Blood Orange adresses American race issues in new song ‘Do You See My Skin Through The Flames?‘
Dev Hynes aka BLOOD ORANGE got a strong opinion on America’s current race problems. He shared them in the form of Do You See My Skin Through The Flames?, a brand new 10-minute long piece. And it also comes with the following statement by the musician.
‘America is in the middle of an act of terrorism right now, and black people are being attacked and killed every day. Every day I wake up and it becomes harder for me to interact with my friends and the world around me. I am scared, scared for myself, for my family, for my brothers & for my sisters. You may see me write on this page or playing music and see me as Blood Orange or Dev Hynes, but I turn the corner and I am just another black man, a black man that can’t get a cab, a black man that has to be careful how I walk if I want to overtake a young white woman so that she doesn’t feel scared, a black man that has to sit down and be silent when a police car circles the basketball court I play at, a black man that could be shot down at any time in my life, and as I’m dying know full well, that even if they were to catch who killed me, he will get off free. It is an incredible sadness & heaviness. Being told that we do not matter on and on and on day to day to day. America likes to act like a super human yet continues to blame human error for these horrific acts. I don’t know what to do anymore.’
There’s not much to add, right. Witness the new BLOOD ORANGE piece right here.
