About this episode
Dev Hynes has felt like an outsider since he was a kid. But as a singer-songwriter and producer, he’s been able to transform that sense of otherness into some of the most acclaimed and interesting music of the last decade. For the last few years, Dev questioned if he would ever return to his solo project Blood Orange, but after losing his mom, he was called back to it. Now, he’s released his fifth album as Blood Orange, “Essex Honey.” Dev joins Tom Power to talk about his journey and how being an outsider has not only shaped his own music, but also the sound of some of the biggest artists in the world.
