Listen: Blood Orange Covers ‘Hold On, We’re Going Home’

This is Dev Hynes messing around. Repeat: This is Dev Hynes, busiest musical maestro of 2013, having a bit of downtime. Y’know, just recording one of the cleanest, cleverest covers of 2013 with his take on ‘Hold On, We’re Going Home’ by Drake.

What’s the thought process? Have a casual glass of water, a brief period of reflection, and decide to bring out the slap bass and go all funky Flea in the studio? Is that how it happens.

The Blood Orange cover of Drake’s single is slick to a T. But it’s tagged ‘just for fun mate.’ And it’s titled ‘BLOOD ORANGE HAVIN’ A LAFF WHILE SAMANTHA (Urbani, from Friends, we should add) IS ASLEEP ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT.’

What do you do on a Wednesday night? Is it this? No? Try harder.
