Album Notes & Community Reviews

Dev Hynes' sophomore album as Blood Orange, 'Cupid Deluxe', is a stylish and heartfelt homage to 80s New York City queer culture and nightlife. Blending funk, R&B, and new wave, the album features a diverse cast of collaborators including Skepta and Caroline Polachek. It is a melancholic yet grooving exploration of identity, longing, and the search for connection in the metropolis.
