BLOOD ORANGE - FREETOWN SOUND
Dev Hynes’ discography is already quite impressive with producer/songwriter credits on releases from Solange, Sky Ferreira, Kindness and so on - and now he just recruited a whole bunch of exciting people on his new record Freetown Sound (out now on Domino). Nelly Furtado, Carly Rae Jepsen, BEA1991, Debbie Harry, Adam Bainbridge (a.k.a. Kindness), Empress Of, Ian Isiah, Kelsey Lu, Jason Arce, Ava Raiin, Aaron Maine (a.k.a. Porches), Bryndon Cook (a.k.a. Starchild) and Patrick Wimberly, in case you’re wondering. “Freetown Sound is a tour de force, a confluence of Hynes’ past, present, and future that melds his influences with his own established musical voice” reads the press release - that’s just a really nice way to say the album is bloody beautiful and timeless. Blood Orange for breakfast, for the rest of the year. Watch the video for Augustine below & stream the rest of Freetown Sound below - you’ll be craving for more than just one sip.
