Blood Orange
Raised in England, Devonté Hynes started in the punk band Test Icicles before releasing two orchestral acoustic pop records as Lightspeed Champion. Since 2011, Hynes has released four solo albums under the name Blood Orange – Coastal Grooves, Cupid Deluxe, Freetown Sound, and Negro Swan, as well as 2019’s Angel’s Pulse mixtape, all of which have been met with critical acclaim. In addition to his solo work, Hynes has written and produced for pop music superstars including Mariah Carey, A$AP Rocky, and Solange among many others. His 2024 collaboration with Nathy Peluso El Día Que Perdí Mi Juventud won the Latin Grammy award for best Alternative Song. He is also an accomplished film and television composer, with credits including the scores for Melina Matsoukas’ Queen and Slim, Luca Guadagnino’s We Are Who We Are, Rebecca Hall’s Passing and Paul Schrader’s Master Gardener. In 2018, Hynes was one of four pianists invited to play alongside Phillip Glass at the Kennedy Center, and in 2020, he was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Chamber Music or Small Ensemble Performance for his work with Third Coast Percussion on their collaborative album Fields. His debut Concerto for piano and strings, Happenings, premiered at New York’s Little Island Festival in 2021, and most recently he has collaborated with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the LA Philharmonic, and the London Symphony Orchestra, among others for sold out performances of his Selected Classical Works program. His forthcoming album Essex Honey will be released by RCA on August 29th.
