Blood Orange has announced Essex Honey, his first album in six years, which will be out August 29 via RCA. It features a host of contributors, including Lorde, Caroline Polachek, Turnstile’s Brendan Yates, Daniel Caesar, Mustafa, Tariq Al-Sabir, author Zadie Smith, Ian Isiah, Tirzah, Eva Tolkin, The Durutti Column, Wet’s Kelly Zutrau, Naomi Scott, Amandala Stenberg, and Liam Benzvi.
Full details have yet to be revealed but Essex Honey includes recent single “The Field” and he’s just shared two more songs: airy ballad “Mind Loaded” which features Lorde, Caroline Polachek and Mustafa, and the breezy, jazzy, balearic “Somewhere In Between.” Check both of those out below.
Blood Orange will be on tour this year starting at San Francisco’s Portola Festival, and includes dates supporting Lorde and Turnstile and then headline shows including six nights at NYC’s Brooklyn Steel on November 29 and 30, and December 2-5. All dates are below.
