Who is Dev Hynes? He now performs under the name Blood Orange and used to be Lightspeed Champion. He’s a singer, guitarist, songwriter, and producer, who channels music - ‘70s soul, ‘50s gospel, ‘80s hip hop, timeless political speeches and modern-day political headlines - into a wildly kaleidoscopic, Afro-futurist vision of what music has been and what it could become. Negro Swan is the name of his last album - even in its title it suggests so much. A one-on-one conversation with this man is bound to be penetrating, challenging, brain-expanding and necessary in these times.
