The new single “Chamakay‰” by Blood Orange is nothing less than a masterpiece. The day-old track is characteristically heartfelt, complex and catchy. DevontÌ© Hynes aka Blood Orange travels to Guyana, which is his mother‰’s hometown, to pay homage to his roots by filming a music video and dancing in an impossibly cool fashion.

In past videos, Hynes embraced the gritty NYC landscape and played in the shadows. This video shows a new side to the indie rock artist where he is surrounded by Guyanese locals and lush fauna. Hynes seems to be so pleased with his new environment that he dances for the better half of the video. “Chamakay‰” highlights Hynes‰’ appreciation for different stages of life through various camera shots. First, he plays basketball with a young boy. Then, he listens to wisdom from an elderly man and later grasps the hands of an infant. Hynes romanticizes the way of life in Guyana and turns everyday people into stars.

Blood Orange‰’s lyrics focus on trust in relationships and weariness with playing games. He challenges masculine norms by singing “I see you waiting for a girl like me to come along.‰” The lyrics complement tight electric guitar riffs and steady, subtle percussion. He layers drums, synthesizer and saxophone over passionate vocals. Hynes bears it all and doesn‰’t look back.

The fact that Blood Orange just released a hit song is particularly notable because he works on so many timely projects. Hynes recently finished scoring the soundtrack to the Gia Coppola film Palo Alto, he was the producer on Solange‰’s album True and co-wrote “Everything is Embarrassing‰” by Sky Ferriera.

In July, Blood Orange democratized his music by offering to play his new album Cupid Deluxe to anyone who would listen. He posted “TODAY I’ll be skating around the city playing an unmixed version of my record…Get in touch!‰” on his Twitter and Facebook. Later that month, he performed at Pitchfork Music Festival to a huge audience.

The release date for Cupid Deluxe cannot come soon enough. Listen to “Chamakay‰” and learn from Dev Hynes.
