Blood Orange's aka Devonte Hynes 'Freetown Sound' is a tour de force, a confluence of Hynes’ past, present, and future that melds his influences with his own established musical voice.
'Freetown Sound' derives its name from the birthplace of Hynes’ father, the capital of Sierra Leone. Thematically, it is profoundly personal and unapologetically political, touching on issues of race, religion, sex, and sexism over 17 shimmering songs.
