Blood Orange Freetown Sound [PA]

4 stars out of 5 -- "FREETOWN SOUND is one deep avant-pop mixtape, a masterpiece of composition, curation and choreography addressing present-day black art and experience while refusing limits at every turn."
"He pulls references across centuries, nodding to Puccini, medieval theologian/philosopher/mope St. Augustine, and the intersection between modern Christianity and 20th-century imperialism, all on the same track."
4 stars out of 5 -- "FREETOWN SOUND is a record with unusually sharp focus."
"[B]old, challenging, uncompromising and overlong - an album, like the man who made it, that's the sum of its parts and then some."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Throughout FREETOWN, he speaks directly to those who look like him-the overlooked and under-appreciated, the persecuted and misunderstood -- consoling his community while highlighting our collective grace. 'Chance' treads the same ground as D'Angelo's 'The Charade,' using self-hurt to dissect racial inequality."
Clash (Magazine) - "[A]n expertly tailored and politically-charged work of pop."
