, and Hynes was recognised as one of the most significant musical voices of his time. Comparisons have been made to Kendrick Lamar and D'Angelo.
