Performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, Hynes’ new compositions had a gravitas absent from his pop music – and plenty of discordant energy

Dev Hynes brought his Blood Orange project to the Danforth Music Hall last night for the first of two sold out shows.

Blood Orange gracefully delivers set full of conflict, soul at Greek

With lyrics rooted in real-world politics, but with melodies that flutter through the air to jazzy brass, drums and synth-pop beats, Hynes — producer, guitarist, pianist, singer and dancer — is a fluid, ineffable force.

That’s not a lazy label meant to skirt the labor of substantive criticism—his songs as Blood Orange are so clearly influenced by the Purple One that any reviewer would have to willfully exclude it from the conversation.
