Blood Orange
“You’re Not Good Enough”
Cupid Deluxe (out 11/12 on Domino)
The reinging MVP of pop music/rad turtlenecks finally gives us another taste of his highly-anticipated second LP under the Blood Orange moniker. Blood Orange (aka Dev Hynes) has already had his fingerprints all over a few of the best tracks of the year (MKS’ “Flatline,” Friends’ “The Way”), and “You’re Not Good Enough” pairs the Londoner’s signature slinky sound with a refreshing lyrical edge. At the very least, it’s the kind of song that makes you feel good about getting over someone, and lord knows, this world can never have too many songs about that. Roll on November 12th.
If you have the new iTunes (which, of course, I don’t), you can stream Cupid Deluxe here.
