Singer-songwriter Devonté Hynes drops and picks up musical projects like bad habits. His latest is Blood Orange, which has a new record out on Domino Recs titled Coastal Grooves. I’ve received a lotta requests to touch down on this one, and I could see why. Some of the grooves

I’ve gotten tons of requests on this new release from the Weeknd, Thursday. Though I’m not exactly excited to dive into this Canadian, experimental R&B project again, I figure I’d at least touch down on one track to let y’all know how I feel.
