Today’s Catch of the Day comes from Devonte Hynes, aka Blood Orange. He has just released two new tracks and announced that there will be a new album called Negro Swan due out on 9/24. Today’s catch is called “Jewelry“, which is my favorite of the two new songs. This song has so many elements that make it absolutely amazing. However, it’s those synth strings that take “Jewelry” to another level…so ambient and so remarkable. This is what Hynes has to say about the new LP:
“My newest album is an exploration into my own and many types of black depression, an honest look at the corners of black existence, and the ongoing anxieties of queer/people of color. A reach back into childhood and modern traumas, and the things we do to get through it all. The underlying thread through each piece on the album is the idea of hope, and the lights we can try to turn on within ourselves with a hopefully positive outcome of helping others out of their darkness.”
Don’t forget that Blood Orange will be here at this year’s ACL Fest. You can check out the video for today’s catch “Jewelry” by Blood Orange in the YouTube player below. Good things!
