Devonté Hynes, who is better known as his stage name, Blood Orange, shared the music video for his brand new single, “Saint” today. The song appears on the artist’s fourth studio album, Negro Swan, which dropped this past Friday, August 24th. Hynes directed the music video which features appearances from Indya Moore (FX’s “Pose”), Kai the Black Angel, Ana Kraš, and others.

The video for “Saint” begins with a shot of the streets, it then moves upward into a studio pulling the focus to a hand on a keyboard as it opens the song. The rest of the clip is of Hynes performing the song in a home studio as friends gather around watching the magic unfold. It is an intimate gathering, and the visuals shows with multiple close-ups of fingers caressing instruments, moving keys on the soundboard. Friends watch as they eat pizza and smoke cigarettes, it is a gathering that fans of Hynes would love to join in on. Watch the music video for “Saint” down below.

Hynes previously shared videos for his songs “Charcoal Baby” and “Jewelry.” Negro Swan is available to stream and purchase digitally here. Fans can also purchase the Domino Mart deluxe double LP which is pressed on limited edition gold vinyl and includes a double-sided 24 x 36 poster and comes with MP3s by clicking here. There is also an indie retail version available as a deluxe double LP and is pressed on Orange vinyl.
