| 3.4 great | Erwann S. STAFF | April 27th 21 |
A lovely pop album disguising itself with funky basslines, sultry vocal performances, and an underlying sexy atmosphere that penetrates the whole record. There are two problems here, but like Kanye, Nas, and Really Doe, They Major. First of all, Hynes' voice doesn't always fit the music he's created - no wonder he called so many feats, and secondly, the pace is weird. It's starting off strong with the first two tracks, then it fades into "meh-alright-i-guess", to only pick up halfway.

Sure, we've seen this stylistic refurbishment of 80s tropes in other art before (think:
Drive, GTA Vice City, M83). But Cupid Deluxe is an album that takes these styles and blends
in them into something more with an identity - or rather, Blood Orange's identity. Here
slightly distorted guitars sparkle through out, but never outstay their welcome; sax solos
are often the go to refrain for a lot of songs, and the synths are used to great effect
(listen to the dark opening to 'High Street'). A very well polished album.
