VIDEO: BLOOD ORANGE - TIME WILL TELL

“Time Will Tell” is the closing track from the album CUPID DELUXE. The song itself was recorded live in a one take that lasted about 15 minutes I ad-libbed the vocals recalling lyrics from songs of mine and a song by Adam Bainbridge (which he was unaware i was going to do). Adam was on the drum machine, Blue May on guitar, Sam Beste on piano, & Tawiah on backing vocals. I then took some of my vocals from towards the end and overlaid it as a backing vocal."

-- Dev Hynes

Cupid Deluxe by Blood Orange is out now digitally and this Tuesday on vinyl via Domino.
