We’ve also curated a special playlist featuring all tracks from ‘The Ascension’ alongside the songs that helped inspire the album. Experience the creative journey from the influence to the final work.

Blood Orange’s @devhynes recently spoke with @cbc about his new album ‘Essex Honey’, revealing how Sufjan Stevens’ “Fourth of July” resonated with him while grieving his mother’s death—an experience that shaped the record.

On “Fourth of July,” Dev reflects: “It just sounds like he’s in my head. The things he is saying and things he’s experiencing, I felt like—and did—experience.”
