On May 19th, Dev Hynes’ aka Blood Orange is releasing a 12″ of remixes of his Cupid Deluxe track ‘Uncle Ace’ (out digitally already) and the two remixes, one from a/jus/ted, and this one from Kindness is well worth your ear time.
Kindness’ Adam Bainbridge and Dev Hynes have remixed each other and worked together before and on his remix he goes for a light funky touch with vocals by Chicago house singer Fingers Inc‘ Robert Owens.
It’s lovely, but also nice to hear that there’s a second Kindness album on the way to followup his brilliant 2012 debut and it’ll feature Blood Orange, Kelela, Robyn, production by Jimmy Douglass (Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z) and maybe Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the
R&B production duo responsible for Janet Jackson hits and more.
