Blood Orange - Negro Swan

NEW VINYL LP ON DOMINO 2018

2 X 180 GRAM VINYL. 

Producer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, songwriter and vocalist Devonte Hynes returns with his fourth album as Blood Orange, 'Negro Swan!'

Raised in England, Hynes started out as a teenage punk in the UK 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 moniker Blood Orange.  His last album, Freetown Sound, was released to critical acclaim in 2016, and saw Hynes defined as one of the foremost musical voices of his time, receiving comparisons to the likes of Kendrick Lamar and D'Angelo for his own searing and soothing personal document of life as a black man in America.  He has collaborated with Solange Knowles, fka twigs, and many other artists, and was recently one of four artists invited to the Kennedy Center to perform alongside Philip Glass.  In addition to his production work, he scored the film Palo Alto, directed by Gia Coppola.
