Blood Orange - Cupid Deluxe

Review by Sammy Maine

Cupid Deluxe is arguably Dev Hynes' finest work and an improvement on Blood Orange's debut release but he shouldn't be afraid to place himself centre stage instead of hiding behind guest appearances.»

'Cupid Deluxe' is the follow up to Devonte Hynes' debut as Blood Orange, 2011's 'Coastal Grooves'. Since that album's release, Hynes has written and produced music for the likes of Solange, Sky Ferreira, MKS, and more. 'Cupid Deluxe' shows a more expansive aural palate than its predecessor while retaining the pop sensibilities that Hynes has showcased since his days in Test Icicles and Lightspeed Champion. The album features amazing guest appearances by David Longstreth (Dirty Projectors), Caroline Polachek (Chairlift), Samantha Urbani (Friends), Clams Casino, Despot, Adam Bainbridge (Kindness), Skepta and more.
