That article is terrible. Hynes' girlfriend's mother setting up a donation page after a devastating fire is not "crowdfunding". Basically a very poorly timed excuse to hate on Zosia Mamet.

I like the Despot track it always just takes me by surprise trying to figure out what I cued up after Blood Orange.

The only album I have heard from them/him? is Cupid Deluxe and I love it, in the same vein as Solange and that Drake song that sounds like a song. Is the new or the previous album good?
― Moka, Saturday, 13 September 2014 03:23 (nine years ago) link
Just investigated and you all already knew this but Blood Orange produced Solange's Losing You which also sounds like the inspiration to Hold On We're Going Home so it seems like he is the reason I like those two.
― Moka, Saturday, 13 September 2014 03:39 (nine years ago) link
i used to be all "he is surely the reason i like both 'losing you' and 'everything is embarrassing'" but his own records are not v compelling at all, he is not a very convincing performer despite the super obvious influences he wears on his sleeve
like srsly imagine how bad "everything is embarrasing" could easily have been had he recorded it himself: https://soundcloud.com/user43036935/dev-hynes-everything-is-embarrassing-demo

does this guy have the narrowest range of any really good songwriter/producer of recent years?
nearly all the tracks i've heard from him--his "own" stuff and the stuff he produces for other singers--is working a very similar instrumental palette, songwriting style, mood.... it's a nice mood, to be sure.
― wizzz! (amateurist), Monday, 16 November 2015 19:36 (eight years ago) link
i went a listened to all his production/songwriting credits from other artists a while ago (as listed on wikipedia dot org https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dev_Hynes_discography) and some of them are more "blood orange" than others the ones that are both good and have that sound are imo

about to listen to a review copy of the new album, was like "hey wonder what ilx thinks about this dude" and hoooooooooooooly bejesus lol, did not know hynes was a cause of such contention.
i can /sorta/ see why people think it's the dreaded hipsterrnb but more than anything else the motivation behind that line of thinking m/l boils down to "urban outfitters locations have played his songs before." anyway, carly rae jepsen is featured on a track! excited to check this out.

it's good. somewhat uneven, and so anyone who's annoyed by the pastiche aspect of his arrangements will find that aesthetic in full flight here. but a lot of fun imo. "sandra's smile" isn't on it, which is odd considering how prominent sociopolitical concerns are throughout the record
