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.

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

cupid deluxe is pretty good but the way he always uses completely static drum loops is frustrating

damn... That caramanica profile a brutal hit by the cringe-mafia
imo to like this guy's music is to have a crush on him but reading someone so in thrall to a flâneur-type is weird cuz they paint the most banal activities as some rarefied shit, like 'he sits in parks... plays sports... walks the streets... pays for tickets to the ballet... and he has Unlocked The Secret To The City Of New York"
also lol at this
That sort of engagement feels almost antiquated, a product of an older time when place was something close to destiny. That’s no longer the case. It is less essential than ever, in this time of easy mobility of ideas and internet-driven transnational fame, for an artist to identify with one spot in the world. To be, in essence, local.
being immediately followed by 'oh and his snapchat is the bomb'

Jesus, that Caramanica piece. That's what a Harvard education will buy you, I guess. "When friends like Florence Welch have concerts, he goes." Really living the NYC life to the max there.

i dont' like this nearly as much as the last one, on first listen, but it might be a grower. I also haven't listened to it intently, just put it on in the house

I can't get into this yet. On "Augustine" he sounds even duller than Solange.

i love the single. chorus is very tame impala. though the whole thing could have been released in 1986 apart from the 90s R&B breaks.
