Devont Hynes debuted two dreamy new Blood Orange songs on Tuesdays Late Late Show With James Corden. The singer-songwriter unveiled Something to Do and Dark & Handsome during a brief medley staged on a fake park with artificial turf and benches.
Hynes opened with Something to Do, reclining on the grass as he played soulful guitar lines over a chorus of backing vocals (Waiting for something to do, waiting for something to lose). That interlude then segued seamlessly into Dark & Handsome, with Hynes belting staccato lines (Nothing lasts forever, and I told you/Everything you need to know is not true/ Lying to myself because it hurts you) over airy keys and programmed drums.
The late-night performance follows Hynes Coachella set, which kicked off with a cover of Neil Youngs Heart of Gold. He issued the fourth Blood Orange LP, Negro Swan, in August 2018, and is currently promoting the album with a North American tour that continues April 19th in Santa Barbara, California.
