2854588, Blood Orange - Cupid Deluxe
Posted by Madvillain 626, Thu Nov-07-13 07:09 PM
It's been out there for a few days. Release date got upped to the 12th. The album is amazing, Dev Hynes really mastered that 80's influenced indie soul/funk vibe on this one. Every song is good, but Chamakay, Uncle ACE, It Is What It Is, Chosen, On the Line..yo! I need to check this dude out live.

Go get this.
2854665, Thanks for the heads up.

I didn't know he was dropping another album, it feels like Coastal Grooves was only 6 months ago, but it's already over 2 years. Crazy.
2854676, It's fantastic

I was a little surprised at the number of guests, but its a big step up from Coastal Grooves (which was already pretty great). The little quotes and references to some of is past work are a nice touch.
2854681, Had this on yesterday while working around the house...

Crazy verse.
2854706, Miss the Coastal Grooves sound. Great album none the less.

Dev's the man, super talented guy. Love that song he did with Friends called The Way. It's weird cause if I were to describe Cupid Deluxe sound I would say it has coastal grooves.
2854710, He's dope live

I'm glad folks are diggin him.
2854741, yeah, this may even be better than the first blood orange album.

2854779, It's reminds me of Soul II Soul/Sade. Rate it a 75

It's a decent album that might get better with more listens. Didn't blow me away on the first listen.
