"Let Hynes put his fingerprints on your work and together you'll turn to gold."
("The Top 50 Albums of 2013") - Pitchfork

"The work of Devonté Hynes radiates a thorough, passionate, forgetting-to-eat-or-sleep love for the last 30 years of pop." - New York Times

"On 'Cupid Deluxe,' the gifted Dev Hynes mixes morphing arrangements and layered vocals for lush, soulful result...it was one of the best albums of 2013." - Wall Street Journal

Devonté Hynes - aka Blood Orange - released his sophomore album Cupid Deluxe to critical acclaim last year. Today, he releases a new music video for Cupid Deluxe's grime-inspired track, "High Street" featuring UK rapper, Skepta. PRESS HERE<http://www.ssense.com/video/blood-orange-skepta-high-street-video> to watch the video exclusively via ssense.com.

Subsequent to the release of Cupid Deluxe, Hynes has quickly established himself as one of the most prolific musicians, songwriters, and producers in contemporary music: Cupid Deluxe earned recognition from both NPR Music and Pitchfork in their Top 50 Albums of the Year compilations. Known as "2014's answer to Lou Reed" according to GQ, 2014 has undoubtedly been the year of Devonté Hynes.

Blood Orange's partnership with SSENSE is part of the international online retailer's series of bi-weekly music-based videos, a project that has seen collaborations between established artists and creatives from every corner of the industry. So far, SSENSE has premiered videos for artists like Sky Ferreira, Hercules & Love Affair, and Henry Krinkle. In their most recent release, Maryam L'Ange directed Chloë Sevigny in a noir-inspired fashion film featuring music by electronica three-piece, Eaux. Every video allows viewers to shop the fashion featured on screen, while Blood Orange and Skepta's "High Street" offers an exclusive preview of the upcoming Fall season.

Cupid Deluxe is available for download via iTunes here<http://smarturl.it/CupidDeluxe>, and you can order a physical copy of the release via Domino Records here<http://www.dominorecordco.us/usa/albums/30-09-13/cupid-deluxe/>.
