Reviews
"It's impressive how much Blood Orange plays with what he knows and loves, how much he brings together his understanding of natural coolness, groove, love and music history in his songs and, above all, shows himself to be one of the best producers of our time. A thing like CUPID DELUXE can easily pass for album of the year." (musikexpress, December 2013)
