  1. Blood Orange (aka producer/composer/multi-instrumentalist Devonté Hynes) has announced a new album, Negro Swan. The follow-up to 2016’s Freetown Sound arrives August 24 via Domino. Find the artwork below; scroll down for Hynes’ upcoming tour dates.
    “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,” Hynes said in a statement. “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.”

  2. [Intro: Janet Mock]
    So, like, my favorite images
    Are the ones were...
    Someone who isn't supposed to be there
    Who's like in a space, a space where
    We were not ever walking down, we were not invited
    Yet we walk in and we show all the way up
    People try to, put us down by saying
    "She doing the most" or "he's way too much"
    But, like, why would we want to do the least?

    [Chorus]
    Cheap on your skin, smooth
    Jewels that ring
    Shine hit your eyes
    Black kiss the ring
    Ruby ebony sides
    Change my eyes for something, cool

    [Verse 1]
    A dream never leaving my sight
    A sun never leaving my side
    A feeling, a door starts to close
    I'm feeling the burn in my eyes
    The eyes of a heavy best
    Suited to staying indoors like a good nigga
    I treated the hope like my home
    And destroyed it, go figure


    Still proud, best of my abilities
    Still I think about an exit
    No one ever will appreciate
    The way you bare your soul for them to or attune
    I'm through
    I'm through

    [Chorus]
    Cheap on your skin, smooth
    Jewels that ring
    Shine hit your eyes
    Black kiss the ring
    Ruby ebony sides

    [Verse 2]
    Nigga, I'm feeling myself
    (Nigga, I'm feeling myself)
    Nigga, I'm still in my zone
    (I'm still in my zone)
    Got big books but I'm broke (I'm broke)
    Nigga, I'm feeling myself
    (Nigga, I'm feeling myself)
    One time for the help
    (One time, one time)
    Two times 'fore I fell
    Three times for the hopeless feeling
    Look at how I'm spending my wealth
    (Look at how I'm spending my wealth)
    And I'm feeling myself looking up
    But then the thoughts start filling me up, me up
    Nigga, I'm feeling my, nigga, I'm feeling myself
    (Nigga, I'm feeling myself)
    One time for the help
    When the news is way too fi'
    And a man get shot on the passenger side
    Too bad 'cos a nigga went live (went live)
    Nigga, I'm feeling my, nigga, I'm feeling myself
    Seek what you need to get by
    Awake with one eye closed
    In dark black clothes
    Red and blue lights on my stone
    Go back to being unknown
    Relax your hair
    Tuck your shirt
    Put your glasses on
    Play your guitar
