Blood Orange’s Freetown Sound Will Be Dropping On July 1

Dev Hynes announced the release date for his third Blood Orange album, Freetown Sound, via the above video featuring himself working out some dance moves interspersed with old video footage of De La Soul, Blondie, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and more.

Hynes spoke on the album's creation via a press release from his label:

"I have just finished making an album about my life, my upbringing, being black in England, being black in America...my movement to this country at the age of 21, the same age that my mother moved from Guyana to London, and my father from Sierra Leone to London. Freetown Sound, the name of my album, is taken from Freetown where my father was born."
