British R&B/new waveish weirdo Devonté Hynes (you might remember his records when he was going by Lightspeed Champion or when he was the frontman for Test Icicles, but then again, maybe not) has a new album out under the name Blood Orange (sure) called Cupid Deluxe (ok) and it’s great, all full of synths, minor chords and feelings. No clue what prompted the dancing in this video for the album’s closing track, “Time Will Tell,” but the song is probably one of the best things I’ve heard in 2013.
