Still vibing to 2016’s Freetown Sound, I was very excited to see that Dev Hynes has a brand new Blood Orange album for the masses to enjoy. Titled Negro Swan, the 16-track project sees additional releases from A$AP Rocky, Puff Daddy, Project Pat, Steve Lacy, Georgia Anne Muldrow and more. He described the album to HYPEBEAST:

“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.”
