Dev Hynes, as Blood Orange, released his fourth album, Negro Swan, two years after Freetown Sound. It's a great album for our current dystopia, sharing the traumas of the black experience. The gentle funk in 'Orlando' hides the harsh lyrics, and the sunny guitar in 'Charcoal Baby' makes a welcome return. The album keeps shifting, with thought - provoking interludes. Recorded in studios worldwide, it features guests like Puff Daddy, Tei Shi, A$AP Rocky, and Project Pat. Pressed on 180 - gram orange vinyl, this double - LP comes with printed inner sleeves, a digital download, and it's a limited edition from Domino in 2018.
