Blood Orange – “Cupid Deluxe” – [Domino Recording Co Ltd]

Belladonna   1/19/2016   A Library, CD

aka New York based, London born Devonte Dev Hynes, a very seasoned musician/writer/producer who has worked with a lot of big name mainstream pop artists. While this definitely appeals to all of my pop music sensibilities, its far from mainstream. Blood Orange is swaggy, loungey yacht rock disco with a solid electronic RnB foundation. There is something very charming and addictive about this, particularly the first track Chamakay. Its like a guilty pleasure that you can listen to while still keeping your street cred, while wearing sequins. Enjoy!
