Blood Orange - Freetown Sound Review

Name: Blood Orange - Freetown Sound

Released: 28th June 2016

Genre: Indie Pop, 80's Revival, Experimental

Review: Blood Orange or Devonté Hynes releases one of his most ambitious records to date with Freetown Sound. Blood Orange has been making music for a while now and has so far made 3 records with this being his most popular. On this record Blood Orange puts out catchy song after catchy song. This album brings a special message of racism while at the same time still talking about love and relationships. This record also includes many popular guest singers such as Carly Rae Jepsen, Zuri Marley, Debbie Harry, Empress Of, Nelly Furtado and many more. The vocals provided are always energetic and exciting. The vocals on Best To You (performed by Empress Of) are my favourite vocals on the record because of their power and energy. The start of the record is a weakpoint for me because of its lack of songwriting and production but then the record later picks up. Overall the record has many fun moments and is worth listening to.

Fav Tracks: Best To You, Love Ya, Desire, Juicy 1-4, Thank You, E.V.P, Hands Up, Better Than Me

Least Fav Tracks: Augustine
