This British singer/songwriter requires not one but two alter egos: folky eccentric Lightspeed Champion and funky provocateur Blood Orange. The former embodies Dev Hynes' restless side, flitting between dramatic chamber pop and ironic indie rock, while the latter lets him slip cosily into the role of intimate companion, with sleek electro-soul that alternates between club playfulness and bedroom seduction. Both projects reveal not only his multifaceted talents (and smooth baritone) but also a lyricist candidly self-aware and socially conscious, as invested in tearing down social injustice as in dissecting his personal woes.
