(Domino)
Though now in demand as a producer for the likes of Solange Knowles and MKS, Dev Hynes is still finding time to develop his shape-shifting solo career. His second album as Blood Orange (the electronic counterpart to his guitar-led Lightspeed Champion project) feels like Hynes's most assured work to date. The surface is ultra-smooth 80s R&B channelling Fleetwood Mac and Prince; beneath it lie nagging hooks and the occasional barb – a lover on You're Not Good Enough is cruelly snubbed over a gleaming disco track. After years of toying around, Hynes may have finally found the sound that suits him best.
