Blood Orange announces new mixtape Angel’s Pulse out this Friday

Bilbao BBK Live

Blood Orange, aka Dev Hynes, has announced a new mixtape.

Titled Angel’s Pulse, the record lands this Friday and was written, produced and performed entirely by Hynes. His first release since last year’s Negro Swan, Hynes said in a statement he’s chosen to call the project a mixtape rather than album as it feels more like an ‘epilogue’ to his last project than the start of a new one.

Alongside the announcement, Hynes shared a message to fans. Read that, and take a look at the album’s artwork, below.

“My new record is called Angel’s Pulse & I performed, produced and mixed the entire thing myself. I’m calling it a mixtape.

I have a habit through the years of making records that I just give to friends, or on tape to people on the street, or no one. Usually this material is made directly after the album I’ve just put out. Somewhat of an epilogue to the thing I’ve made before. This time… I decided to release it.

I put as much work and care into it as I do with the albums I’ve released, but for some reason trained myself into not releasing things the rate at which I make them. I’m older now though, and life is unpredictable and terrifying… so here you go mates.

Hope you enjoy. Catch you soon.
Devonté aka Blood Orange.”
