Essex Honey Lyrics & Tracklist - Blood Orange

Blood Orange, the stage name of Dev Hynes, is releasing the new album Essex Honey on August 29, 2025, via RCA Records. This marks his first full-length studio album in six years, following “Negro Swan” (2018) and the EP “Four Songs” (2022), this 14-track masterpiece dives deep into grief, acceptance, and Hynes’ Essex upbringing with dreamy soundscapes and introspective lyrics. Lead singles The Field, Mind Loaded, and Somewhere In Between set the tone, blending soulful R&B with indie and experimental vibes.

Featuring a stellar lineup of collaborators like Lorde, Caroline Polachek, Daniel Caesar, Mustafa, Turnstile’s Brendan Yates, and Zadie Smith’s debut singing feature, Essex Honey promises a rich tapestry of voices and styles. The cover art, rooted in Hynes’ childhood near London, ties music to identity, making this album a personal exploration of loss and healing. Essex Honey feels like a warm, nostalgic hug that soothes the soul while sparking curiosity.
