Dev Hynes shares new Blood Orange track, ‘Sandra’s Smile’
Standalone track is streaming now.
Dev Hynes has shared a new Blood Orange song, a brand new standalone single.
Streaming below, the track follows lyrics which were posted by Hynes over the weekend. It’s devoted to Sandra Bland, an African-American woman who died in suspicious circumstances under police custody.
Elsewhere this year, Hynes released the ‘Do You See My Skin Through The Flames?’ track, a politically-charged and affecting one-off. He also shared a mix containing 46-minutes’ worth of new music.
Listen to ‘Sandra’s Smile’ below (update: there’s also a snazzy new video - watch that too).
