Listen: Blood Orange Remixes Friends’ ‘The Way’
Lovestruck Dev Hynes-produced original gets a new starring turn.

Dev Hynes initially made his mark on Friends’ stunning 2013 returning track ‘The Way’ by producing the Prince-channelling original. He’s one gone step further this time round, however, by slapping his vocals all over a new version/remix.
Blood Orange’s trademark lovestruck sound is stamped all over this reinterpretation, with the lusty cooing being amplified tenfold. It’s a duet in the most traditional, outrageous sense.
